Wahlberg said his wife figured there would be nothing to do and nothing worth seeing, especially since the city had recently filed for bankruptcy. "I said no actually, it's really nice and they came and they had a blast," Wahlberg said.
He called Detroit, "a great, great city" and said he hopes people will continue to bring new business there and to continue helping the economy.
"I love the city and hopefully they will turn it around ," Wahlberg said.
