I had to read that a couple of times, but glad I did. This does inspire me to post about growing up in Detroit and some of the wild stuff that happened then. I'm not sure I would ever come out of that particular rabbit hole if I did though.

I used to drive a truck into canada. One option was to go thru Detroit into windsor...the other option was to go way north thru huron. Detroit was shorter and thus cheaper. I went thru detroit ONCE. Damn war zone. (This was in the early nineties). Never again. I'd spend the extra few hundred dollars go the long way. I considered it insurance.
Oh do it! I visited Detroit after the recession and stayed at Grace Lee Boggs Activist house which is located in the worst area of Detroit. It was so insane, I could barely recognize it as the US. Crazed people were at convenience stores, lots of handicapped people, it was absolutely like an apocalyse. Write about it!!
I do have some good halloween stories might be just the right timing :) It always seemed to get freaky then.
do you still live in detroit?
Las Vegas currently. I have a house here in Nebraska too, which is where I'm staying till after Halloween.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
post it, whatever the fuck it is!
As a fellow detroiter you'll have to explain what Devils night is if you are going to bring up halloween. Once I moved out of the city I was surprised to learn that devils night isn't a thing anywhere else in the country really.
It was supposed to be the night before Halloween and not be quite as destructive as we made it be. Toilet paper in the football coaches tree was a classic bit most everyone did. Sometimes it was a night for revenge too.
