Re: Visiting Detroit
Oh hell, then I was soooo close to it when I was there two summers ago, wandering around Campus Martius Park and the Guardian Building. Thanks for the location, Eric. And welcome to Swirl!

Re: Visiting Detroit
The Marche du Nain Rouge looks like a heckuva fun time that's also nicely symbolic of Detroit's attitude-- http://blog.visitdetroit.com/entry/detr ... rouge.html Definitely going on my list of things to do someday.

Re: Visiting Detroit
If you're looking for a hotel NOT to stay in, I highly recommend the Roberts Riverwalk. If you're into dark, sketchy parking lots, people running around the lobby and halls at midnight, and broken locks on the doors, then it's the place for you.

Re: Visiting Detroit
Anyone else have any additional things to add to this?
Tops for me would be if anyone knows of a good arcade bar?

I've got a bunch of things I've added to my own list, but an arcade bar isn't one of them. Would fowling do instead?

Fowling is a combination of football and bowling that is more fun than I expected it to be-- http://fowlingwarehouse.com/index.html
