| Take your family on a cruise to the Ghost communities around Detroit! |
Detroit - The 100 tourists who will visit Detroit on Monday will be different from the city's usual visitors. They'll arrive not by car or bus or train or plane, but by cruise ship. On Monday, the Grande Mariner will become the first cruise ship to dock at the new Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority terminal on the riverfront near Hart Plaza. By coincidence, the port authority will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new $22-million facility Monday, featuring Mayor Dave Bing and Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, among others. The passengers arriving aboard the Grande Mariner already have their sightseeing mapped out, Jamian said. "Believe it or not, they're very excited to see General Motors' world headquarters" in the Renaissance Center, he said. "That's a big draw. Greenfield Village is the second big draw. Detroit is getting a lot of action these days."
I mean maybe this exciting if you're from like Flint? I don't know, I just can't imagine the walk of life you have to be from to think a cruise to Detroit is going to be a good time. Maybe Detroit is tropical to Canadians? If my Dad ever came home and was like "pack your bags kids we're going on a cruise to Detroit!", I'm pretty sure I'd just have rolled my eyes and assumed it was his idea of a joke.
