I took a free tour of the Renaissance Center, which includes a visit to the Coach Insignia restaurant on the top floor. We walked around the circumference of the building just below the GM sign.

Here are some views from 72/F. Too bad we couldn't go one floor below so I could take better pictures right by the glass. Perhaps if I were dressed a bit better that day I could've stayed for dinner.

I notice a lot of spiders hanging outside along the windows. You can see them in a lot of the photos. I wonder how they can survive. It must be quite windy up there!

Belle Isle towards the east :
