Without further ado, here's another one of my fine Detroit tours...
Looking up at the Renaissance Center, I stayed in the Marriott Hotel...
View of Windsor, Ontario from my room...
Watergarden dome
Tower 300 of the Renaissance Center
Most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in my life, period...

Hockeytown Cafe on Woodward Ave.
St. Johns Episcopal Church
New townhouses appear in the Brush Park Neighborhood, north of downtown and I-75.
Two bombed-out buildings... sadly something that is not uncommon in Detroit
Building in Cass Park slated for demolition
Detroit's Brush Park neighborhood... in this neighborhood, once home to prominent and beautiful Colonial and Victorian-style mansions, it has fallen on hard times, although is seeing some rejuvenation and life...
Unfortunately unkempt houses and burned-out houses like this still linger around Brush Park...
I believe this house is going to be restored...
Two more beauties...

Red Wings practising...
Opening faceoff...
Red Wings score early to make it 1-0 on the power play! Henrik Zetterberg with the goal!
Ducks took a two-goal lead after a goal to make it 3-1, they had to review it, but I thought it went win, unfortunately...
Face-off in the Red Wings zone in the second period...
Red Wings trailing 3-1...
But the Red Wings answer the call! THE MULE (Johan Franzen), makes it 3-2!
Then Tomas Holmstrom ties it at 3-3, after standing in front of the goalie and re-deflecting it in!
Zambonis clearing the ice for the 3rd Period...
Red Wings Bench...
Start of the 3rd period...
After Anaheim made it 4-3 with a five-hole goal by Teemu Selanne, the Red Wings tied it up on another goal by Henrik Zetterberg!
Crowd getting antsy...
Everybody stood the last few minutes of the game...
Less than five minutes in the game, Detroit pressing...
Red Wings continue to press...
While Jimmy Howard holds fort in the other end...
Pavel Datsyuk scores through a crowd over the goalie and wins the game with 11.4 seconds left in the third period!
Red Wings win!!! Congratulating Jimmy Howard!!!!
5-4 Detroit the final!
Pavel Datsyuk the second star of the game...
