There are very few streets in America with a reputation like Detroit's infamous 8 Mile Road. From news reports to rumors, there are endless misleading stories about this 20+ mile long strip of pavement. Today we start at the east end of 8 Mile and spend the entire day stopping along different neighborhoods, businesses, and properties to show THE REAL SIDE of 8 Mile.

I'm from Windsor and the limited time I've driven down the length of 8 mile I can tell you it's like 20 different neighborhoods from one end to the other

My Camaro broke down in Detroit today. A nice guy stopped and tried to give me a jump. But, my car was dead. He hung out with me while I waited for the tow truck and we talked Tigers and Lions. I’m white and he was black. But, we are simply bros now. Be good to each other

It’s ironic that the most inhospitable part of 8 mile, the part where you couldn’t even film because you weren’t comfortable there, was the rural part outside of Detroit.

That's what people don't realize about cities. You could be walking 10min in a rough neighborhood then walk another 10min, turn onto another street and you'll end up in a hidden nice street block. I live in a downtown area in a major city in N. America and my walk is exactly like that. There's nice blocks and bad blocks then past a bad stretch of blocks there's an exclusive neighborhood.

I grew up at 8 mile and Beck in Northville and I love to joke that I “grew up on 8 mile” to non locals and often get the “omg like Eminem?!”. I’m like sure yep Northville / Detroit like same same. But great video and good showing just how wide the range of 8 mile / Base Line Rd. is!

LOL. I've lived on 8 MIle for the past 33 years (2 different places.) I love my 8 Mile address. I have never thought of it as dangerous.

I grew up in East Detroit, a suburb of Detroit, but they changed the city name to Eastpointe in the early 90's, in an effort to link themselves to the "old money" of Grosse Pointe. It didn't work! I have very fond memories of 8 mile Road, including fireworks displays and oval track car racing.

It's crazy to look at the Detroit area on Google maps. You see all this green that looks like designated parks. And then you scroll in and see all the streets, and you realize all of that used to be houses

My husband grew up in Detroit and he would always say you can’t get lost just get on one of the Mile roads and you can always get back home. While living there I basically stayed off the interstate and took the surface street.

Driving from one end of 8 mile to the other gives you a sense of just how big the City of Detroit proper actually is. On one side is Eastpointe, the other side Detroit. Then Warren and on the other side Detroit, Hazel Park, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Southfield, all the while on the other side, Detroit. There are even two separate cities INSIDE Detroit (Highland Park and Hamtramck).

I grew up right at the corner of 8 Mile/Spencer/Marshall.

My ancestors cleared and farmed land beginning in 1820, that part of much later became Baseline Road (used by surveyors) then changed to East 8 Mile. Northeast Detroit was called Conner Creek. They also built a log church in the woods that burned down, was rebuilt with brick, and eventuaĺly came to be called Assumption Grotto by the early 1900s. It is still in operation to this day, AFAIK. Many died of consumption (tuberculosis) and are buried in a small cemetery behind the church.

The part of 8 Mile where it sprawls into Wisconsin is really nice.

When I think of eight mile, I actually think of hazel park. Somebody I used to work with. We would go to a scrapyard right on eight mile in hazel park.That's what I think of, also, there's a little diner dress right around the corner.Also in hazel park

If you start counting 8 mile beginning at Lake Saint Clair, it’s actually 44 miles long!

This was a nice video. It really did show growth and rejuvenation of this city. The people are what is making tge difference. The mansion is beautiful. Detroit went way down but, it is coming back. TY for showing this video. 🤗🤗
