Downtown Detroit

The city is busy with cars and people everywhere. Tall buildings loom overhead and block out the direct warmth of the sun as we walked around downtown. Our first stop was to head down to the river. It's a newly developed area with fountains and sculptures. Across the river sits Canada which you can get to by bridge or tunnel.

This area on weekends and holidays is filled with people and activity. Today, the pigeons are enjoying the peace and quiet.

We finally made it over to our new business that we now own 70%. The GM building is the tallest in the city and sits on the bank of the river. It is also home to the Marriott and is the tallest Hotel Building in the Western Hampshire. We decided to walk around inside the building, since we now own it. The lobby greets you with brand new GM Cars all polished and on display. The guards just smile at you when you walk in. We made our way deep inside and discovered a circular open area that displays more GM products. On the outer ring, facing the cars are a bunch of fast food joints. Some important suit is sitting in front of a electric blue car doing an interview. He doesn't look too happy and we assume they were talking about the bankruptcy. A few employees are milling around with a deer in headlight look. Not a good feeling.

Our last stop was to head over to the stadiums. Home of the Lions and Tigers. These two stadiums sit right next to each other. The Detroit Tigers have a game this evening and the PA system was being tested and music was blaring as we walked around. The cool thing is you can see the playing field when you walk on the sidewalk outside of the stadium. I'm sure that when there is a game you can't see anything because of all the people in your way.

Today we are packing up and moving out. Still a few days before our next assignment in Woodstock, New York, so we are going to explore Cleveland, Ohio before we get there.
