Posted June 12, 201213 yr Here's part two of my Spring 2012 tour of the Motor City, with night shots. I apologize for the graininess, but my camera's batteries went dead and had to use this instead, I'm surprised how some of the shots turned out though. Here we go with Detroit night shots! Looking up at the David Whitney Building, currently being renovated into a boutique hotel... designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham Buildings in Grand Circus Park, Rub BBQ is good urban BBQ The Fillmore Concert Theatre, on Woodward Avenue... The world-renowned 5,000 Fox Theatre, was restored by Mike Ilitch in 1988... Comerica Park @ night, the roar was silenced tonight as the Tigers were playing on the road that night... Hockeytown Cafe... place is usually packed before a concert or sporting event downtown... Looking south on Woodward, towards the Fillmore again... Cheli's Chili Bar on Adams Street, near Comerica Park in the former Women's Exchange Tudor-Revival Building... Detroit Opera House, looking up at the Broderick Tower... The Broderick Tower is being renovated into lofts and condos! Angelina Italian Bistro in the former Madison Theater Building... Bustling Broadway, across from the Opera House Looking up at the magnificent, but endangered and needed for repairs, Wurlitzer Building... Renaissance Center, lit up in blue, on Jefferson... One Detroit Center, with the People Mover coming towards the Millender Center in the foreground RenCen on the riverfront... Windsor, Ontario skyline.

So, Detroit's had the honor of having the tallest hotel in the world twice, the other, of course, is the Marriott in the central tower of the Renaissance Center Hope you guys enjoyed it!
