More Detroit



The "Ren Cen"--cluster of sky scrapers, including GM--blurry from the bus.

The Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament--Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit.

The Heidelberg Project by Tyree Guyton...one of the most interesting parts...bizarre and overwhelming...for more information go to heidelberg.org.

The 8 Mile soundtrack would probably be appropriate background music for this trip of yours.

Yes...frankly I would not visit most of those neighborhoods alone. The elderly professor who was guiding the tour kept making references to Eminem--it was cute.

Evidently Eminem's producers wanted to burn down a house in Detroit, but the City thought this would give them a bad image, so one of the neighboring towns let them if they would build two new ones to replace it.

We also passed a steel mill where he performed some obscene act or other--I haven't degraded myself by watching his videos.
