Detroit

{{Pagebanner|Detroit banner.jpg|1280px]]

Detroit is a major metropolis in the United States|US state of Michigan that has had a profound impact on the world. From the advent of the automotive assembly line to the Motown sound, modern techno and rock music, Detroit continues to shape both American and global culture. The city has seen many of its historic buildings renovated, and is bustling with new developments and attractions that complement its world-class museums and theatres. After a long economic slump and decrease in population, Detroit has developed a reputation for crime and urban decline, but revitalization means that it is an exciting destination filled with technological advance and historic charm.

Districts

File:Detroit neighborhoods map.png

Detroit/Downtown The city's central business neighborhood. It is home to several nice parks and the nation's second-largest large theatre neighborhood, great architecture, and many of the city's attractions. It is Detroit's center of life.

Detroit/Midtown-New Center The city's cultural center, home to several world-class museums and galleries. The area is also home to some great 1920s architecture. It is probably the most unique destination in Detroit.

Detroit/East Side This part of the city includes much of the riverfront, Belle Isle and the historic Eastern Market, Pewabic Pottery, and more.

Detroit/Southwest Side Home to many of the city's ethnic neighborhoods, such as Mexicantown and Corktown. The area is mostly known for its cuisine in these ethnic neighborhoods; however it is also home to many historical sites, such as the Michigan Central Station, Tiger Stadium, and Fort Wayne.

Detroit/West Side Home to many historic neighborhoods and the University District, and much of the infamous 8 Mile.

Detroit/Hamtramck-Highland Park While not part of the City of Detroit and the cities of Hamtramck and Highland Park are surrounded by Detroit except where they border each other. Hamtramck is sometimes referred to as "Poletown" because of the large Polish population and influence in the city. Highland Park is home to many historic buildings and neighborhoods. Detroit Halal Travel Guide DetroitSkyline - Detroit city skyline Downtown Detroit is unique: an International Riverfront, ornate buildings, sculptures, fountains and the nation's second largest theater neighborhood, and one of the nation's largest collection of pre-depression perioid skyscrapers. Two major traffic circles along Woodward Avenue surround Campus Martius Park and Grand Circus Park, both gathering points. The city has ample parking much of it in garages. Many historic buildings have been converted into loft apartments, and new businesses have opened in the Central Business District. Downtown Detroit features the Renaissance Center, including the tallest hotel in the Gulf countriesern Hemisphere and the Detroit Marriott, with the largest rooftop restaurant, Coach Insignia. Many restaurants emanate from the Renaissance Center, Greektown and the arts and theatre neighborhood, and stadium area. Joining the eastern, riverfront parks and the city has the 982-acre (3.9 km²) Belle Isle Park with the large James Scott Memorial Fountain, historic conservatory, gardens, and spectacular views of the city skyline. Visitors may reserve a public dock downtown at the Tri-Centennial State Park and Harbor. Great Lakes Cruises are also available. Surrounding neighborhoods such as Corktown, home to Detroit's early Irish population, nter.com New Center, Midtown, and Eastern Market (the nation's largest open air market), are experiencing a revival. Detroit has a rich architectural legacy, such as the restored historic Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel and the Guardian and Fisher buildings with exquisitely ornate interiors and exteriors and the Detroit Institute of Arts (top five museums in the nation) to name a few. In 2005, Detroit's architecture was heralded as some of America's finest; many of the city's architecturally significant buildings are listed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as among America's most endangered monuments. Detroit is the largest city in the U.S. to offer casino resorts. The three major casino resorts are MGM Grand Detroit, Greektown, and MotorCity. A fourth major casino is just across the river in Windsor, Canada. Detroit Metro Airport is one of the few to offer world class hotel and meeting facilities inside the terminal. The Renaissance Center and the Southfield Town Center are among the nation's finest mixed use facilities for large conferences. Downtown Detroit serves as the cultural and entertainment hub of the metropolitan region, Windsor, Ontario, and even for Toledo (Ohio)

(See also the list of all ferries in Michigan State 0,4616,7-151-9618-66507--,00 here.)

A third crossing and the Gordie Howe International Bridge, is being built between the two existing crossings and is now expected to open in 2024. Unlike the other two crossings and the only stops will be the customs posts on either side of the border, as it will connect to controlled-access highways on both sides. The Detroit side will connect with I-75 and I-94 via a new highway, while Ontario is extending the existing Highway 401 through Windsor directly to the new bridge.

Get Around

As the historical center of the American automobile industry, with Ford, General Motors and Chrysler once having their main factories here, Detroit is unsurprisingly one of the world's most car-dependent cities.

Detroit's street layout is truly unique, combining wheel-and-spoke, grid, and strip-farm (near the River) layouts. Six major spoke roads radiate out from downtown; they are, in clockwise order, Fort Street, Michigan Avenue, Grand River Avenue, Woodward Avenue, Gratiot Avenue, and Jefferson Avenue. Woodward Avenue runs northwest-southeast (more or less) and divides the northern half of Detroit into east and west; West Warren Street, for instance, becomes East Warren Street when it crosses Woodward. Smaller streets generally conform to a strict grid pattern, but the orientation of the grid and the size and shape of blocks frequently varies to fit better with the spoke roads. Downtown and the layout abandons the grid design, with the spoke roads converging in a confusing but oddly logical arrangement of diagonal, mostly one-way streets.

