You are not a Detroiter until you've been inside the Guardian Building's main promenade at least once. This building is truly a monument to Detroit and to 20th century art deco architecture.
Seriously, words cannot even begin to explain the beauty of this building.

Sweet Jesus I love this diner!
Louie's serves as the living room where my urban family gathers to eat and to discuss our complicated lives. We might be a mess, but the food sure isn't. Everything any of us has ever tried in the scores of times we have eaten here has been delicious. Known for their corned beef, they also serve delectable salads and breakfasts. Louie's is always busy, but a good busy that provides a cozy buzz around your booth. Waitresses are friendly and prices very reasonable.
Oh for a thousand tongues to sing this excellent diner's praises! (If I had a thousand tongues, they would all be licking my plate at Louie's).
P.S. Louie's is within walking distance of Eastern Market.

First off, let me say that if you are looking for new or recently published books or anything hip or trendy then you will hate John King Books. John King Book is first and foremost a used and collectible books dealer. Man does he have a lot of them!
John King Books is located in an old glove factory just west of downtown Detroit on Lafayette (not far from the Post Office). There isn't a whole lot of parking, but there is a small lot to the side of the building and is accessible to customers.
This place probably has more books than the entire Detroit Public Library System. It's huge. All four floors of the factory are stuffed with all sorts of collectible and used books organized in a fairly easy to navigate fashion. No matter what topic, I'm sure you can find at least a dozen books on it. They even had a category for Beanie Baby books, among all things! They have a vast collection of classic novels and textbooks to sort through.
I have never left John King Books without spending at least 30 bucks and getting half a dozen high quality books.

Back in the 70's noone was allowed to change my radio station. It was forever set on 93.1 as I favored WDRQ the music world of J. Geils Band,
The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and BTO! I found out just today that DougFM is WDRQ so perhaps it's not a bit surprizing the fond affair I have
with this particular station. It's not just hard rock or classic rock but also
carries the more mellow tunes that we women enjoy listening to. The station itself, is located downtown
Detroit by the Ren Center.

The other alternative to getting to Canada (the country) without taking the tunnel.
The ambassador bridge is huge and sturdy, no need to worry but it takes awhile
to get across espeically during rush hour. Lots of canadians work in Detroit and
vice versa so it might take a while. A beautiful view below but if I have a choice,
I always opt for the tunnel. To me, it could be an illusion but it does seem to
go faster.

Bookies is one of my favorite downtown watering holes coming in a close second behind the Old Shillelagh on Monroe. Bookies is always very clean and very well kept and they have a great selection of drinks on tap. The employees are always super nice and the crowd is usually somewhat diverse.
In the summer this is one of my favorite places to drink - especially sitting outside on the patio - you have a great view of the city and good food and drinks.
