Sad and wonderful by sipes23

I was in downtown Detroit twice this year, and it is the saddest place in the United States. It is the symbol of the economic hollowing of industrial America.

But it is also so much more wonderful and complicated than that. There is a friendly congregation at the Mariners’ Church. There’s a hopping ethnic neighborhood at Greektown. There are urban plazas. There are buildings on the way down, and those on the way up. There are sports and casinos. There’s no shortage of interesting things to see and do, but there is also the reminder of what used to be.

I’m looking forward to going again.

Try to avoid valet parking if possible. Even places that don’t charge for valet really are not worth it, as it takes them forever to retrieve your car. Better to leave your vehicle in a parking garage and then walk or take the people mover throughout the downtown area.

Anytime you’re in downtown Detroit, park at the Greektown Casino and use the people mover to get to Hart Plaza, The Joe, Cobo, etc. It’s silly to pay for parking when it’s free if you go into the casino and get validated.

Put that money in your gas tank, Motown!
