1 - Something broken beyond repair.

2 - When sections of a city are closed off and then leveled.

A city that sucks cause the mayor blows the city's funds on his new escalade, his parties, and his bail money to get out of jail!

Detroit is also known has: Hell Headquarters. Detroit is often called ghetto and shot up, but is actually gutter and run down. I live there so I've earned the right to call it shit-central but I live there so I earned the right to cap on it. This city is resident evil apocalypse waiting to happen... well just the bomb part.
This is also the place where the final battle between good and evil will take place.
Detroit-er: I'll shoot you all
L.A-er: Yeah, Well, I'll take a contract out on you.
Brooklyn-er: You fuckers are worse then Jersey.

Known as the "Murder City." Previously known as the "Motor City."
Years ago, Detroit used to be a booming town with automotive factories all around it. Detroit was nick named, the "Motor" City. Now, there are maybe but a few plants that are operating & still building cars. The murder rate in Detroit is so much higher & now it is known as the "Murder" City.
