Is the Detroit Auto Show the best around? How is the atmosphere there?
I heard Detroit is a rough city, but the downtown has become beautiful with new stadiums and revitalization.
Yes, Detroit has it’s rough parts, but if you’re going to the Auto Show, those areas will not effect you.
Parking near Cobo can be slow and expensive, so here is a better alternative:
I suggest you park at the Greektown Casino parking garage and grab a bite to eat at any of the little places in Greektown. Avoid eating at the Casino not because they’re bad, they just aren’t as interesting as the street level places. I prefer Hellas, but you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Then hop on the People Mover – which is an elevated monorail – and it takes you right inside Cobo. The PM runs in one direction through downtown – in a big circle – so you can’t get lost. It costs 50 cents.
Prepare to be amazed by what you see at the Auto Show, it gets better every year. Devote a couple of hours – at least three – so that is why you should eat before you go.
On the way back, hop back on the People Mover and get off at the Ren Cen … walk around and check out the Winter Garden for a great view of the Detroit River, or even better, take the elevator ( it runs on the outside of the building which is very cool) to the roof.
At the top of the Ren Cen is a fancy restuarant but they also have a free tiered observation deck. It is inside, so don’t worry about the weather, and the 360 degree view is very impressive.
Back on the People Mover and back to the Motor City Casino … drop a dollar into the slots and then walk right to your car.
The nice part about using the above plan is that you can leave your heavy coat in the car. True, you’ll be a tad chilly walking through Greektown but it’s only a 100 yards or so, but a light jacket will be just fine once you hit the Auto Show floor.
Don’t forget your camera and comfortable shoes. You’ll need both.
