THINGS TO DO IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN Established in 1801 Detroit was home to many Indian tribes that you can see with some of the neighboring cities names and the best things I can say about a visit to the Motor City are it’s historical values. There are many places to visit and each one of them has lots of history behind it. If you travel up interstate 75 north for several hours you will come across many Indian reservations that they were awarded by the government for the effect they had on building this nation. Sports Teams You can begin with Joe Lewis Arena the home of the Detroit Red Wings since 1979 they recently opened Little Caesars Arena in September 2017, which is the home of the Detroit Pistons and the Red Wings. As you walk south down the famed Woodward Ave you will see the Home of the Detroit Tigers Comerica Park and just around the corner is Ford Field the Home of the Detroit Lions. In early 2018, all four major sports teams reunited back in Detroit for the first time in nearly 25 years, which has brought millions in revenue back to the Motor City. Theaters Further across the street you will see The World Famous Fox Theater, which has been a stage for many of the past and present superstar performers. It is the host to lots of thing such as, comedy shows, concerts, and kid events. Just about every entertainer from every generation has performed in this theater. Gambling Detroit is also the largest inner city that has legalized gambling. They have three hotel casinos, The Motor City, Greektown, and the MGM Grand casino. You can relax at either one of these resorts and have a great meal, place a bet, get a massage, listen to live music, or just mingle among the fabulous crowds that gather at any of these venues on a daily basis. Museums You can view first hand the lab where Tomas Edison had his first light bulb moment or even the workshop where the Wright Brothers reached the sky. These are some of the features of Greenfield Village. The facilities are over 80 acres wide with shops, dining, and events. Henry Ford Museum is another one of the attractions of The Metro Detroit area it has artifacts, exhibits, and some of the greatest innovations in American History. They have daily tours that include a guide through the Rouge Ford Factory. You get to see first hand Ford Trucks being made from the ground up until they roll off the assembly line and stored to be transported to dealers around the world. You can even view the first Model T or jump on a steam-powered locomotive to visit animals around the compounds. There's the Detroit Institute of Arts you can visit to see Priceless works of art. The Michigan Science center, the Charles H Wright Museum are two other museums in metro Detroit that house many works of art. Last but not least you have to visit the Motown Museum where all of the Motown artists started their entertainment lives. Berry Gordy is one of the most famous names in the world of music and he started his label right there on West Grand Blvd. in the heart of Detroit. Some of the artists that started there were Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Jackson Five, and The Four Tops. There are daily tours that take you into this historic building to see where these sounds all began. Restaurants The first class dining in Detroit is one of my favorite parts of the city. You can start off by strolling to Mexican town just down interstate 75 South to Clark Street. Or you can head to the downtown area to Greektown and enjoy some of the best Greek cuisine in the world. Once again there’s the three casinos where you can have breath taking meals at also. In my opinion I would say that there are great places you can dine at after nearly every turn of the steering wheel in Detroit. Image Most of all I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I have resided in the same home since I was four years old and every one of those years have had it’s share of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything in the world. This city has taught me so much about growing into a man and how to turn a negative into a positive. The men and women of Detroit each have a saying that to do anything means that it must be done correctly and this applies to every part of life. Detroit is full of blue-collar workers that go into the factories of Ford Motor, General Motors, and Chrysler on a daily basis and has helped to build this country into what it is today. Each one of these motor companies have a slogan that has Detroit in it's saying. Starting with Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit", General Motors "Detroit's Strong as a Rock", and finally Ford's "Detroit Raises the Bar". A few years ago, when President Obama was in office the three auto companies got into a financial jam and they were bailed out by Obama's Administration to save these American jobs. That turned out to be one of the best things that any modern day President could have done. He was apposed with strong opposition from most Republicans in office, but at the end of the day the loans were paid back and in record time by all three auto companies. Best of all those factory workers jobs were saved by this action and the Motor City was kept alive, well, and still prospering because of this action by a revolutionary President.
