re: What is the worst part of Detroit?

That dumb line in that song is wrong, because there really is no south Detroit, due to what Trey said (Canada) and the south part is basically called Downriver and just a little bit white trash, but decent communities. Right downtown isn't bad and midtown near Wayne State is doing great. IMO, it's sort of a tie between Highland Park (north of midtown to about 8 Mile), East Detroit before you hit the Grosse Pointes, and Southwest Detroit (though the Mexicans keep that from total disaster).
