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!

I hope yall have a great week!
Hold the phone Val. The potato chip capital? Um, this could be a sign. Keep your eyes peeled for Ketchup chips!! And Eminem paraphernalia. Closet fan here.
Anyway - wishing you a great trip, a pile of chips, and a speedy and safe return. I really hope Charlie Sheen was not on your flight. Did you hear he got boo'd off the stage there this weekend? GOOD - is that over yet?

Go to Slow's BBQ and to PizzaPapalis in Greektown. Neither will disappoint. Enjoy!

ah, detroit, my sort of hometown. i'm from toledo, which is a mini-detroit, 45 minutes south. my dad was born in detroit, too. yes, it's sad, but i'm hoping it makes a comback some day soon. hope it wasn't TOO deserted for your trip!
Ohh Have fun! I agree potato chip capital = my heaven!
Have a great trip and enjoy all the chips you want! I hear when you are on vacation, they are all fat free ;). Also, be on the lookout for Eminem!

Hope you have a good week. I went to Detroit last year. While I wouldn't live there it was definitely fun and worth while to visit!

I've never been to Detroit -- although Notre Dame is just ten minutes south of Michigan -- but I hope you have a BLAST. I'm sure you'll find something fabulous to do!

Eat TONS of chips, because it's really all about the food, right??
Can't wait to hear (and see) all about it!
My fiance is from the Detroit Area. His advice is to have a coney dog, go to Greektown, and see a sporting event.
Just found your blog, it's lovely!
