Motor City hospitality will bowl over Pittsburghers By Marisol Bello FOR THE TRIBUNE-REVIE Monday, January 30, 2006
DETROIT - Steelers fans taking a road trip to Detroit for Super Bowl XL can expect a pedestrian's paradise: a downtown buzzing with excitement, busy stores and restaurants, a street scene full of festivals, parties, ice sculptures and -- weather permitting -- even dog sledding.
OK, it ain't the real Detroit. Any other time, a pedestrian in the Motor City is about as rare as a Cowboys fan in Pittsburgh. But it is representative of the changes in place this week for guests coming downtown. They're closing off streets, for crying out loud. They're encouraging people to walk.
Next thing you know they'll be telling people to root for Ohio State.

You are doing really well here if you walk through downtown without being shot.
Have you ever been downtown Detroit? The areas of sports, theaters, and Greektown are quite safe and fun.

I also must question which area of Downriver you are discussing. Also,I take back earlier post asking if you had been to Detroit, you explained in subsequent posts. Cheers, Moleman
