I was born in Detroit Michigan. Detroit was the city where Henry Ford lived and in 1896 he was the one that built the first car. Detroit was the first city to have a traffic light, the first place to have a undergorund tunnel between 2 nations (the Detroit-Windsor tunnel), the first place to have a freeway, and also the first place to have a mile of paved road.  Famous people that came out of Detroit are director France Ford, Coppola, aviator Charles A.
