D is for Detroit

Welcome to Day 4 of the Blogging A-Z April Challenge!

Detroit

Everyone talks about how bad & crappy Detroit is.  I'm not going there.  

This is all about the beauty of Detroit. 

The Riverwalk on a nice sunny day is wonderful!

This first bunch were taken a couple years ago.  Angela looks a like a baby (she's 15 now)!

Border Patrol Office
(lining up the lightbar on the patrol car was purely accidental - but awesome!)

Looking up at the Ren Cen

This is outside the Ren Cen - it's a map of the world with lights for the major cities.

Ok, I don't know if he has a Lions one.
