where I'm from

Detroit Michigan is the city and state.
Detroit known as the motor city, smog and carbon dioxide hazily lay across intersections where buses and people congregate.
Storefronts that used to be alive are now boarded up memories of a more prosperous time.
Six lanes of traffic don't stop kids from jutting out in front of oncoming coughing cars. there are bars on windows and even the convenience store uses bullet proof glass. They slide your purchases of purple punch to you through a turn-style of plexiglass that is meant to keep them safe.
as far as the eye can see there are for sales signs dotting the landscape mixed with people perspiring as they push lawn mowers in order to get ready for the next yard sale.
