Joe and Charlie. 2 class acts and good guys. I enjoyed my time with these guys last night and hope to do it again soon. Maybe when Michigan gets legal. The cocktail waitress told us they spent $8M on the sportsbook alone. I had not been to this casino in a few years and was very impressed from my first couple of visits. The Sportsbook is beautiful. I can't wait to go back again. Next time Mr. B. Joe put a hurting on a big bowl of Mongolian BBQ and then came back with [2] buckets of crab legs! ha! Weren't as sweet as the last couple times I've been to Red Lobster but no complaints. It's 3PM now the next day and I'm still full. . I can't hang like I used to and slept till 11 am this morning. Very enjoyable night. You need to come with Joe next time John. As many books as you've been in over the years I'm sure you would have also been impressed. Afterall. This was still Detroit. If you have not been to Detroit in a while you may be shocked at how they transformed the downtown area. Next time maybe a Red Wing or Tiger game guys.
Oh yes. Like most major cities, you still need to keep to the well-lit areas. I live in the burbs 6 miles from the 8-mile border but worked in the city for close to 30 years and I may be more comfortable than most maneuvering around that city, especially at night, but even I know the areas my guard is up more than others. I remember our company had a police sergeant come in and brief us sales guys on some of the more obvious tips. The best one that stuck out to me as you don't want to be walking around looking for quarters as you're going through the city. I was one of the only guys on the sales force that was never stuck up. I like to credit that sergeant's advice along with keeping my head on a swivel so to speak. I witnessed a lot of crime over the years including driving upon a dead body one morning on the way to my first stop. A huge difference between the downtown and neighborhood areas though. Like night and day. Downtown Detroit is alive again. It really is a hell of a transformation if you're last memory of Detroit was a bad one.Thanks for sharing, Bushay.
I visited Detroit a few years ago and I was shocked by the number of liquor stores and boarded-up buildings.
Parts of the city also lacked street lights which made some of the sketchy neighborhoods sketchier.
I was told by an employee in one of the downtown casinos to take a cab or Uber at night instead of walking.
Sounds like a great place to live Bushay......good griefOh yes. Like most major cities, you still need to keep to the well-lit areas.
