TTAC Imported To Detroit
Ed and Bertel are spending this coming week in Detroit to talk to auto manufacturers.
First impression: I could get a nice fixer-upper in an up and coming neighborhood for a little more than the price of my ticket from Beijing to Detroit. Compared to Beijing prices, this is a steal.
If any Detroit area B&B want to get together, please let us know. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings look good on the calendar.

Another vote for Ann Arbor!
Just stay at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, MI. You won't be disappointed and you can walk around safely. It's why I moved my family there from 8 Mile and never looked back.
For those readers not familiar with metro Detroit (Detroit's suburbs) please don't confuse them with the city of Detroit. There is a night and day difference especially the communities that do not border Detroit. Detroit itself is except for the downtown area a dangerous wasteland. Unfortunately the suburbs are often thought of in the same way by those who have never been here. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our suburbs are as nice as anywhere I've been in the country.
