Now a private parking garage. Sometimes they open up for Tigers games and if u see the owner he'll let u in for a few minutes to take some pics My favorite house with the stuffed animals burnt down. You can easily see the basement now. Shoe anyone? #abandoned #blue A carousel. A ferris wheel. A mammoth water feature in center field. A decade-by-decade pedestrian museum. There is even a field with a game being played as well. Big Cat Food Court The Big Cat Food Court is near the main entrance and offers a wide variety of food choices including fresh squeezed lemonade, elephant ears, ice cream, French fries, handmade pretzels, deli sandwiches, gyros, frozen daiquiris and coney and Chicago style hot dogs. Comerica Carousel An ornate carousel, featuring 30 hand-painted tigers and two chariots, is located at the base of the food court behind the first base area. The ride is fully wheelchair-accessible. Tigers Retail There are five Tigers merchandise stores in Comerica Park. Official Tigers souvenirs and media guides are available during all home games and the main retail store on Witherell near Adams is open on NON-GAME DAYS Monday - Friday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tiger Den Lounge Located off Montcalm Street, this is a private area reserved for members of the Tiger Club and Tiger Den premium seating level.

Fly Ball Ferris Wheel Located on the third base side of the Park in the Brushfire Grill, this 50-foot Ferris wheel features cars shaped like baseballs that can seat up to five passengers and is wheelchair accessible. Sculptures The Tigers celebrate six of their all-time great players with a series of unique statues located along the left centerfield wall. The statues are cast in stainless steel and capture the essence of some of the greatest Tigers in action--Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Willie Horton, Al Kaline and Hal Newhouser. Each is perched atop a granite pedestal and reaches about 13 feet in height. Liquid Fireworks The centerfield wall features a fountain that produces a stunning Sculpture on the Riverwalk ... Clouds made an awesome day for pics Sculpture of a giant fist in honor of Joe Lewis, heavyweight boxing champion, who began his career in Detroit. A 5-story mural by Ezra Winter graces the south wall of the 1929 Guardian Building featuring allegorical references to Michigan’s industries. The Guardian Building was nicknamed the “Cathedral of Finance” when it opened 6 months before the stock market crash because it housed approximately 40% of the area’s resources and claimed one of every four bank depositors in the city of Detroit. #architecture This is the underpass by the art park. Live the colors!! The view from the patio of Green Dot Stables is of the backside of the currently abandoned and forever in some state of rehabilitation, Michigan Central Station. The station opened in 1913 and remained operational until 1988. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. A personal connection to this building would be that my father shipped out from this station to Marine boot camp after being drafted in the Korean War. A return trip for more photos and further exploration is definitely on the horizon. St. John's Episcopal Church in downtown Detroit, Mi. The James Scott Memorial Fountain was built in 1925 on Detroit's Belle Isle using money bequeathed to the city by the fountain's namesake. The fountain is carved from marble and its main bowl is over 500ft and the fountain is capable of spraying over 100ft. I'd heard about Detroit and the buildings abandoned from the declining economy. None more majestic nor haunting though than this epic train station. A slider onslaught from Green Dot Stables in Detroit! Fried chicken, catfish, grilled cheese, BBQ bacon burger, black bean burger and a spicy Italian red hot. I went to Detroit for a concert and stopped here for dinner because of a Trover post by @Lisa Osburn A very cool place with an odd race horse theme and a menu dominated by numerous slider options and crispy shoestring fries. Frank the Dinosaur!!!! You better recycle. RAWR!!! The Anthony Wayne pediment. The Wayne County Building, completed in 1902 is decorated by a plethora of sculptures. Two quadrigas (a chariot pulled by four horses) Victory & Progress and four figures on the tower corners, Law, Commerce, Agriculture, and Mechanics.

