Tour Detroit's "good, bad, and hopeful" sides

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

The big secret about Detroit is there's a lot of fun stuff going on, despite the blight. They're just not what you would call "typical tourist attractions."

Great music scene, pretty good local arts scene, interesting characters. Heck, even the abandoned buildings can be pretty cool...the old train station in Katie's photo above is AMAZING to see up close.

Happy to see somebody is putting a positive spin on things. Everyone agrees Detroit is in bad shape, but it's only by getting past our perceptions of what the city was that Detroit is ever going to be something new. And it does have the potential despite what some will tell you when you watch the news.
