Images of Detroit: A different perspective


Sukina Bazzi


          When people think of Detroit there are so many images people portray of how the city is.   When most people talk about Detroit they think of big city, violence, and trouble.  Those people are outsiders.  On the other hand, when you get an insight from people who practically live there or around there like me for instance, it’s a whole different story.
            Detroit isn’t the dangerous city everyone thinks it is.  People tend to forget about its beauty and fun.  The city of Detroit has several types of amazing restaurants for all your cravings.  From savory to sweet you can go to and of their Greek restaurants or even to some of their sweet shops like Good Girls Go to Paris.   
            Most people think of Detroit as an unsafe place to even walk around.  When really the city is defiantly the place to go when you just want to enjoy a nice walk in the city with beautiful views.  There are so many shops and things to do and enjoy, you’ll never get bored.  When you see movies in the city of Detroit it shows gangs and violenceI’ve been living outside of Detroit all my life, and have never witnessed a gang before.
            My experience living in the Detroit metro area has been a really fun oneI love to go out to eat and try new things and being here in Detroit I always have so many options.  There are also so many theatres downtown with musical productions that are just wonderful.  There is the Red Wings, Tigers, and Lions stadium to go watch a game with some friends.
            Detroit really is a safe and beautiful city.  Just like they say don’t judge a book by its cover, which really goes for Detroit.  Movies, images, and all types of those things give off such a harsh idea of what the city is like, when its really not.  Personally, along with many others, its just another regular city, with just more fun and action!
