In September 2002, I made my first journey to downtown Detroit and the city, in fact, and actually visiting, not passing by on the Ambassador Bridge or I-94 or I-75. It didn't look as bad as I thought, amazingly, but it seemed quiet then, because nothing was going on, however, things have changed since then, and it is getting better. Those photos were taken with a disposable, so, they are slightly out of date. These photos were a LONG time coming. I ignored most of the run down places, and gathered some of the city's beauty and history.
The Opera House, I saw Bill Cosby there last year
I was caught on by that mural on the Broderick Tower
Comerica Park
Ford Field
Little Gem Theatre
Beautiful Garden in the Gem Theatre
Fox Theatre, seen Jerry Seinfeld here, beautiful theatre as is the Opera House
Hockeytown Cafe
Looking @ I-75
Looking south on Woodward Ave.
Beautiful Fountain, Grand Circus Park
Looking up at the Penobscot Building...
RenCen
Looking across to Windsor, Ontario...
Looking at the sun and the Ambassador Bridge
Joe Louis Arena
RenCen, with Detroit's very nice waterfront path, be even nicer when its complete from Belle Isle to the Ambassador Bridge.
Beautiful shot of Detroit's CBD with Hart Plaza, IMO
Looking @ the tunnel.
Here's some pics of Windsor just for the heck of it...
Hope you enjoyed my first phototour of Detroit, have a couple more coming very soon!
