"lovely and well kept street!"

I love Madison Street! It's one of the few cleanest streets in Detroit! You'll find a lot to do on this street. You can find Cheli's Chili on one end of the street, and on the other you'll go by Ford...

"Awesome street to be on!"
- ChrisSED
Monroe Street to me is an excellent place to go to for anyone who wants to experience a rather good time in downtown Detroit. At the start of Monroe Street is Compuware's headquarters, which includes...

This is one of the best places to be in Detroit. You have got all the things here that one can want for entertainment. Comercia park base ball stadium. A little further down you come to the City Theat...

A drive down this street from downtown proper all the way to Grand River Ave., is awsome. If your not used to tall colorfull windowed buildings you'll want to park and admire! The lighting at night is...

"Horrible Slum Conditions"
- Arianllyn
Cass Avenue is a slum - there's no way 'round it. It makes up the heart of what's known as the "Cass Corridor" - a notorious drug and other crime infested area of the city. The homes are in mostly dep...

"One last ride here before the whole close down "

I rode down this street for the last time before the Ford plant reached it's issues with keeping all the jobs. My boyfriend's father worked for the Ford plant and took us around that area. Beaubien St...
"Get out of there if you can"
- wiggleworm7
This part of town is as seedy as they come. Loaded with drug dealers and gangs, liquor stores are on every corner, bars are on the windows, and people are loitering in the streets, even at two a.m....
"A great little street with lots to offer"
- namgilliw
West Columbia street runs right past the fox theatre, so you know its going to be a good street. Besides the theatre itself, this street is home to some great places to eat, such as Da Edorao Town Gr...
"Not that great"
- ChrisSED
I used to go up and down Michigan Avenue all the time on Route 200 (SMART bus route). From what I've seen, the part of Michigan Avenue that runs through Detroit would not be an area I'd want to live i...
"close to everything"
- ChrisSED
Randolph Street is actually decent. It can take you right down to both Hart Plaza and the Renaissance Center with no problems, but good luck with traffic while trying to get across East Jefferson Ave...
"Downtown area is nice"
- ChrisSED
Congress Street isn't too bad. While I can't make any valid arguments for the outlying parts of Congress Street, the downtown section of it is actually nice. You can see Cadillac Square, get to Campus...
"Traffic Traffic and more traffic"
- Genevialive
Please someone remind me why I had the nerve tho think that I could drive down John R. Street on a day that they were having a baseball game or a gathering of some sort? I was on Madison st and though...
"Nothing here but a building and aggrivation"

So, I thought I'd be smart and beat everyone at rush hour because I had just came off of Macomb street and I wanted to get back to y hotel. I was suppose to get on Gratiot Ave so I took Raynor Street...
"If your taking your family to the park please take Witherell..."

I took my son to Grand Circus Park on one of our last days in Detroit. I enjoyed myself the entire time of my visit and I actually liked driving on Witherell Street for some reason. The circular shape...
"Quiet, barren, and a little creepy."
- jasonaltenburg
There really isn't much of note on this street beyond parking lots and bricked up carport entrances. There are a few views of the Fox Theatre, and occasionally kids lined up to get into the Fillmore....
"Lots of places to go and little time to do it in !"
- Genevialive
Let me just start out by saying that Macomb and Monroe street made me fall in love with the night life in Detroit. I started on Macomb street and went to Monroe Street Steakhouse and let me tell you t...
"I loved Capitol Park in the afternoon but hated the traffic "

I took a drive one day down Shelby Street with a friend who was a local resident of Detroit. I had never been to this area and she decided to take me to Capitol Park for the afternoon with my son. Cap...
"parking, the river and shopping here."

You just gotta drive this stretch of road in both daylight and night. Daytime activites are park at one of the nearby lots and trot to the specialty shops, antiques, glassware, jewelry and many others...
"Beautiful little street"
- jasonaltenburg
This is a little riverfront street that connects the Cobo and Joe Louis Arena. It's a very pleasant little stroll, and the pathways are very nice. It's definitely very fun to walk when it's quiet an...
