Grown in Detroit by ellievanhoutte
Since our 'Michigan History' article featured the Detroit Zoo today, it made sense (at least to me) that while there you take advantage of another one of Detroit's great attractions. It seems it would be easy to spend an entire day at the Eastern Market and it's surround area, so [...]

detroit zoo by ercy
Polar bears frolicking in a glass tunnel surrounded by 300,000 gallons of crystal-clear water; kangaroos bouncing about in a simulated Australian Outback; or hundreds of amphibians living in the world’s only amphibian conservation center--a place the Wall Street Journal described as "Disneyland for toads."
