Mary's Detroit Photoblog: 3 views of the Tricentennial Light

Friday, June 20, 2008

This is the lighthouse in Tricentennial Park downtown. You can walk
here from the Rennaisance Center. It's a popular fishing spot.

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: It is very well cared for--when we were there, a worker was planting NATIVE GRASS around the base of the lighthouse.

It's in the center of the city, not a very scenic place light the lighthouses in Maine. (Does Vermont have lighthouses on Champlain, I can't remember.)

We do have much more scenic lights, but this is the closest. So we get here more often.

Unfortunately, sadly, I live in the middle of the CITY (which I hate, being a country girl!); June 23, 2008 at 12:17 PM
