I moved away a few years ago and you brought back many memories. Did you visit Belle Isle? By the way, Hamtramck is noted for the best "punchkies" ever. People would stand in line on "Fat Tuesday" just to get a taste of these wonderful donuts. Thank you Charles for your beautiful story of the Detroit that I have loved for so many years.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the visit. Your write-up reminds me of the campaign in the 80's - "Say Nice Things About Detroit." http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/98562739_e2643836dc.jpg?v=0 It's definitely a city with many struggles, but there are gems within. When you come back, another thing to add to the list of places to visit is Corktown - my friend Judy owns a home that is the former neighborhood funeral parlor, and there are lots of creative folks in the area. One of my favorite homes there is purple with a vulture sculpture lurking over the front entrance. ^_^ Cheers! Trase Thank you Charles for this great review of the city!