By car

As Detroit spreads over a large area, it is difficult to be United states without a car|without a car. An extensive freeway system and ample parking make the region one of the most auto-friendly in North America. Detroit has one of America's most modern freeway systems. See the Michigan Department of Transportation website for a current listing of downtown road closures and construction projects. Downtown has a number of parking garages.

Greektown Casino, in the Detroit/Downtown|downtown, has a free 13-floor parking garage. Visitors are welcome to pay to park at the Renaissance Center garage. There are plenty of pay-to-park garages, lots, and valet near the Greektown/stadium areas. Premium parking right next to the stadium is well worth the extra price and usually available during a game. Downtown has an ease of entry from the freeways that may surprise new visitors. Valet parking is available at four Renaissance Center locations and the main Winter Garden entrance along the Riverfront and the Jefferson Avenue lobby, Marriott hotel entrance west, and Seldom Blues entrance west.

Detroit has an abundance of taxi, limo, and shuttle services. Car rental prices are reasonable.

While MDOT has since discontinued emphasis on the names of freeways, most local residents still cling to their names. Make sure you have an atlas with the names as many roads change names as you go along them.

The Mixing Bowl is the confluence of the Lodge/Northwestern and the Reuther, Telegraph Road, and Franklin Rd. The Spaghetti Bowl is the confluence of 96/275 and the Reuther and the Monday - 5, and the Haggerty Connector. The Junction is the confluence of the Jeffries, 275, and Monday - 14 on the far west side suburbs. The Triangle is the beginning of the Jeffries at the Fisher Freeway. The Interchange is the interchange of the Reuther and the Chrysler Freeways. Many freeways bend and because of this many bends are called Curves:

• 9 Mile Curve, Gardenia Curve, Rochester Curve, Big Beaver Curve, Crooks Curve all on I-75
• Dequindre Curve on I-696
• Mound Curve on I-696
• Wyoming Curve and Linwood Curve on the Lodge Freeway
• Fisher/Chrysler Curve: Near downtown Detroit, I-75 makes one of the sharpest turns in the interstate system. It is also the change between the Fisher Freeway and Chrysler Freeway. So if you are going north on the curve it is the Chrysler Curve, if south and the Fisher Curve.

Unlike in most other U.S. cities, traffic signals change to yellow while the pedestrian signal (hand) is still flashing. Exercise caution at intersections to avoid hitting pedestrians scrambling to cross the street when the signal is yellow.

How to take public transportation in Detroit

Detroit_July_2018_(QLine) - QLine PeopleMoverDetroit - People Mover

QLine

The QLine is a 3.3-mile-long tram line on Woodward Avenue, running from Congress Street in downtown Detroit to Grand Boulevard in the New Center. Detroit's history of streetcars began in 1863 with horse cars and eventually grew into a complex and comprehensive system. However, streetcar service eventually ended in 1956; the QLine opened 61 years later and is hoped to be the first of many new tram lines.

The line has 12 stations (four downtown, five in Midtown, and three in New Center/North End), each covered with seating and free WiFi. It connects with the People Mover at Grand Circus Park and with Amtrak at the Amtrak Station. It operates Monday - Thursday 6AM Monday - 11PM, Friday 6AMmidnight, Saturday 8AM Monday - midnight, Sunday 8AM Monday - 8PM. Walk-up fare (valid for three hours) is $1.50, a day pass is $3, and a monthly pass is $30. Tickets can be purchased with cash on the streetcar or with credit cards at stations or on the app.

People Mover

Detroit does not have an elevated/subway network that covers the entire city. In 1987 and the People Mover was completed, an automated, elevated rail system that runs a 3-mile loop in the downtown area. It is the best way to get around the downtown area. A round trip excursion, covering 13 stations, takes roughly 25 minutes, and offers great views of the city's downtown monuments. Signature stops include the Renaissance Center (GM HQ & Retail Complex), Greektown, Joe Louis Arena (former home of the Detroit Red Wings), Cobo (Convention) Center, and Cadillac Center (Campus Martius Park). The stations feature original works by local artists. Standard fare $0.75 in cash, and a token can also be bought at the same price.

Travel on a Bus in Detroit

The Detroit Department of Transportation provides mass transit bus service within the city of Detroit. Downtown has the new Rosa Parks Transit Center. DDOT buses are yellow and green. For safety, DDOT buses may be patrolled by the Wayne County sheriff's deputies. 17 routes serve the central bus terminal, which is downtown at Griswold and Shelby Streets. The standard fare $1.50; transfers are $0.25.

