In 1986, I visited a friend getting his masters or Ph.D. in Psych from Wayne State. And, major parts of the city were complete hell holes then. I couldn't believe there was a place worse than Camden. And, then there it was.

I can't imagine how or what could make it worse, but I'd believe that somehow it's worse now.

But, I enjoyed parts of it.

For a '67-68 and Billy Martin Tiger fan such as I, Tiger Stadium was a treat.

Greektown was OK. Food better than OK.

Had the best overall movie experience of my life watching "Aliens" with a vocal ethnic audience whose active participation in the movie added unintended suspense and comedy. Like an unrehearsed "Rocky Horror," with people talking to the screen, giving the actors orders/suggestions/warning, and arguing with each other.

And for some reason, I found it hilarious that we went SOUTH into Canada!!


The only other times I was in Detroit was to change planes [Northwest? I think]
