Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
Considered the world's largest African-American museums, the Wright Museum
was opened in 1997 showcasing one of the most comprehensive collections of
history and culture. Behind the walls of the Wright Museum, the story of
black experience in Detroit is told. Housed within 120,000 square feet of
space, gallery exhibits include a research library, classrooms, and a
museum store. Documentation to tell the African American story was drawn
from Detroit's own history records.

Comerica Park Review
Highlighting some of the architectural attributes of new and old stadiums,
Comerica has created a fabulous park to enjoy Detroit Tiger's baseball
games. Unlike days gone by, the new park is a great place for family
entertainment. Heading the facade of the park is a huge tiger dominating the
outer facade much like figures in Ancient European theaters. Concession stands
and carousels galore have been strategically placed for easy access to visitors
before reaching the bleachers. Unlike other stadiums built today,
there are no obstructed views from anyplace in the Comerica Park Stadium.

Eastern Market
Known for it's fresh fruits and vegetables since 1841, many customers get up
early just to get the best parking on the busy weekends. Most go armed with a
shopping list of basic needs and ultimately leave with a whole lot more. The
variety and freshness of the season is what draws shoppers to the Market. Some
of the more popular stores include Rocky Peanut, Cost Plus Wine Shoppe, and the
old general store R. Hirt Jr. Co., with imported items from the UK, Scottland,
and around the world.
