🇺🇸 OMG Detroit?! I Was SO Wrong!

Went for a conference, bracing for chaos—friends warned me it’s "America’s most dangerous city" 🚨. But honey, this place is a glorious time capsule of wealth and art! 🏙️ First Impressions: "Ghost Town Metropolis" Downtown skyscrapers: So sleek, I felt like a 2000s Wall Street villain with a flip phone. 📞💸 Sweetest Heart Church 💒: Stumbled into a wedding + doodled in peace (no one kicked me out!). DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts): Rich-people aesthetic—Van Gogh & Gauguin self-portraits facing off like a dramatic breakup. 🎨🔥 Chinese gallery mindfuck: A Buddha statue staring at another Buddha’s back? Chills. 🍓 Weekend Fun Eastern Market: Fresh strawberries = transcendent. Michigan’s biggest used bookstore 📚: Found Marx misfiled (sorry, German section!), bought weirdly specific bedtime reads. Final Verdict: Detroit’s like that cool aunt who used to party with rockstars—still got class, stories, and surprises. #DetroitUnlocked #PhDrambles #ArtAndCrime #MidwestMagic ✨🏛️