Taking the tour at the Motown Museum not only gives you an idea of the amount of talent that walked through the doors and recorded their albums here, but you also get a chance to sing in the studio. Lining up in the back alleys for a night of clubbing in Detroit’s financial district. #urbanjungle Keep an eye out for electrical transformers wrapped in Transformers in downtown Detroit. They pay homage to the whole movie franchise being filmed there. The Heidelberg project which gets its name from Heidelberg street is a neighborhood art project. A once run down neighborhood, resident Tyree Guyton has transformed abandoned junk into a massive outdoor exhibit. Patrons and staff of the Isaac Agree Memorial Soceity have joined together to revitalize the synagogue in downtown Detroit. This location marks the third home for the synagogue. It's impossible to miss with its colorful windows and bright red door welcoming its congregation. Opened in 1925 and known for most of its existence as the State Theatre, the recently rebranded Fillmore Detroit is a nearly 3000 seat concert venue. The towering marquee of the neighboring Fox Theatre can be seen photo-bombing in the backdrop. Come check@it out if you're in Detroit! Unfortunately a couple of the project homes have burnt down recently. #abandoned Yummy pizza and great place to get out of the rain. Wish I had ordered the saganaki, they definitely know how to serve it there with maximum flameage!! Abandoned relic This is an amazing place to see a show if you're in Detroit! By steps of marble fountain to the Not my fav building...but it's Detroit Located in Midtown Detroit the Inn on Ferry Street are four beautifully restored Victorian mansions and two carriage houses. The bed and breakfast was extremely comfortable and the breakfast spread was wonderful. You can book a room here: http://www.innonferrystreet.com/ If you ever have the chance to see a show at Detroit's Fox Theater, I highly suggest it! Not only will you enjoy a performance, but you'll have the chance to appreciate the beauty of the building! #localgem Even Mojo had a good time #architecture The old amtrack Detroit train station, luckily being restored... I am so happy that our waiter the night before told us to come here for coffee and breakfast. The coffee is delicious as was the food and it's really a nice spot to pass the morning. It's super cosy, bright and the servers were friendly - love it #Detroit #cafe #corktown #restaurant Lovely little lighthouse with a rather pretty trail. In the heart of downtown Detroit, a city that had fallen from its former glory has begun to rebuild at an exponential pace. New shops and and restaurants are popping up every day. New streetlamps and patched roads continue to restore Motor City to a commercial, social, and historical destination. Most of all, a renewed sense of hope erodes at outdated stigmas, paving the way for a brighter future. #Detroit #MotorCity #comeback #nevergiveup #rebuild #hope #LifeAtExpedia That's right folks. Only in the D can u find One of the best places in Detroit to enjoy a pint. The Grand Trunk Pub occupies the old Trunk Rail Road's ticket station and is located in the heart of downtown Detroit, The building still showcases the early 1900’s architecture and beautiful 25 foot vaulted ceilings and chandeliers. And most importantly the beer selection is very pro-Michigan, as all beers on tap are from the Mitten state. The 184 ft Shepard Fairey Mural on the back of the Compuware Building downtown can be seen from any place on Gratiot Ave from the northeast but the very best view is from the People Mover. If you go before August 15/15, you can see his exhibit at The Library Street Collective - it's fabulous! #ShepardFairey #Detroit #streetart #mural #Detroit is home. A city of growth and inspiration. Every time I'm home I find the reason for my hustle. The People Mover is an automated train that circles the perimeter of Downtown Detroit, connecting most of the major hotels and attractions. It's only 75cents to ride and it's one of the best ways to take pictures of downtown. I could have stayed on all day. #Detroit #PeopleMover #transit #USA Downtown Detroit taken from the area in front of the Comerica stadium. Preparing for the Ford Fireworks along the Detroit River overlooking Canada, downtown Detroit and the Ambassador bridge. A beach in the middle of the city. Fun times. #beach #sand #detroit Amazing spot in a very unlikely parking garage. Canadian Club distillery. One of magnificent old churches in Detroit High Five!! Saw on the walk from tailgating Going on an evening stroll along Riverside Dr. overlooking the Ambassador Bridge that connects with Detroit. True statement!! In a run down city like Detroit it's fortunate we're still able to find some beautiful architecture #designs #detriot #michigan A nice place for microbrew and pizza! Head up to the rooftop...and drink! Green Dot Stables. Adorably cute (my cousin laughs at me for calling food cute) sandwiches...mini pulled pork, mini philli steak...everything $3 and under. But don't let that fool u, it can add up. Awesome atmosphere. LOVE their lemon cheesecake!! Crazy used and rare book store in Detroit. 