    It is quite long and full of pics. if you aren't interested in art & culture then no reason to read it anyway. Have fun in Detroit whatever you decide to explore.

    Apologies, it was meant to be a snarky but lighthearted comment about the irony of having to pay to read about poor artists :). I actually am interested. Edit - found it here: https://archive.ph/qfQVA

    I get it, no worries. The thing is most artists are poor, there is no money in it except for the very few. It just irks me that as a society we value the arts so little. Good for those “poors” in Detroit ;)

    If you're at all into music, the Motown Museum is a must-see.

    Got back this afternoon. Ended up being super busy hobnobbing almost the entire time morning to night so I didn’t have any time to see anything. I did go to Highlands, restaurant/event place on the 71st and 72nd floors of the Renaissance Center twice for networking events. Fantastic views.

    Detroit was a lot nicer than I thought it would be, people were pleasant and the temperature was in the 50s during the day.

    You were busy hobnobbing so didn't see anything, but it was a lot nicer than you thought it would be? I laughed. :D I was just thinking - you should've gone to Hamtramck and worshipped at the shrine of Rudy T. lol.

    No joke, a friend sent this to me today and I about died laughing ("Detroit vs. Everybody!!!!"):

    Ok, fair. I walked around downtown a bit to find a market to buy some semi-healthy snacks and fruit, paid attention during my uber rides and talked to all of the hotel stafd. So I guess I saw a tad as I wasn’t completely self absorbed while I was there.
