I love D-town. Actually I love Michigan in general. Great place, great people.
A couple times a year, we head down I-75 and hit a few malls. Somerset is good because the wife likes it (the cheap side). They have a decent food court, so that's cool too.
The best bargains are cheap clothes (Steve & Barry's) and booze, but you're too young to drink.
Anyway I just wanted to chime in and say I love Detroit. It gets a pretty bad rap, and I know a lot of crap goes on that gets over-publicized, but it is a REALLY great city.
Oh yeah and you can't beat Mexican town eats... Monday nights - Canadian $ at par. Tigers games, Lions, Pistons, Wings... :thumbsup:
