    Detroit airport was very nice last time I went through. I really wish I had time to leave the airport. Next time I’m gonna stop a bit longer.

      I’m a Detroiter. Born here and I’ve lived a lot of places, but Detroit has the most genuinely kind people you will ever meet. Detroit is a cool city in beautiful state. Fuck Ohio.

            That’s the thing I think people don’t get (including some of our own) this hatred is supposed to be teasing. Michigan is lovely even if some of my relatives would die before admitting it. Y’all’ve had your troubles as have we, and I actually point to y’all as where I’d like our state to get closer to. You seem to really be pulling out of the rust belt spiral.

                That’s what matters. We’re still gonna give you shit from below your southern border, but having seen places like Dayton stay devastated by the death of the rust belt, places like Detroit and Cleveland going from national jokes to getting better is amazing

        The twin cities is by far the nicest metro area in the country. Went there to watch a football game against the Vikings, and compared to KC? Honestly a shame we couldn’t delete KC, and copy/paste Minneapolis over KC. In a Denver jersey, I was treated better in the twin cities than in Denver. It was so wild. We won the game and I got several dozen compliments, they were so nice that it put me in a better mood and made me nicer. I can’t say enough good things about the people of Minnesota.

          Twin cities is MN not MI. Man our country has way to many M states that feel like any abbreviation could be for another

            No I know, I veered off because OP said detroiters are the nicest people. I’ve been there once and not really long enough to judge the people of Detroit one way or another. But it was just a chance to remind people how great the people of Minnesota are. I’ve been there a million times and I don’t know what it is but it makes me fall in love every time. It’s definitely not the best view or most warm but the best thing about Minnesota is it’s people.

          Detroit has crazy light show tunnel in their airport. I don’t know about Chicago, but can confirm Detroit.

            They don’t tone it down at night either. Going through there at 3AM after a long flight is complete sensory overload.

        I don’t remember that. I remember it being very Motown themed and actually having decent facilities with good reasonably priced food.
