Went to Jazz Fest in Detroit one time.  I got the impression if you walked two blocks from the Rennaisance Center you were in downtown Mogadishu.

I got the same impression from Milwaukee when I was there for GenCon 2000. :nerd:

Milwaukee is the worst smelling place I've ever been to, I think.

I am always amazed just how many cold dark depressing cities with failing economies we have in the United States.  USA!  USA!

Oxnard is worse than both.
Also lived there.  :lol:

Not a bad little town, with great weather and uncrowded beaches.

Obviously I haven't done enough as ambassador of my fair Gritty Kitty(tm) shitty city.
I need to post more stories, like the woman who was shot and killed by a robber because she didn't have enough money on her, and it was insulting to him.

You should have left GenCon and gotten some fresh air.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The advantage to being from Detroit is that almost nowhere else in America seems all that bad.  I had a friend who got married in Milwaukee near The Museum of the Black Holocaust:

As you might expect it's in one of the worst part of towns; but after years of living in the D it seemed down right pleasant.   :)
