I'm visiting Detroit for a few days next week. What's good to eat, and where do I spend my time and money?
We're three adults with a couple of unplanned days. So what are the things we won't want to miss? It looks like Detroit has a really nice art museum and an amazing used bookstore. What's fun? What are the best places to eat?
More specifically/bonus questions...
I'm a veteran thrift store shopper and have been told by many thrift store workers for years that Detroit is the place to go to get the good stuff. They say that a lot of clothing sold by thrift stores across the country goes through Detroit for some reason, and that is where a lot of the best things get yanked for sale. Is this true? I'm always on the lookout for quality items from the 70s. Can I find good vintage stuff somewhere in Detroit for real?
I'm a movie nut. Any special local opportunities on that front? The internet is giving me conflicting info about whether the Robocop statue is actually being exhibited now. Can I go see it or not?
I love music too! Is there a good place to get used CDs?
Is fowling actually fun?
I somewhat regret doing internet research, because people say a lot of worrying things about the city, and I'm inclined to ignore it. For example, people say that visitors probably don't want to rent a car because traffic patterns are somehow unique enough to be confusing. Can that be true? Is driving in Detroit substantially different from any other city?
