Grew up in Chicago and spent summers with my grandparents in Detroit. Like Chicago as I come alive in the city environment. Detroit isn’t as big or as colorfully cultural as Chicago. Detroit also has been in economic decline for some time. I did enjoy the trips to the cabin in Michigan when I was young. My family had a cabin in the woods with a small fishing boat docked in the lake. Michigan overall has more woods, rivers, lakes, along with more sporting areas.
Chicago is everything Detroit has always wanted to be but has failed to be. Overall the layout of both cities is pretty close to the same and both cities have older buildings throughout the city but Chicago is bigger than Detroit and has done a much better job of keeping a dense population in the inner city where Detroit has lost people and has crime just about everywhere in the city, Chicago has been able to keep crime rates down in the neighborhoods away from downtown, Chicago is more centralized than Detroit, the crime in Chicago is far enough away from the dotwntown area and now that Cabrini Green is gone that area has cleaned up, Chicago is a big major city, Detroit doesn't function like a major city at all.
