Re: Not a joke - this is real!
Not limited to Detroit. The City of Newburgh, NY (not far from our Mid-Hudson Valley home) for decades was known as 'Jewel of the Hudson.' Now more often you hear 'Sewer of the Hudson.' There are neighborhoods not safe in the daytime. Houses in the heart of downtown are available for a song with the agreement to put the money into gentrifying them, but so far it's proven an uphill battle. Sad....
