There really isn't a 'South Detroit' that I know of except a restaurant. Steve Perry explained this in an interview a couple of years ago. It's my favorite line though!

That is true...but we took it as a Detroit shout out. There is a "Down River" Detroit and an East and West but no South, but we didn't hold it against Steve- ha
Oh no, it's 100% a Detroit shout out! The best! I think my next favorite is is Huey Lewis' 'Dee Troit!' In Heart of Rock n roll.
Steve is the man, I didn't hold it against him either.
