Part 2 of our weekend getaway in Michigan landed us in Detroit. It was hard for us not to swing by considering how close it was to Grosse Point. We went out for brunch and enjoyed our time there before deciding on the last minute. We had some time to kill, but didn't want to drive out too late once it got dark. Our friends led us into the city as we watched people tailgate for football Sunday. We were impressed by the up and coming businesses arriving to the Motor City, and even past by the Chrysler plant along the way. But the abandoned buildings and lots is what blew our mind. I've never seen such a vast vacant city in my life. It felt weird but hopefully in a few years, that won't be the case.
We ended up in downtown Detroit and decided to stop by a café to load up on caffeine before driving back to Chicago. We miss our friend very much and this trip assured us she'll be fine in Michigan with her new family. Next time we promised to explore more of the neighboring towns surrounding Grosse Point!
