- We want to start with an apology to amazing women and men of the City of Detroit…. For years, we have feared travelling to the Motor City. Those fears were truly misplaced!
The downtown area of Detroit has undergone some spirited and strategic redevelopment over the past decade and it shows! And the people, we can’t say enough about the genuine friendly attitude we encountered every place we went!
After checking in to the Hilton Garden Inn on Gratiot, we started wandering and exploring the downtown core.
A beach? Yep….. And that’s not the half of it! We strongly recommend putting on some sunscreen and your walking shoes and just wandering!!
Some highlights from our walk include The Guardian Building, The Spirit of Detroit monument and the Monroe Mid Way… oh, and Greek Town and Parker’s Alley!
The inspiration for this stop was the Detroit Tigers and Comerica Park. The vibe here was fantastic and the views from every in this attraction are great!!
We end our visit with a stroll down to the Eastern Market, full of fresh produce vendors. It was just a 15 minute walk each way from the hotel.
Sooooooo……. If, like us, a visit to Detroit hasn’t been high on your list, it’s time for you to give them a shot. You’ll be so happy you did!!

Detroit has changed greatly in a good way ❤😊
It certainly has!! I am happy to be sharing this message about Detroit!!
I'm visiting for the first time next week and am looking forward to a wonderful experience........
Welcome to Michigan
Thanks for showing my city in a positive light! 😊
Our pleasure! The City and the people earned it!!!!
I just moved back to the Detroit area after living near Fort Lauderdale, FL for 23 years! I couldn't be happier!
Spent five years in Florida cooper city could not wait to move back to southern Michigan
@@frankmcmahon5820 I was in Pembroke Pines!
You need to come back, there is so much more to see and do in the central district of Detroit, you didn't even scratch the surface! Although Detroit has experience redevelopment like no other city the last 10 years, Detroit is now poised to experience it's greatest construction boom
We will be back in 2024! We were disappointed we had only given your amazing city 24 hours in our schedule!!
Definitely enjoyed your video i love my city❤
Glad you enjoyed it!!! We love your City too!!
Love that you loved Detroit ❤ such an awesome place 😊
Wow! Thank you for visiting and sharing! Really hope your experience was friendly and positive, just like the people here. Hope you come back soon!
It was a great, albeit too short, visit to start our MLB road trip!! The people of Detroit truly made us feel at home!!
We’ll be back!
I truly can't thank you enough for this terrific video. I'm a 71 year resident of the Motor City, and literally cried my way through watching it (happy tears). Though there's lots more to cover, you did a great job for only having a 24 hour window of time to do it in. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for wonderful feedback!
@@dirtroadtraveller5553 My pleasure.
Great video!
We have some world-class museums here too. The Detroit Institute of Arts, Greenfield Village, and Henry Ford Museum are all great to visit.
The Henry Ford, especially. You’ll find many iconic items there such as the chair Abraham Lincoln was shot in, the Rosa Parks bus, and many other historically important items.
We truly wish we had given ourselves a couple more days… hindsight and all….
Hi 👋🏾 From Detroit, Just found your card from your check out, and wanted to see the review! I must say you did a great job featuring a lot of the Detroit spirit in a short time! Definitely brought joy to see my city captured so well! Best wishes on your journey and if your ever back in Detroit don’t hesitate to say hello!
Awesome!! So happy you enjoyed the message we shared!! We would really appreciate you sharing this video so that others get the message, and by extension, learn about our Dirt Road Traveller project!! We have many videos coming out from our Baseball Road Trip series over the coming weeks / month!!
Glad you enjoyed yourself and had fun, I live in downtown Detroit and absolutely love it. It is just so interesting architecturally and so much to do, and you’re absolutely right. The people are just so nice and welcoming and diverse, we love it! Enjoy your travels.
I totally agree!
Detroit gets such a bad rap. It has come from the ashes to be a rebuilt gem( literally from the bottom up). The downtown & near midtown are clean, shiny, safe & beautiful. There are good , hard working people in this town. Beautiful parks, outstanding architecture, lovely scenery. Pay us a visit & be surprised.
Agree wholeheartedly!! I hope we shared that message in our video!!
Anytime you're in town, be sure to check out Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. The greatest outdoor museum in the world.
Its located just outside Detroit in Dearborn.
Great tip!! We were sad that our plans for our trip did not take the ‘new’ Detroit into consideration!! We hope that people watching this video understand that Detroit deserves a longer look!!
Thanks Patrick!!
@@dirtroadtraveller5553 as another Michigander, we understand! You did a wonderful job showcasing the good things the city has to offer in such a short amount of time! Thank you! Maybe I am biased but I've been all over the US and I swear there's something special about Detroit that I can never quite put my finger on.
Come back to Michigan some time! If you enjoy gorgeous nature and sandy beaches and charming small towns, Northwestern Michigan is one of the best kept secrets in the whole country. And Grand Rapids has truly world class breweries, too.
Keep doing exactly what you are doing. You guys are amazing.
Love the video! it’s pronounced campus marshus park btw
Thanks!! Sorry I stumbled on the name!!
The D has come a long way. Great city
Detroit is an awesome place. Always has been. People outside of Detroit or the state are the only people who denigrate it.
We were happy to be able to form our own, very positive, opinion!!!
Actually, spectacular is a good description. Great video!
Glad you think so!
This MUST have been a week day at the eastern market…. The days I’ve been able to get down there we have to circle around multiple time to find a spot to park while dodging pedestrian traffic
We were there early on a Saturday morning in mid July…… it’s still a great market and that breakfast was HUGE!!
Nice video of Detroit and it’s beautiful downtown, thanks for sharing this video.. became a subscriber as well..🙌🏼👌🏽👍👏🏼😃🏢📸
Thank you for your kind words!! I hope you enjoy our travels!!
One time the 4th largest. New York Chicago Philadelphia and Detroit. round late 50's.😊
The Gem Theatre was once a 24 hours porn show. It sits presently where my old apartment building was. That was a remarkable place.
Yeah, it's crazy how they moved the entire building from where Comerica Park sits now.
At one time the 4th largest city in the US.
Thanks, yes, in 1920….
In 1950, when it reached its highest population, it was 5th….
I absolutely mis-stated!
Hope you enjoyed the video otherwise.
You hit a good portion of the popular "safe places!" Go down 7 Mile Rd. at night in Detroit and you'll have a different perspective. 😆
I would agree!
There’s bad areas of literally every major city. What’s the point??
Great! Pronounced “yero” ❤
It pronounced: "yee-rows" dude.
Thanks Dude