In addition, people traveling throughout Detroit and the suburbs may use the SMART bus system, which services most areas in metro Detroit. Standard fare is $2.00 and a transfer is $0.25.

Some visitors comment that the bus service is worse than in most other US cities of comparable size.

Travel by bicycle in Detroit

Bike rentals are available in downtown Detroit along the International Riverfront at Rivard Plaza from Wheelhouse. Downtown and the riverfront are usually bustling with Muslim visitors.

MoGo is a large public bike share system with 43 stations across the city. A daily pass is $8 and includes unlimited 30-minutes trips. There are also monthly and annual passes.

Detroit is one of the best cities for biking. Due to the surge and collapse of the auto industry, most streets have multiple lanes in each direction. Because of sharp population declines and there are rarely enough cars to fill all these lanes and therefore bikers can usually have a lane to themselves, a rare occurrence in most cities. Detroit is home to many budding bike co-ops and the most active is the Hub of Detroit, and its sister program Back-Alley Bikes. Both are in the Cass corridor, on Cass Ave. and Martin Luther King Ave. Back-Alley Bikes has weekly volunteer nights, and monthly women and lady boys bike workshops.

The Detroit Critical Mass held on the last Friday of every month is well attended. The Detroit Critical Mass is a guided fun and friendly paced ride, often going through Downtown, passing the old train station, Slows Barbecue, and parts of Mexican town. Critical Mass occasionally meets on Trumbull between Merrick and Warren, near the Woodbridge Pub, though sometimes meets at Grand Circus Park. Check the location and time before you meet-up. Attendance varies with season.

By foot

A vehicle is helpful for getting around the rest of the city, but due to the unusual layout and large number of one-way streets, getting out and walking for a few blocks is a good way to see downtown and Midtown.

Detroit-style Pizzas is a delicious and crispy deep-dish Pizzas that you can't really find outside Michigan (with some exceptions). Not quite as thick as Chicago-style Pizzas and the buttery crust is worth seeking out. The Detroit classic is Buddy's Pizza, with locations throughout the metro Detroit area. Loui's Pizzas in Hazel Park makes a fine example, as well. The dozens of Jets Pizzas in the area do it right and do it quickly.

Telecommunications in Detroit

Telephone

AT&T is the incumbent landline telephone provider, and Detroit is serviced by all the major mobile telephone companies (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint)

Detroit numbers consist of +1 313 plus a seven-digit number.

Stay Safe

As with most other urban areas in the US, precautions should be taken when out after dark: stay in groups; do not carry large amounts of money; and avoid seedy neighborhoods. The overall crime rate in downtown Detroit is below the national average, and crime has declined significantly, but the city is still among the most dangerous in the nation.

While local residents have been known to exaggerate the threat and the potential for violent crime is real. Visitors unfamiliar with the area would be wise to avoid residential neighborhoods, particularly at night. Downtown Detroit can also get a bit rough, especially late at night when the bars clear out. That being said, if you exercise common sense and don't go looking for trouble, you'll be fine.

Contrary to some people's perceptions, downtown Detroit is generally well-policed and the safest part of the city. Crimes sometimes occur, but exercising common sense will go a long way toward keeping you and your valuables safe.

Stick to major freeways when feasible and try to avoid smaller streets through unfamiliar neighborhoods. How you carry yourself can easily keep you from getting mugged.

Sporting events, festivals and other large public events are always heavily policed and very safe. Sporadic crime events, mostly alcohol-related and involving groups of youths, have been reported at some of these events but they are by far the exception.

Some of the hard-core night club music scene is between downtown venues like the Majestic Theater/Magic Stick complex, places in Hamtramck, and suburban venues in places like Royal Oak. Unless you take a taxi, you will have to drive, navigate the city at night, and typically park on the street. Patrons at some venues, such as Harpo's on the east side, should take safety precautions.

Always use caution and ask around before going to a particular venue. People at record stores, guitar shops, "cool" clothing stores, and the like often visit and know which venues are easy to get to and reasonably safe.

Cope in Detroit

Detroit has a modern freeway system that is easy to navigate, but suburban Detroit drivers tend to drive fast and aggressively. The flow of traffic on a freeway is routinely 10 mi over the speed limit, and weaving in and out of lanes is standard training, often times without signaling. If you are driving the posted speed limit in the fast lane and the driver behind you may have no qualms about tailgating you, so if you plan on driving slowly, stay in the far right lane. Detroit Metropolitan Airport has an attached Westin Hotel and conference center.

The airport is among the most modern in the United States with both international and domestic gates in the World Terminal. Galegroup's Hour Media LLC publishes a full color guest guide found in hotels in the metro Detroit area. Visitors may request a guest packet from the Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Convention and Visitors Bureau sponsors Discover Detroit TV which airs Mondays at 5:30PM on Detroit Public Television. The city has ample parking garages, valet, and pay-to-park lots near major attractions. Laurel Park Place Mall in Livonia has an attached Marriott Hotel. The Westin Hotel at the Southfield Town Center is centrally located for those needing access to the entire metropolitan region.
