Welcome!
My name is Lisa and this is my little corner of the InterWebz! I have a wide variety of interests and normally write about whatever floats my boat at the moment.
Come along with me and explore the beauty & general awesomeness of Detroit, A to Z ! I've chosen some well known, and some not so well known, places and/or landmarks for each letter this month.
I'll start with one of the most prominent objects in the skyline...
completed in 1929, the Ambassador Bridge connects Detroit with Windsor, Ontario.

This is actually a Detroit Free Press photo of the Free Press Marathon that happens the third weekend October every year. Runners wind thru the streets of Detroit, cross the Ambassador Bridge, run thru Windsor, then back thru the Detroit - Windsor Tunnel.
Beautiful shot of the Bridge!
Wow! I especially like that first, sunset photo. So atmospheric :-)

Isn't it pretty? Usually most of the really beautiful views you see of Detroit are taken from Windsor, but this is downriver.
DeleteMy daughter's law office is in Detroit and within a short distance of the Ambassador Bridge to Canada. I have some shots of it somewhere in my archives. I will enjoy your Detroit theme I know.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your photos!
DeleteGood luck on the challenge this year, I have been on this bridge :) we where heading to Canada for a band trip.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I crossed it was on a high school field trip to see a Shakespearean play!
DeleteIt's a beautiful bridge! I've never visited Detroit, so I'll check back for more travel notes during the challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a place most people decide to vacation at, but it has a lot to offer!
DeleteVery cool! I didn't realize it was so close to Canada. Gorgeous pictures. The runners remind me of the Golden Gate Bridge runs. Looking forward to the rest of your alpha

I actually live a bit north of Detroit, but I'm within 45 minutes of 2 different major border crossings!
DeleteSo excited you're doing Detroit! I think it's so underrated and I know there are some really cool things happening in the city. Happy AtoZ!
ReplyDeleteThe Ambassador Bridge is an Awesome start for your series on Detroit. Amazing photos!
