Elmore Leonard once wrote "There are cities that get by on their good looks, offer climate and scenery, views of mountains or oceans, rockbound or with palm trees. And there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living." If there's anything that embodies The Motor City, it's a tireless work ethic. Detroiters are a resilient people, building the city into a manufacturing giant in the 20th century and keeping it rocking even in the face of an economic downturn.
The hard work of this city of 681,090 is evident in everything it does, from being a pioneer in automobiles to becoming a mecca of music, sports and movies. While this city has faced its share of challenges in recent decades, it has a fighting spirit that echoes Joe Louis, one of the city's most famous residents. So check out "The D."
