Moving to Detroit: Your guide to relocating to the Detroit metropolitan area (USA Moving Guides) - Softcover
Synopsis
Forget the outdated headlines and gritty movie scenes. "Moving to Detroit" is your essential field guide to the reality of life in the modern Motor City. This comprehensive guide moves beyond the "Comeback City" narrative to provide a candid, witty, and deeply practical look at what it truly means to relocate to one of America's most complex and resilient metropolitan areas. It's the instruction manual they forgot to include with your new address, designed to help you navigate the region's unique personality, from its proud history to its dynamic, and sometimes complicated, present.
Dive deep into the practicalities of setting up your new life, starting with the most crucial decision: choosing your turf. The book offers a detailed breakdown of the fiercely distinct personalities of the city's neighborhoods and its sprawling suburbs, from the hipster lofts of Corktown to the leafy streets of the Woodward Corridor. Learn how to master the wild west of the local real estate and rental markets, and understand the single most important rule of Detroit living: you absolutely, positively need a car. You'll not only learn how to survive the infamous potholes and perpetual road construction but also how to speak the secret language of the freeways, finally understanding the difference between the Lodge, the Ford, and the Chrysler.
This guide is your passport to becoming a true local. It provides a culinary tour of the region's holy trinity—Coney dogs, square pizza, and world-class shawarma—and decodes the fierce, often heartbreaking, fanaticism of the city's four major sports teams. Explore a cultural landscape that gave the world Motown and techno, boasts a world-class art museum, and features a vibrant public art scene. You'll learn to talk the talk, from understanding why it's called "pop" to mastering the pronunciation of "Gratiot," and get an inside look at the unique local character, a compelling blend of "Midwest Nice" and "Detroit Grit."
More than just a travel guide, this book is a month-by-month survival manual for your first year. It prepares you for everything from surviving the wrath of a Michigan winter and the humidity of summer to embracing the region's spectacular natural beauty in the Great Lake State. Navigate the maze of the local school systems, understand the quirks of city and state taxes, and get a calendar of the essential festivals that mark the passage of time, from the Detroit Grand Prix to Noel Night. This is the ultimate resource for anyone ready to look beyond the myth and discover the soul of a truly remarkable American city.
