Is there anything to do in Detroit?

I would like to visit Detroit someday (that's one of the few spots in America that I have not yet seen), but I want to know what would be my purpose of visit. I heard that every year they have a big Techon festival. But there's gotta be more things to do than that. Any suggestions would be fine. nod

Oh, come on, they have that everywhere in America. I'm talking about something in Detroit that other cities probably don't have.

White Castle's is not everywhere. If they were I would be there now! The frozen version does not count. Other than going to Marshal Mathers house I have no clue. Sorry....

DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR YOU BLOW THRU. SUMMERTIME IS THE BEST TIME TO COME PERSONALLY. THEY JUST OPEN A RIVER BOAT CALLED THE DETROIT PRINCESS, AND IT WAS ON POINT! THERE'S ALWAYS A CONCERT GOING ON, ESP A CHENE PARK IT'S A OUTDOOR ARENA ON THE DETROIT RIVER ALWAYS A NICE AMBIENCE. THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND HOST THE DETROIT FOOTBALL CLASSIC WHEN THEY HAVE BLACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME AND OF COURSE A BATTLE OF THE BANDS AND THE LEGENDS OF HIP HOP CONCERT AT CHENE PARK, WHICH WE TAILGATE AND GET TWISTED SOMETHING FIERCE! blunt absolut stoned martini beer drink

THERE'S ALSO THE CASINO, PLENTY OF FESTIVALS GOING ON SOMEWHERE FROM PONTIAC TO ANN ARBOR TO DOWNTOWN DETROIT. I THING THAT I FOUND OUT FROM OUR PAST FAMILY REUNIONS IS THAT THEY LOVE BELLE ISLE!(MY FELLOW DETROITERS KNOW WHAT I MEAN BY THAT giggle). AS FAR AS THE WINTER, AGAIN PLENTY OF CONCERTS AND CABARETS. LOOK ME UP IF YOU COME THRU lol
