Follow up to the weekend

Here's a nice pictorial of the weekend including a movie of Ford Field in Detroit.




You know you're getting close to Detroit when you see the big Uniroyal Tire by the side of the road on 94.










This is the Renaissance Center in Detroit (the Ren Cen for short). It's tough to think of renaissance and Detroit together.











An abandon house down the street from the Motorcity Casino Hotel. There's a few of them in a row like this. Wow. Move it to another neighborhood and it's worth a million bucks easy.










These homes are about four blocks north of the abandon home above. Nice, mid-level town homes. It's a city of stark contrasts.











At Michigan and Trumbull is the old Tiger Stadium.












You can see that they are in the process of tearing it down. Hopefully something income producing will go in there.











The bed at the Motorcity Casino Hotel.














The standup shower and the large bathtub along with the complimentary bathrobe. Nice!












Look at the size of the bath towels!! They're huge and soft!!











View of the bathroom from the room. The toilet is back in it's own room through that entryway you see in the back.

















The cool sink and vanity in the bathroom. It all was just awesome.












Here's the tv console with glassware on the left and closets on either side of the tv.












Speaking of tv, that's how you viewed the pillow library. You can't actually go to the room. I ordered this pillow, but it never came and then I forgot about it. I guess anyone can SAY they have a pillow library huh?










They have all sorts of pillows....supposedly.












Here's the tailgate before the game on Sunday. Not exactly the bustle of activity that you get around a Bears game.












We were within a few blocks of the stadium. There's Ford Field peaking out from behind that red building.























For those who might not ever get to Ford Field in Detroit. Here's a quick video. Sorry it's a little dark. I thought it was going to be fine. Oh well.
