Why Detroit? Week Two

    Could you please fix the volume on these videos. On each one of them, I have to crank the volume on my computer and speakers all the way up just to hear it at a normal level. And no, I'm not that old. Thanks.

    If we can't hear, how are we able to listen?

    I appreciate you trying to "fix" Detroit. However, you come from the wrong background.

    Detroit is not Hip or cool like Brooklyn, NY or Ukrainian Village, Chicago.

    Go back wherever you came from before you are hurt.

    I'm also curious, what kind of work do you do for income?

      dude, Ukie village is decidedly not hip or cool.

      What might the "right" background be?

    Very honest. Lots of growth in six months.
