    Bulletproof glass in a McD means they probably got robbed a lot.
    Omg, it's a good thing you didn't linger too long there bc when you were going around the back, it looked like there was some one with a white bag moving left towards the door, trying not to get seen in the dumping area. There probably was someone staying there. They may have gotten in from the roof. That could explain why that door was open and why all of that stuff that looks like personal stuff was in there. Be careful friend.

    Hi Wallie,
    Welcome to Detroit!
    Just, recently and Burger King 🤴 and McDonald's have been Closing Restaurants Permanently in the inner city of Detroit. This, McDonald's location Dexter and Linwood,is in the lower Westside of Detroit. That's a rough area of Detroit. Besides, the inner city Fast Food Restaurants have Bullet Proof Windows, just like the Banks,have Bullet Proof Windows.
    I,even remember the 1967,Riots on Detroit's Lower Westside.

    There was a McDonald's on a cut through on my way to work that closed during COVID. It's in a bad area and about a month after they closed all the boards were ripped off (all windows and doors were boarded up originally) it's covered in graffiti. It looked so gutted, it was insane. I haven't driven past it recently but wouldn't be surprised if it was torn down or torched down at this point. It was really wild to see.

    A lot of stores have bullet proof glass in Detroit. What area was that, the crossroads? Depending on exactly where you were it might’ve been better or worse than you think. Most of the people in Detroit are great people just living their lives but the criminals give zero Fs and most of us don’t like tourists, it’s extremely common for people from the surrounding suburbs to drive through just to see the “bad areas” and nobody likes being looked down at. It sounds ridiculous unless you’ve experienced it.

    • @WallieB26
      @WallieB26  13 дней назад +2

      No I completely understand that. That's why I tried explaining that in the video near the end. It's a shame that a few bad people ruin places for others who are just living life and trying to do their best.

      I was in a few nice areas. I do generally like it up there. It's just... some of the ways maps has me travel to get from point A to point B was questionable.

    The only reason I can think of that McDonald's closed that restaurant is its located in a very bad neighborhood. That happened many years ago to an Arby's restaurant in Youngstown, Ohio, on Market Street. Arby's on Market Street was located in a very bad area of the South side of Youngstown, so they closed it

    I live near it and to be honest, the service was terrible. Several times they had no fries.

    Welcome to Detroit. There are multiple abandoned McDonald's, and Burger Kings. Just hope that wasn't the Murder Mac.