[March 24th, 2279] I'll be Ready in a Minute (Part 2)
Part 1 Part 3 [M] Eh, needed to post something between studying calc, had to do something that wouldn't take a lot of thinking. The four of us are taking a day off from scavenging in this MIST, we decided a relaxing day of exploring Detroit was long overdue, though we still brought our masks, the MIST is still in more places that it should be. I don’t know why we thought strolling through this city would be a good idea. Or why we called it “relaxing”. Oh and a little side note, we ran into a bit of trouble yesterday where I couldn’t get close, so now they’re making me carry a gun at all times. Carlos wanted me to carry a full sized semi-auto shotgun, I talked him down to a sawed off one. It’s more my style. Hell, we’re still walking around in our gear. “Never know when trouble will pop up” Jim said. He’s probably right. After some debate we decided to go to the MGM, the Royal’s home base and hangout. Why? Supplies. There’s a shitload of shops there, whatever we need can usually be found there. We walk through the doors, guards starting us down. Must be the augmentations, makes folks nervous. “We’ll meet back here in a few hours. If you run into trouble that you can’t handle, call out for one of us, if you can handle it… You know the rules here, subdue them and let the guards handle the rest.” I say They nod and head off. I make my way through the crowd and look for an “antique” weapon shop. So knives, swords, spears… All that good shit that most people overlook because they’re only thinking of gunfights. I finally find what I’m looking for, there’s a shopkeeper with a plethora of weapons behind him. “Welcome to my shop, how can I help you?” He greets me cheerily, must be because most people don’t play him any mind. “Hi, I have a weapon that I need sharpened,” I hand him my sword “And I was wondering if you had anything for just slashing, this one is fine and dandy for taking limbs off but I need one that just cuts, you know?” He nods. “I’ll let you take a look while I sharpen this. Don’t get any ideas about stealing, there are guards everywhere.” “Wouldn’t dream of it.” I say as he steps into the back to sharpen my sword. I look at the sword rack. Lots of hulking things that wouldn’t be practical. One catches my eye, I think they called them Shamshirs, looks like it’d be great for just making cuts. He walks back out. “Good as new, this’ll cut through shit like it’s butter. Find a sword you liked?” “Yeah, this one.” I hand him the one I chose. “Can I try it out?” “Yeah, follow me, I’ve got a setup in the back for testing.” His test area is a cooler full of dead animals. Well, it’s a pretty good thing to test. Something catches my eye though… “Is that a person?” I ask. “Yup. I request bodies every now and again. Usually the guards have some from thieves or the loser of a fight.” I laugh “Well, that’s the best way to test this thing, one the intended target.” “Give that one a try, come back out front when you’re done.” “Will do” And I do exactly that, this beautiful weapons does its job perfectly. I head back out front. “So how much do I owe?” “2500 caps for the sword and sharpening, I’ll even clean the Shamshir for free.” Steep pricing. Well, he’s gotta make a living I guess. “Sounds good.” I grab five bags of 500 caps. “There should be 500 caps in each of those. I count very carefully.” He laughs, takes the bags, cleans up the sword and hands both back to me. “Have a nice day, thanks for the business!” “Anytime.” A lot of people think I’m mad for preferring melee weapons to guns. They usually stop thinking that by the time my blade passes through them. Then again, they usually stop thinking period when that happens. I meet up with the others a couple hours later, they all bought their own shit. Guns, ammo, various supplies. Carlos was clearly the only one of us who was thinking practically because he bought food and medical supplies. We step outside and are greeted by some thugs. “We saw you buy that expensive sword. Give us all of your shit and we won’t have to kill you!” One shouts. Jim opens his mouth to speak but I stick my arm out in front of him. “That was honestly pathetic guys. ‘We saw you buy some expensive thing, clearly signifying you have skill, give us your shit and we won’t hurt you’? Really? That’s pathetic.” I say. “How dare you! We’re plenty tough and skilled!” “I doubt that.” Two shots fly past me and land in two of the thugs. I run up to the last one and make short work of him. Two quick cuts across his chest and he’s down. Damn, this is already paying for itself. He slumps down, silent as he bleeds out. “Amateurs through and through.” Jim spits. “Damn shame they have to keep throwing themselves at us. Wasting their lives and our bullets.” Maddie says. “I’m sure they were very good at playing thug, they just weren’t good enough for the big times.” I joke. “Yeah, let’s head back. I’ve had enough excitement for today.” Carlos says.
