Reader Reviews
The ultimate guide to Detroit. This book presents the city and surrounding suburbs as only a native Detroiter could. Lots of facts and figures, accompanied by wonderful photographs. Do you know the origin of 8-mile road? Do you know why Ft. Wayne was built? Do you know the history of "The Big Tire?" Do you know Detroit's wealthiest neighborhood? Do you know which buildings Albert Kahn designed? This book is excellent if you are entertaining out of town guests and would like to share some interesting stories about Detroit.
