Downtown has some nice restaurants but the traffic and parking is horrendous. Plus you have to drive thru any given war zone to get there. Except for hockey, there is nothing downtown that you can't find in the more upscale cities like Troy or Birmingham anyway.....
This winter's Super Bowl is going to be fun to watch. Who the hell wants to walk around downtown Detroit in the middle of the winter? I suspect most of the people coming to town will be staying in the suburbs anyway. A super bowl in Miami is a hell of a lot more attractive than a super bowl in downtown Detroit...........
Knowing our luck, we just know that this is going to be the year, because I have always asked, Who the heck wants to visit DETROIT?
