I grew up between Chicago and Detroit. Chicago has much more going on. Nicer architecture, clubs, festivals, etc. Detroit is OK to visit. I wouldn't chose it for a vacation spot but it's alright to see when you're in the area. If you were going to chose between the two to live, I'd say Chicago. As far as where in Chicago, well that depends on what you're looking for.

Chicago is a much more thriving Urban city with a great many things to do.
Detroit is experiencing an rebirth along Woodward Ave., converting old vacant buildings to loft residences. Detroit has Museums, art, the theater, but not to the same quantity as Chicago.
My friends and I go to Chicago several times a year, but we also head downtown Detroit to experience what Detroit has as well.

I don't really hang out in Detroit till summer then there's Lot's of things to do, the museum district is good, there's some nice park here especially near the waterfronts(in the burbs only). But downtown they festivals in hart plaza in downtown Detroit that's cool there's alot of things to do just depends on what you like. I don't like Chicago I mean I visit cuz i have family there but I wouldn't wanna live there, that place is crazy.

Grew up in Detroit. The city has a bad rap and because it is such a huge city it has good and bad parts. Anything near downtown or Northland Mall is bad.
Other cities near Detroit such as Southfield, Farmington, Novi, West Bloomfield, Livonia, etc, etc. are far better.
Detroit is mainly known for the automotive and currently unemployment.

greek town in detroit is an awsome place to visit. the streets are always alive on the weekends. the food is great and i love the atmophere. i live in the suburbs, and visit downtown every now and then. i've always loved greek town. it's just a fun place to be. i would never live in the city because the taxes are supposedly pretty expensive, and the school are for sh**.

If you want to live in Detroit, the best place to live would be greektown or Midtown. Google them, they are pretty nice neighborhoods.

In Detroit, we've got the Tigers and the Lions (who SUCK!) and you'll probably get mugged or shot.
I rather like Chicago...
