Oakland Ave, Detroit

Some nice old trees. The homes are large and old and not in great condition. There is lots of vacant grassy areas. There are several homes with boarded up windows. It's not bad during the day if you live here but I'd not go out at night. Not a mixed well neighborhood. there is litter on the street too. Really I suggest a different route. The people I was working with hated it when the guy would drive down that street and never did when they drove themselves. They told me a tale of a guy getting shot for riding his bike on the wrong side of the street one year, before my time, but it could just be a story, so am sorry to be mentioning it, but still, be aware.
