OT Detroit...what to do...?

[Jonasz]

I'm gonna be in the Detroit area for two weeks (from march 16th) and I want ideas about what to do there. Is there something you just HAVE to see? (apart from Red Wings) Are there any interesting DIY'ers to visit perhaps? Or any good audio stores? What's the things to see there, from a non-audio tourist perspective?

run away? Detroit scares me. :P

The most obvious person that comes to mind is Jim Salk (www.salksound.com).

Yes if you can touch base with Jim Salk do so, he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. His woodworking is absolutely stunning.

Hitsville USA, Motown would be a nice stop.Check out where the funk bothers pounded out hit after hit.Check out the movie,"Standing in the shaddows of Motown" first.It will give you a heads up on what to expect.

Detroit Tourism

My wife and I travel by motorhome about half time. We were in Detroit for a few days last fall. We loved the Eleanor and Edsel home in Gross Pointe Shores, amazing. The Henry Ford (Greenfield Village et al) and the Henry Ford Estate were pretty neat too. Detroit had the worst drivers we have ever encountered and we travel a lot, including Mexico.

Good Luck