5 floors including the basement. It's incredibly overwhelming but with all these books you'll be able to find something! Books are individually priced and some are pretty spendy so check the inside page before heading to checkout. Lots of street art to be found in the Z Lot. Plus a pretty nice view of downtown Detroit. The great Coney-Dog-Off occurs on Lafayette Blvd in downtown Detroit and this is the clear winner. American Coney Island was once owned by brothers - they had a big fight - and one of them moved next door and opened Lafayette Coney Island, forging a great rivalry! For us, there is no comparison - the American dog is the best! Park in the Art -- very cool. Didn't have time to go to every floor Campus Martius Park occupies two square blocks in the commercial center of Detroit's downtown. In the winter a skating rink occupies the park and in the summer concerts and a variety of outdoor activities are always happening. The park also acts as a crossroads to all the other major downtown activity. Love the ceiling in this theatre... So beautiful We had this duck confit hash with fried egg and Korean BBQ Sauce at about 9am, which should be way too early for such a thing but it was a great dish to share over coffee. Would love to go back and try the duck reuben. This started out as a weekday breakfast/lunch spot to serve the people working downtown but got so popular that they are opened weekends as well #Detroit #restaurant #downtown #brunch #breakfast I think that out of all of the places we ate at in Detroit, Chartreuse was our favourite. Chef Doug Hewitt makes vegetables so sexy that you won't even care if you eat any protein. That said, our steak was incredible too. #Detroit #ChartrueseKitchen #restaurant This was the first place we went to when we go to Detroit and after restaurant and bar hopping all night, we ended up back here with friends and closed the place. Wonderful food like that tuna tartare and burrata plate and addictive Moroccan Spiced Cashews would certainly make a regular out of me if I lived closer #Detroit #restaurant #downtown Beware of the zombie birds lol Noticed this one day during the summer. I love Billy Holiday ❤ Cool gate The BEST tacos in Detroit! In my humble opinion. I think they may use crack in their recipe bc I crave these all of the time!! RenCen from the Hilton in Windsor. Best views of Detroit. See this place u must Best best best pizza!!! But expect a line. It is worth the wait Very cool Detroit Memory Cloud at the DIA. The D:Hive is a welcome center right in the heart of Detroit's downtown. The center aims to make a personal connection with it's visitors and the city of Detroit. Free walking tours are available on the weekend to learn about the rich history of Detroit's downtown. There are also a number of other tours showcasing the city. For all information visit their website at: http://dhivedetroit.org/ The Canadian Geese in Michigan are tough. They spend time out in the open during snow storms and all Winter long. #snow Motown #architecture Alabama Shakes ~~ Not a bad seat in the house! Hanging out at the GM building. It's like going to a car show. Great view of the river too. We almost skipped this Midtown restaurant after being turned away the night before but I am glad we went back and gave it a second try. This immensely popular eatery seems to always be packed so unless you make a reservation, go soon after they open to at least snag a seat at the bar. We shared the steak tartare and charred octopus with a glass of rose. Our waiter was great, the place is lovely with a laid back atmosphere Don't miss out on seeing this amazing display of true street art and community spirit on a street in Detroit's East Side. It was actually a bit overwhelming and was much more moving than I expected #HeidelbergProject #Detroit #art #streetart #urbanart Picture of the Ambassador Bridge on the Canadian side. Detroit View of Detroit Right behind Joe Louise Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings, you'll find a small park with a walking path along the Detroit River. Here you can see a full view of the Ambassador Bridge that connects Michigan with Windsor, Canada. #PregameViews #transcontinental #sunset #LifeAtExpedia #BVStrove Woodward! 💜 Detroit skyline at sunset. This is the view from the Detroit river. Love finding Ouizis work all around the city 😍 Crazy place Discovered these on my way to the Tiger's game today. Needed to be shared ;0) Only in Detroit Yes Warning! Where science, technology, and coffee beans come together to make an excellent cup of coffee. The view from a crumbling business into an active one. Holiday lights in Downtown Detroit! 😊 #BVStrove Check out the El Guapo website or Facebook page to figure out where this taco truck is going to be for the day! They have delicious tacos, burritos, and guac and chips for reasonable prices! Love getting food here before class when they are on Wayne State's campus! #localgem I was expecting a nice little art show but what I found was spectacular. All types of people lined the streets waiting to get in. Once in, there was music, dancing, and of course...art. Free drinks as well! Worth a trip to Detroit to see! Old church We needed some comfort food so we headed over to Maccabees in Midtown. I'd say we found it - Potato pancake sandwich filled with corned beef. Very humid summer day on Belle Isle looking back at the skyline. #detroit #belleisle #michigan
