This ain't even California. The entire west coast is having problems this year.
The entire West coast has been having problems for many years now. This is the year they begin to reap what they've sown. Portland, Seattle, are on fire too. Nightly.

As with any city there are places you avoid. Tell me how safe DC is again? Besides I don't live in the 'nooga. Just go there for dinner once in a while.

DC is apparently safer than the ‘nooga. Who’da guessed.

Baltimore in the other hand...

I don’t live in or near either. Nice to visit though. So is the ‘nooga. Had lunch and quaffs at some brewery there a few years back. Can’t find the pint glass or id tell you the name.

The downtown area around the aquarium has some pretty good restaurants and is consider safe. Nice, clean, but parking can be a little bit of a hassle, it's not expensive though.

Nothing is safe there. Even the harbor area has had issues. This used to be a pretty good place to go. Just a sad azz place overall. Can't wait to leave this area one day.

It's not much of a town. There's a big reservoir there called Detroit Lake. It's about half way up the Cascades to Santiam Pass.

It'll take a while to get here. That's up in the foothills where there are still a lot of forest lands. I'm down in the valley with a lot of pastures and grass farms. The grass farms are all mostly bare and plowed right now.

Detroit MI was probably not a shithole in the 1890s. Or maybe it was. Why else would they leave.

Looks like a nice place.

Quote:
Detroit is a city in Marion County, Oregon, United States. It was named for Detroit, Michigan, in the 1890s because of the large number of people from Michigan in the community. The population was 202 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Stay safe Dennis!
