GM Renaissance Center. It was a long and quite awkward walk, actually. The previous trip was Courtyard Detroit. The walk was better but not by much.
FWIW, I don’t gamble, but I love to watch people play roulette. And it was all there was to do there...
Well, considering the walk I took, I guess I DO gamble. ;-)
Greektown to the RenCen is less than a mile walk, and not really through the worst parts. Sure, 5+ years ago, it was still a bit seedy, but nothing like that which this video is showing. We are talking about the part of town “across the freeway” (West of I-94 through to about the Southfield Freeway).
You’re experience, sorry to tell you, is not relative.
As long as you were totally aware of your surroundings and the people around you and able to sprint away in a moment, or armed, or both, you were ok.
