    I grew up just outside south Detroit. Those network television shows were nuts. It was the 90s. Crime was everywhere in Detroit. This was the era of hundreds of buildings being burned on devils night, and every single crime was done by the same guy. I remember his description clearly. 5’9-6’. Short hair. Between the ages of 20-35.

      I grew up in “north Detroit” (Oakland County 🤣) and remember the same things. It’s amazing that Devil’s Night isn’t a thing anymore.

      Also, being from Oakland County, you can imagine how people reacted when I went to Wayne State.

        The landlords all got to burn their worthless properties and cash in in the insurance money. What’s left to do now?
