A week in Detroit
Monday, and I am packing up to leave Detroit and head for Minnesota. After spending a week in the Detroit area, my impression is considerably more favorable than you might expect. Suburban Detroit is upscale with large green areas. Downtown is cleaner and better looking than you may have heard. The city is suffering a serious lack of money, and is close to bankrupt. Nevertheless, they have great museums and summer activities. People who come here temporarily, tend to stay permanently. Many people questioned why I wanted to visit Detroit when I announced my plans to come here. I am a car buff, and I wanted to visit the auto museums.
