This non-profit organization provides the best tours of Detroit, hands down.
Every weekend their tour changes to ones such as the Skyscraper Tour, and Eastern Market Tour.
The price is quite good and helps ensure preservation of the buildings in Detroit.
Tour guides are friendly and informative. Groups are very very small.
The tour is great detailing all the information about the buildings.
All tours are walking tours.

We take pride in our sports teams which is quite evident in this new home for the
Lions. Nothing but the best is made obvious by this massive arena for games
and musicians. No doubt this would be the best spot for Superbowl and detroiters
were quite pleased for all the attention it would receive. I just get a wee bit discontented with the parking fees but outside of that it is far nicer than what could
be put into words.

I can't get enough of the museum and village, I will admit the village has, and always will be, my favorite. I like watching the actors do their acts in the small buildings, and especially walk through the exhibits like the Edison's lab!

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.

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.

GREAT ortho practice! My son just broke his left wrist over the weekend. He went to see them today and I was quite happy with the service I received. The doctor I saw was Dr. James Lee at this practice. He is their pediatric ortho. They also have a hand and wrist doc, Dr. Dietz, as well as a knee doc, Dr. Perry, and a foot doc. Each doc seems to specialize in something particular. I called at 9 a.m. and we were there at 1 p.m. My son was casted about 1:20 and it took about 15 minutes. Very simple. The staff was very nice, also.
Parking is plenty, since this practice is located at St. John Hospital and you can use the structure or park behind the hospital or utilize valet. Since we had a visit to them, they do cover the charge for parking in the structure or behind the hospital.
We only waited 15 minutes to get called back, 10 min. for the doc to come in and talk to us and then the 15 min. for my son's casting. I wish all that time had moved quicker but that is my only complaint!

Vicente's Cuban Cuisine is one of the gems of the recent Downtown Detroit revival. It's snuggled on Library Street, across the street of the Skillman Branch of the public library by the old Hudsons' Building. Parking isn't too bad - you can park in the lot next door, on Broadway and walk a block, or in the Opera House Parking Garage (which is a block away).
The decor inside of Vicente's is simple but perfect - not too overdone, like many ethnic restaurants, but not too simple, like many modern upscale restaurants. The waitstaff is very friendly and the manager can usually be seen running around, greeting patrons, and opening the door for customers. There is a coatroom by the front door for the winter months.
The food is simply amazing. I prefer the Ropa Vieja or the trout dish, whose name I cannot remember. The drinks (specifically the Mojitos) are to die for. I simply cannot explain it - it's delicious.
You simply cannot enjoy fine dining in Metro Detroit until you've been to Vicente's Cuban Cuisine downtown.

I used these guys a few months ago for a small flood problem and they did such a great job -- If any other flood damages happen, they'll be my first call if anything happens!
