Potato Chip Capital of the World


Gabe and I are visiting Detroit this week (I've never been and Gabe went once a long time ago).  To be honest, I haven't heard the best things about it, but we're going in with an open mind and hoping to have a fun week!  These are a few interesting facts I've found about the city.  If you know Detroit well and have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

-it's the potato chip capital of the world, based on consumption (my kind of place)
-has the most registered bowlers in the US
-it's the home of Madonna, Eminem, and Tom Selleck
-has the largest theater district in the US next to New York
-built the nation's first urban freeway in 1942 (the Davison)
-is the home of Motown
