area of my town with blocks and blocks and blocks of dilapidated housing on par with that, I guess it just seems exaggerated to me.

I do know there are some wealthy and upper middle class suburbs that are doing well like Gross Pointe, Ann Arbor and Wyandotte, but how does the actual city look these days? I've heard there has been some revitalization, which is great, but how is the actual "city" doing (not the suburbs)?

And, I'm honestly asking this question because I can only find extremes when I try to find images of the city. I haven't been there since I was a little girl, myself.

I found this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/detroit-in-20-years-2033_n_4269422.html

To me, at least, it still seems as if the city has more than its far share of blight.
