Greetings:
Other than United Sound, Tera Shirma, or GM, I'd like to know what were the other recording studio powerhouses that Detroit had--besides Sound Suite, Pac-3 in Dearborn, Pearl in Canton, etc. And does anybody still know anything about Cloud Bourne in Grosse Pointe?
Since United Sound is across from Wayne State University (although I have NEVER been to Detroit yet, but I'd love to own the place myself now), is the neighborhood around consider as the same as the Tenderloin in San Francisco?...(Hyde St. Studios + Hastings College of Law--how the irony up here) Very bad?
As I had stated that if I'd own 5840 2nd, technically, it would be something unique for any midwestern recording studio. Did a (modified) Trident TSM ever exist in Chicago or Detroit?
My pity goes to Don Davis for putting this landmark (circa 1933/post 1971) to total neglect, as well as the editors of Mix and Pro Sound News for snubbing Detroit's studio scene in recent times. Then again, New orleans faltered on the same ranks as Detroit... A blind eye and a deaf ear.

DLM,
The area around United Sound isn't that bad -- it's in the New Center, near where General Motors' world headquarters was from 1920 until just a few years ago.
You have to take the normal urban precautions with your car/house/person, but other than that, no sweat.
