The Positive Look.

The youth of Downriver typically says, " I hate Downriver; there's nothing to do here." Well this could be considered to be a bad thing. However, Downriver has plenty of good to offer. The most important is the fact that nothing bad ever happens here. The police blotter typically consists of just juvenile members of the community committing misdemeanors like penny theft. This makes the members of the community feel safe. Another quality aspect of Downriver is the tightly knitted communities. It is safe to say, " Everyone knows everyone." The reason is because each city has strong interaction with each other, and many members of the community are from here. Building on this idea, the individual city pride is extremely strong. As a former athlete at Trenton High School, nothing was better than suiting up and playing a neighboring city. It was awesome to practice all week focusing on being the superior city of Downriver. High school sports is one of the best parts of Downriver is without a doubt; it is a tradition that is passed down from the older members of the community to the younger ones. I remember selling various goodies or boosters for my sports teams. This was an exciting experience going door to door. The reason is because of all the stories to be told. It was always so great to hear, "You're here with the football team, I was a captain of the 1974 team." It was moments like that which made me feel proud of what I was doing. Summing up Downriver, it is a truly great community because of its safety, tradition, and interaction with each city.
