there's a lot more to do in Chicago.
One thing that suprised me about Detroit was that while I am sure I wasn't near the worse neighborhoods was that it didn't look real bad. We would be driving by a lower (working) class area and the houses looked maintained but then you would notice a window broken here and there which obv. indicated that the house was abandoned. Even downtown there were buildings with no tenants but they still looked like it wouldn't cost much to fix them up.
