Here's another article (this one from the LA Times) on how artists are impacting Detroit:
Detroit Evolving into a Haven fro Artists
That an estimated 300,000 people a year now visit the Heidelberg Project alone is really an amazing stat. Until this year it probably had better attendance numbers than the Lions. :)

Good article. Thanks for linking.
We were just in Detroit this weekend and hit a large number of the places mentioned in the article. Been going up there regularly. One of the places mentioned, College for Creative Studies, has had Saturday sessions in auto design which our son totally is loving.
I does bother me some that the article's perspective (and mine) downplay the real issues and problems that have to be solved in Detroit though. As tourists, we can carve out the slice of the city that matches our ideal. Amusingly, it appears residents do so as well - we saw the same woman in three different places on Sat and she was local.

If you want the other slice of Detroit, just watch Hardcore Pawn on Tru TV. ;)
