*Q: Who Wants To Come To Downtown Detroit?*

Michi · December 18th, 2005, 01:54 AM

What's that?

Calling your name.

Come closer...

Walk on over.

Or drive...

Night or day.

Black or white.

David Stott lives here.

With distinguished neighbors.

Read up on the Book Tower.

Light a Christmas Tree.

Celebrate a festival.

Look up.

Drop a bomb.

Make a point.

The colors of ineffective transit.

The colors of a night time skyline.

G'night, my friend.

Architecture of twilight.

Bring it back.

Gone home.

Waiting for day.

Rest well, Rosa Parks.

Bring em back.

For a ballgame.

Or a convention.

Treetops.

Canyons.

Old mountains.

Windows.

Grit.

Friends.

Buildings.

9-to-5ers.

Sweep a street.

Eye a chick.

Walk the walk.

See a sight.

Make a scene.

Young and old.

River scenes.

A would-be "Gold Coast".

Commie blocks.

The Kean Building.

For racing.

Or for pleasure.

An international metropolis.

Joined at the hip.

Not your father's dock.

Aquatic hues of blue.

The "other" side.

Residing on the water.

Make love.

Or beer.

Romance.

Enjoy a park.

Hang with friends.

Be a hippy.

Something about beaks?

City or forest...which is it?

?

Huh?

The big hood.

Patriotism.

More questions.

Even more bags.

Who wants to come to downtown Detroit?

We'll die without you.

So, join hands.

Question the city.

And the hair.

And the little dog, too.

Reclaiming the music city.

And the alley.

Pick a bead.

Have a beer with friends.

Catch up with "tha fellas".

Coleman's dead.

DETROIT: Check it out.

It's sweet, dude.

Just ask this guy.

It's not a dream.

It's that place.

Of man and machine.

And architects of yesteryear.

And good dining.

And nice nights.

And great daddy-o's.

Well wishers.

Hopers and prayers.

New night lighters.

And temporary ones.

Make a wish.

Tripple sowchow.

Christmas time is here.

Kick the Wolverine.

It's all about the heritage.

So, will you come to downtown Detroit?

very nice

james2390 · December 18th, 2005, 03:02 AM

Amazing pictures! The captions are almost as good.

Nick in Atlanta · December 18th, 2005, 03:19 AM

Wow, 115+ pics. I stopped the downloading as soon as I saw that. The few pics I did download looked pretty good, but all were of really old buildings.

Maybe you could lower the number of pics by 100 or so. I've got broadband, but it's still very slow. I would like to see some of your top pics of Downtown Detroit though.

DecoJim · December 18th, 2005, 03:44 AM

Impressive pictures of the positive side of Detroit. The night pictures are especially good. I do go downtown but mainly for the architecture and the museums. Detroit needs more events and entertainment. Downtown is a lot better than just five years ago.

cmoonflyer · December 18th, 2005, 04:17 AM

Nice shots

antonyj11 · December 18th, 2005, 05:01 AM
