Here's a picture I took yesterday in Greektown (visit their website at http://www.visitgreektown.com/) . There are plenty of new restaurants and attractions here, as well as the new Greektown Casino-Hotel, which is the blue building on the far end of the block. Take a stroll through and have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants, have a drink at one of the bars, or even worship at Second Baptist Church (the church I'm standing next to when I took this picture), Old St. Mary's Catholic Church (the steples are seen beyond the stoplight), or Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. The Five Guys restaurant just opened up in late March, and it's been a good crowd stopping in to have a bite to eat during the week and on weekends. It was densly populated when I took this picture, but when the Tigers, Lions or Red Wings have a home game, or there is a festival or other special event downtown, it's usually bustling with activity. There are various ways to get to and from Greektown. It's accessible by the top streets, and I-75 is right nearby. There's a People Mover station adjacent to Greektown Casino, located inside Trappers' Alley, and it's 50 cents to ride. There's also the Ouzo Cruizo, which is the Greektown Shuttle, and shuttles from Fishbones restaurant and The Old Shillelagh, located just west of where this picture was taken on Beaubien and Monroe. I hope you get to visit here sometimes. I enjoy coming here.
