Oh hell, then I was soooo close to it when I was there two summers ago, wandering around Campus Martius Park and the Guardian Building. Thanks for the location, Eric. And welcome to Swirl!

If you're looking for a hotel NOT to stay in, I highly recommend the Roberts Riverwalk. If you're into dark, sketchy parking lots, people running around the lobby and halls at midnight, and broken locks on the doors, then it's the place for you.

Anyone else have any additional things to add to this?
Tops for me would be if anyone knows of a good arcade bar?

I've got a bunch of things I've added to my own list, but an arcade bar isn't one of them. Would fowling do instead?

I have no idea what fowling is.
Mainly just looking for some more fun stuff to do with my wife while in Detroit.

"fowling" sounds like some chickens are going to have a bad day
