8 Mile isn't even that bad, it is FAR from the worst part of Detroit. 8 mile is what separates Detroit city limits from the suburbs. 6 and 7 mile, now that is a different story!
Yeah, 8 Mile is tame compared to Mt. Elliot (6 mile) or 7 Mile... Although shootings do happen on occasion along 8 mile, one of the most famous ones being when Proof was shot down at the triple c.. There was also another time when someone went into one of the strip clubs (i think trummps?? Who knows, theres a ton of them along there) armed with an AK47 and shot up the place and killed a number of people....
I never thought that dreary highway would ever become world famous... LOL.
Come to think of it, the most dangerous part of Metro Detroit isnt Detroit at all but Highland Park, MI (which is a dilapidated enclave suburb within the City of Detroit)...
There are plenty of topics about crime in the city-vs-city room. Please do a forum search and add to one of the existing topics before creating a new one that's too similar.
