Which one is your friend? I need to email him and confirm that he doesn't know you and wouldn't wish to.

Is this really what you want? Are you going to be proud in the future when you sift through your droning posts? What are you trying to prove? Probably a lot. Probably that you're addiction to drama has relegated to an insignificant messageboard that you can't ever get around to log out of.

yo elusive, you been living in a detroit for a while right? how long has it been like it is in the video?
I like the community attitude, it's great, but i could see problems arising when a lot of people start moving there. It looks like fun right now though.

i grew up in the country (2 hours north or so) - and was never truly exposed to detroit until age 20 or so. where i grew up, feels like youre in another country. michigan really is lovely...and 2 hours in any direction can take you to another world/feel.
detroit gets more negative press on the tubes because that's what sells (like the topic video says); people love hearing about a city in peril.
there's nice pockets (e.g. midtown/wayne state university campus, huge medical campus/hospital), downtown downtown is nice...it's 3-8miles outside of the city that's shit.
community attitude is pretty good but it's not my thing; im glass-half-full type of guy i just cant find the outward enthusiasm. i bought a home here so that says more than most. but im in a good area and hedged my risks pretty well --- and the gf is going to med school for 4 years so short-term it's a good decision.
there's still no shopping downtown. bars, restaraunts, ball games/stadiums etc...but no one comes here to shop. all of that is in the suburbs. i dont know if that'll ever come back; im not in a position or have the history to make such hypothesis.
party life is pretty decent...some real quality people here, no doubt. im not heavily experienced in other major cities, but anytime i travel to chicago for a show or whatnot, it's pretty contrasty the difference in how things operate and just the quality of people. in those big cities you cant hop around town to multiple parties in a night, either...here, you can do all that and still squeeze in a coney before an afterparty. the ghost town feel is nice sometimes too because it gives you a sense of the wild wild west and just being able to get away with anything re: traffic violations. but that's only after hours, as during the day things are pretty standard for city life.
i can understand the appeal to the younger crowd. it reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin...

"but i could see problems arising when a lot of people start moving there"

Is there a reason why you're coming at me all snarky and also is the a reason why you assume I had a rephlex anniversary party?
In any event i'm assuming you're referring to the whole DEMF afterparty debate thing. Well i think i'm having a good enough time bumping Jay Dee on vinyl for a nice suburb party
