I’ll be in Detroit from August 25th to September 2nd to visit family. I was thinking of going to watch the race on August 28th. Is anyone going?
Also what car museum do you recommend the most in or around Detroit? I was thinking of hitting the Simeone Museum, but maybe there’s better... Any advice?

Honestly I think the Henry Ford museum is worth stopping at. Not purely a car museum (though a good number of vehicles) but a lot of cool machinery to look at. I’m not a museum person but really enjoyed it.

Why I have I never heard of the Simeone Museum? But I’d recommend the Ford Piquette plant as a fantastic low-key museum. Or the Henry Ford Museum as a great everything museum.

heh, I was just at MIS for a ride-along this past weekend. See the Henry Ford Museum (I work right across the street) and Greenfield Village. And the Automotive Hall of Fame. I’ll be down at the Gold Cup boat races the weekend of the 26th-28th, but outside of that if you want to grab a beer or something let me know.

shit man, I had no idea there was a boat race too ! Now I need to check this out and I’ll definitely try to on saturday. I’ll keep you updated on that. I’ll see for the Henry Ford Mseum, but I think my wife already bought ticket for the Simeone one. I’ll see with her if she wants to see it too.
I’ll let you know for the beer, I might rent a car for a few days, so I should be able to drive around. Meeting up at the boat race if I make it there should be easy :)

well let me know. there’s also tons of awesome Levantine food in Dearborn (duh) so if you want some good eats... and being of partial Polish ancestry I can find some good places in H-Town (Hamtramck.)
Detroit isn’t that scary. there are a few places you don’t want to go, but for the most part it’s just like life. if you don’t go looking for trouble, you probably won’t find it.

Yea, if you’re going for some ruin porn, the belle isle zoo is a better place to start.
