    If you want to get all technical about it. I am sure there are many in southern Illinois who don't want to claim Chicago, either.

    All I'm saying is there's a lot of creatures in Michigan that can kill you too lol. NJ has Camden, look it up.

    30 years ago I traveled from Toronto to Detroit to watch a Formula 1 race. Had a Gerber Mark 1 in my duffel bag. U.S. Border guy sees it while searching my bag, says "When ever I travel to Detroit I bring a .357 magnum...".

    Thankfully the creatures there tend to stay in the city and just kill each other. I grew up in Livonia which is just outside of Detroit, and it used to be the safest city in the country with a population over 100,000. It was also the whitest city with over 100,000...

    Talk about killing each other, I asked a guy at the post office if it bothered him when people said someone "went postal" when they went off their nut and killed people? I told him that I never felt unsafe in the post office since postal workers seem to only shoot each other and not the customers. :)

    I used to work there. The building I worked in was fired on twice.

    Well, it is just outside of Detroit... Lol. For a city of it's size though, it was pretty "safe" while I was growing up, despite being right by the most dangerous city in the country.

    Did you work in the auto industry?

    Funny,True Story: I grew up in Michigan about 45 minutes South of Detroit, much closer to Toledo,Ohio. Lots of people who live on opposite ends of the country have never heard of Toledo or dont know where it was geographically so I always just say Detroit. Nearly every person I told I was from Detroit to during my younger travelling days always instinctively took a step back...

    I was an IT contractor for GM's insurance subsidiary. Livonia was a nice enough place, for a suburban area. And I think the folks that shot at the building were disgruntled former employees, rather than local hooligans. I never felt unsafe there, but I did get an interesting call one night at about 3:00am, one of our database guys asking what to do when there was gunfire. Was more used to that sort of adventure when I worked in Detroit.

    I remember in the 80s my older brother bought a shirt that said, "I'm so bad I vacation in Detroit".
