About Detroit
Automotive industry built this Michigan city, then largely abandoned it during outsourcing decades. Urban decay coexists with revitalization efforts in neighborhoods attempting comeback stories. Music heritage runs deep from Motown through techno and hip-hop scenes. The city spreads across flat terrain that makes winters feel especially harsh. Canadian border sits minutes away, visible across Detroit River.
