🇺🇸 Detroit: The Underdog That Stole My Heart

Went in expecting "America's most dangerous city" – left obsessed with its post-apocalyptic glamour. 🏙️ First Impressions • Downtown = GTA 6 beta version: Empty but stunning skyscrapers Millennial-era corporate fantasy vibes (where my stockbroker girlies at? 💼) • Sweetest Heart Church: Crashed a wedding 🎨 (sketched in peace!) 🎨 Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) • "Rich Grandpa Aesthetic": Van Gogh vs. Gauguin face-off ("You can't escape me!") • Chinese Gallery Mindfuck: Buddha statue staring at another Buddha's back (My drawing turned them into grumpy aunties 😅) • MVP: Sweet old employee offering me a folding stool 🥹 🍓 East Market Highlights • Michigan strawberries = edible heaven • Marx vs. German Lit Drama at used bookstore: "Not with Goethe – PHILOSOPHY SECTION!" ✍️ Petition: Let authors tag themselves before death! Final Thought? Detroit’s like your cool broke aunt – she’s seen better days, but her stories? Priceless. #Detroit #UrbanPhoenix #ArtLover
