Melvindale, MI: The Attractions Are The Best Thing About Melvindale 2 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) It's a sad day when you have to admit that the best thing about the town you live in is the nearby entertainment. When there's nothing to recommend an entire town, well, one might want to think twice about continuing to live there. That's pretty much where I am living here in Mel ...Read More vindale, Michigan. I have been living in Melvindale for 2 years now and I have patiently waited to see some positive changes in my town. I've come to the realization that it just isn't going to happen. The crime rate is going to continue to climb, the schools are going to continue to suffer, the entire place should be much more presentable and respectable than it is.


At least we have a few attractions to boast of. We have the Motown Historical Museum, Detroit Rocks City tours, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Experience Factory which is an interactive experience for kids, and we have the Melvindale Street Fair which, though small, is enjoyable. While Melvindale certainly isn't one of the worst areas in Michigan, it certainly isn't one of the best areas in Michigan either. Just skip this sad experience altogether if you're looking for a great place to live. Read Less
