According to this article, Detroit is the most deadly big city for pedestrians. If it's like other major metropolitan areas, it probably lacks adequate sidewalks and crosswalks. The streets are probably wider than usual to mitigate congestion produced by urban sprawl.

To add to the city's woes, at the start of play tonight, the Detroit Tigers have one win and sixteen losses. It's the worst start for any team in eleven years. If this keeps up, will they just send the entire team back to the minors?

So if you like walking or baseball, you probably want to postpone visiting Detroit, at least for a little while.
