WINTER / SPRING 2025 33 Grab your mittens to visit Michigan this winter. Detroit is having a recent renais- sance as investment in infrastructure, especially downtown, has attracted an influx of visitors and residents eager to live in an affordable and resilient city. Detroit's no stranger to change. e once-bustling birthplace of the automo- bile filed for bankruptcy in 2013. Ten years later, things are getting better—as indicated by 2022's population increase, the first time Detroit has grown since 1957. Book a flight and visit the city that brought us techno music, Motown Re- cords, the Cadillac, and Coney Island hot dogs (seriously!). Creativity thrives in this city nestled on Lake St Clair. Here's a fun fact: Did you know if you go south from Detroit, you're in Canada? Baseball fans, tickets to a Tigers game are in order. e Detroit Athletic Club is located right across the street from Comerica Park. e Mariners play at the Tigers this July! Rather watch football? As of press time, the Lions were the third most-likely team to win Super Bowl LIX. Grab some seats at Ford Field, also across from the DAC, for the 2025 season. Expand your visit with a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts, home to one of the county's most significant collec- tions, including larger-than-life frescoes by Diego Rivera. Twenty-seven panels illustrating the automotive industry span the central court and are designated a National Historic Landmark. Cultural enthusiasts should also book a tour of the Motown Museum. Located in the original recording studio for Mo- town Records, this landmark celebrates sound, talent, and famous musicians who played with the label, including Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, and e Jack- son 5. And don't miss American Coney Island, a hot dog stand serving sausages topped with chili, mustard, and sweet chopped onions. It's a Detroit delicacy!
