It is still sort of surreal that right next to the Tiger's stadium there are a bunch of condos, but right next to the condos are a bunch of overgrown/condemned buildings. Also, I've been at the waterfront for the freedom fireworks (combined July 1 and July 4 fireworks display) on the Windsor side of the river and it was a pleasant experience. I'd never consider doing the same on the Detroit side of the river.
Though I should note that I haven't lived in the area since 2005, but most of my family still lives there.
Edit: Here's what I'm talking about. There are rows of condos right by the intersection of I-75 and Woodward Ave, but to the north there are some empty fields with abandoned houses. At one point those lots (which are now empty) were lined with houses.
