Call it Motor City or Motown and you've captured two primary aspects of Detroit's heritage -- cars and music. Credit Henry Ford's automobile assembly line with putting Detroit on the map in the early 1900s. With Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, Motor City thrived. The prosperity of the city and the auto industry were in sync, be it good times or, more recently, bleak. While Detroit's era of car manufacturing has faded, music has remained a resounding part of the city's nightlife. The Motown Sound began in the 1960s with the likes of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. The Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts has hosted legendary musicians for nearly 90 years and is still going strong. Nightclubs offer live jazz paired with a helping of soul food.
Fortunately, urban revival is the city's latest trend, especially along the waterfront. The Detroit Riverfront includes a convenient harbor where Great Lakes cruise ships dock, a park and a network of biking and jogging trails. On the opposite side of the Detroit River, which connects lakes Erie and St. Clair, is Ontario, Canada. It is accessible via the Ambassador Bridge or the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.
What's Detroit's next big boom? Meds and eds, or medical centers, education and technology. Meanwhile, as one tour guide put it, Detroit is like a Swiss cheese with pockets of abandoned neighborhoods. These pockets, or holes, in the cheese are being cleaned up and filled with green spaces and vegetable gardens, making the urban landscape more attractive and livable.
For the cruise visitor, one of the top attractions harkens back to Motor City days. The Henry Ford Museum is a sprawling complex of trains, planes and automobiles that will keep you enthralled for hours.
