9. Detroit, Michigan
Formerly known as the Motor City, which was an incredibly prosperous place to live in the 70s when GM dominated Detroit’s jobs and economy, it’s hard to think of this city nowadays as a destination to travel to. Detroit’s economy is only now recovering from its devastating blow several decades ago and its streets are lined with abandoned homes and factories, faded from their former glory. However, this place is paradise for anybody who loves to explore urban decay . It’s also a great place for sports lovers, boasts an incredible yearly Jazz Festival, is home to the Motown museum and has an incredible Greektown. Check out the Heidelberg Project, a small neighborhood filled with tons of street art meant to represent Detroit’s rebirth.
