City Of Hamtramck : Michigan, Detroit can learn something here.

Detroit can learn something here.

For those who don't know, Hamtramck is a small city surrounded by Detroit. It has the same economic challenges and crime problems that Detroit has.

But unlike Detroit, most merchants have armed themselves and instead of 30 min - two hour response time for police calls, Hamtramck averages a 30 second response time.
See what happens below when an armed robbery takes place.

The problem is, who wants to live in a place which has so much crime that there are regular robberies and shootings? Regardless of who "wins."

So, where will this mortuary be? If you are afraid to tell us where you are, how can we possibly patronize your establishment?

Is that an infraction I see?

I worked for a great guy a long time ago that grew up in Hamtramck. He described it as a miserable place to grow up in, but he brought a few lifelong friends from there and they were all great guys and all were extremely successful. Those guys were such good people that it made me have doubts about Hamtramck being such a miserable place.
