Florida... It's humid and filled with tourists. The parts without tourists are filled with craptastic drivers (old people and/or New Yorkers [sorry, folks!]).

People have a bad impression about Detroit from the news. What you see on the news tends to be in neighborhoods where visitors never venture. (That's not to justify it in any sense, rather it's to say that visitors need not worry about being hit by stray gunfire.) It's actually not a bad place, and I say that as someone who grew up in the suburbs where it is not rare to encounter people who haven't been downtown in a decade.
