Adventures in Detroit - #1 - Mexican Town

Some great city art can be found on many of the buildings that show a glimpse of the multi-cultural aspect of Detroit. This picture is a well loved mural on the side of a restaurant in Mexi-town.

From there you have a great vantage point of other parts of the city. Off in the distance you can see the historic train station, the Ambassador Bridge, and some interesting bits of Detroit's skyline. There great restaurants in Mexican town where you can get some very good authentic Mexican food, and pretty cheap. When in Detroit, it always makes a great evening out. Be sure to ask the locals how to find the bakery, where you can get about two grocery bags full of pastries for under ten dollars. ( I used to do this to create huge plates of treats for parties on a college kid budget. )

One new thing that surprised me is the pedestrian bridge, which wasn't here when I lived in Detroit. It re-links this area of town with the downtown area, and makes for a fantastic urban view.
