This link will give you an idea..and an entree of other Detroit Urban Decay videos..be sure to provide LOTS of Security..people have been known to be killed while visiting cemeteries and robbed at funerals...U would probably do better to make a post apocalyptic series there..if U have not been there you will be shocked..
Be sure to check out the Henry Ford Museum in Dear born and get some of the best Kielbasas made by Kowalski's..also the Eastern Market..(which is like LA's Grand Central) if it is still there, Greek Town....Port Huron north up into the thumb is nice..I used to stay in Port Sanilac at a B&B there...Frankenmuth is MI version of Solvang..

Be sure to report back to us..to let us know that you are safe. LOL
It would be a good idea for your production people to stay outside of Detroit for lodging...
