Bob Crowe said...: Okay, I've visiting Detroit for the first time in a week and a half. Is this what I'm going to get?

By the way, Mary, I never sent you a follow up email. We like artsy stuff, museums, sculpture gardens, botanical gardens, and also interesting off beat neighborhoods. Email me if you have any specific advice.; October 9, 2007 at 10:22 PM
