Watch: A Weekend in Detroit for Fun & Photography

Michigan's largest city is an Art Deco masterpiece

Greetings from what was the second stop of the recent Photowalks Midwest tour, Detroit.

Forget what you may have heard about past issues in Michigan’s biggest city. The place is an Art Deco masterpiece, with a beautiful waterfront, a great little island to visit to snap shots of the skyline, those famous Coney Dogs and simply the best pizza I’ve had all year. (Sorry Chicago.)

Everybody makes their pizza differently, and Detroit has it’s own unique way. I went to Buddy’s for “Detroit Style” pizza twice during my three-day stay. It was that good.

Plus, I made some great new friends while there, like Ron Watts, A.K.A. Phat Kat, the rapper by night and tour guide by day, Grace Kero, the outgoing owner of the American Coney Dogs establishment (that’s her in the thumbnail with me) and hey, I got to ride around in a classic Model T Ford at the Henry Ford museum.

Take a look and let me know if you don’t fall in love with Detroit.

Plus, ICYMI, here’s Battle Creek, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
