"A new breed of urban homesteader is helping to revive Motor City. Abandoned factories and warehouses like the Russell Industrial Center have been turned into studios for artists and artisans, while gardens now flourish in formerly vacant lots. The exuberant Heidelberg Art Project turns urban blight into a symbol of hope. Detroit's food scene, meanwhile, is taking off. Foran's Grand Trunk micropub, the Eastern Market, Supino Pizzeria, and Slows BBQ are just some of the gastronomic must-dos. Don't forget the city's museums, including the Detroit Institute of Art, home to Diego Rivera's 'Detroit Industry' murals, and the delightful Motown Museum."
They also suggest that you not miss Cafe D'Mongo's.
The article's comments section provides a nice example of the way in which people feel the need to make ridiculously uninformed, hyperbolic comments about Detroit. A user named "pkr" has this piece of knowledge to add: "There may be some really nifty new features in Detroit but you'll be robbed or killed getting to them. Detroit + Late night Friday = murder\death\kill"
Keep that in mind. If you're in Detroit on a Friday night, you will be murdered.
