Detroit, I have no idea. A message of "it gets better?". Most residents right now are either those who were affected by the riots and carry a deep seated fear and hatred of the city, people who grew up in the city during the recession and have basically hit rock bottom multiple times, immigrants who moved to neighboring cities and have started a slight culture there, or idealistic youngsters that think they can change things.

I fit into the last category and I have no idea what this area wants out of you.

I live in the burbs, but whenever I'm down in Detroit, what I really get is something like "get out more" or "try something new". This could just be my age talking, I'm in my 20s and that's a calling I think people in general get around this time, but I honestly do feel like Detroit encourages me to step out of my comfort zone.
