My husband and I like to eat out, so we are always looking for new restaurants to try. I'll probably also come down for the festivals.

I already hang out down here quite often, but I look forward to more events and activities, like the fireworks, concerts at Chene Park, etc.

The new riverwalk area that was recently expanded. It's just a gorgeous view of the international riverfront.

The Detroit Tigers! Our city is so alive with all of the sporting events and other things going on during the summer. I'd also come down for the ethnic festivals, the renaissance center with all its restaurants and the boardwalk along the river. The proximity to Windsor is another opportunity that I don't know if we explore enough.

There's so much to do now. Downtown is alive again - we're getting new stores, restaurants. There's Campus Martius and the riverfront ... it's the place to be!
