- In this video, Eddy takes you on a journey across Detroit from the west side (Rosedale Park) to the east side (East English Village) via bus, providing a firsthand account of the City's public transit system. Starting his trip to check on an $8.2 million mixed-use development project, he shares the experience of taking three buses, interacting with the surroundings, and discussing the state of the city's infrastructure and services. He emphasizes the affordability and utility of the bus system despite its lesser attention in the Motor City, known for its automotive industry.
Along the way, he assesses the conditions of various bus stops, and delves into the broader implications of urban transit and cityscape, particularly discussing the blight in commercial areas. Ultimately, Eddie concludes the trip, underscoring the value and ease of public transportation for City dwellers, along with its importance to urban living.
We end the video with an introduction to Jeffrey Gisstennar, a real estate broker turned bakery owner, who narrates his journey of starting Good Cookies in Detroit's North Rosedale Park. Jeffrey recounts the early days when he baked to alleviate stress from the real estate market crash. As his baking improved, his wife encouraged him to monetize his talent, leading to an increasing local demand for his cookies. He experimented with recipes and gained a clientele including the UAW and the City of Detroit. After hosting a successful tasting event, he officially launched Good Cookies. Despite initial reluctance, Jeffrey decided to open a brick-and-mortar location, driven by the idea of ownership instilled in his clients. He narrates the challenging yet rewarding process of finding and renovating a suitable location, encountering setbacks and opportunities, including winning the Detroit Motor City Match Grant. Jeffrey's story is a testament to resilience, community, and the sweet success of following one's passion.

Thank you for shinning a light on our beautiful city
More of our representatives should do this. I know it seems like such a little thing to take the bus to a new development but you're straight up seeing what it will be like for someone who has to live there to just get around without a car. Anything that is pro public transport is pro people (and also cars if you like less traffic).
Thank you for this video. The city needs more videos such as this for exposure. Excellent highlights!
I’ve seen one of your other videos you were on the roof I believe installing air conditioning units at least someone had been while you were there …. This JUST SIT ON IT sounds like a FANTASTIC idea and a GOID PLACE to give a donation… something that can be used by ANY CITIZEN of Detroit. Hopefully it is still in operation . Even though I don’t ride public transportation I think it’s heart warming to see a Man/person and in the city of Detroit ( the MOTOR CITY) using public transportation to get to work especially , I would assume that this is by CHOICE 🤔 I could be wrong all the same HIGHLY UNUSUAL
Thanks for the tour of Detroit. John from Chicago. I rides Metra South shore line trains Cta bus and L trains and the Pace suburban bus system. All are great systems. Thank you for highlighting black own businesses in Detroit. When in Detroit I have to check this bakery out.😊
Just discovered this RUclips channel today and subscribed! Echoing everyone's comments on how great your content is. Love seeing Detroit public transit in action and firsthand experiences! Looking forward to watching more from you all!
This is some mad good energy, excited to see this video on my feed, best of luck with the further development of your property!
The Bus service here needs improvement, most on the Buses are kinda clean ,they need more covered bus stops with seats for older people like myself, and to have police patrol the areas around the stops more,I know a older man that was attacked by a couple at a bus stop.thankfully he wasn't hurt to bad,but he's a heart patient. IT'S A sad state when U have people attacking the elderly people that can't fight back.!BE SAFE OUTSIDE YOUNGMAN .
Glad to see folks rebuilding that stretch of E. Warren (grew up on Devonshire and Yorkshire), please keep up the good work. It's nice to see the City putting more money into more neighborhoods outside of downtown. The three "Training Coaches" after your eloquent speech about DDOT brought a tear and a laugh, but the two "Not In Service" while waiting for the Crosstown was a stab to the heart. DDOT system - Easy to use, Yes; Inexpensive, Yes; On-time, oh no no no 🥶🥶🥶
Great video!
Just rolled past there 5 minutes ago 🔥
Let's take the bus together. This isn't a real betray of daily occurrence of Detroit bus takers. Everything you said is actually not true. The on time rate is 49%, the app is 70% accurate. Take the bus more then give me a video. You are right about the ease and how inexpensive it is.
I used to live on Vandyke and Clairmount
Thanks for video
💯
I love riding the bus! I'm currently in search of my first commercial property to develop. I just found your channel; thank you for sharing your journey!
I’ve haven’t seen a completely wooden framed commercial real estate project that size.. even the stairwells, didn’t even know that was a thing considering fires?
Man I pass that cookie place ask the time I gotta try it
🙌🙌
💪
boy the sidewalk are in terrible shape,
Dude be careful at those shitty bus stops! The areas you were in is extremely cutthroat! Much as you tried to give transit a good name, DDOT IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST! You are a jewel here be safe
Thanks for putting me onto the cookies 🫡
