Fly from Dallas to Detroit

Detroit is a mid-sized city that’s the largest in Michigan and on the border between the United States and Canada. This capital of the automotive industry experienced a decline in the latter half of the 20th century but has recently sprung back with a renaissance of urban development. A dramatic drop in population led to vacant buildings and reduced city services, but residents have counteracted this with a thriving urban gardening scene and renovations of historic buildings. One of the most noted improvements are the all-LED street lights, of which Detroit is the largest city in the United States to have.
