Hot Rods Stuck in Detroit with nothing to do

I'm in Detroit for a few days and need something to keep me busy for the next few Evenings. Anybody have any suggestions? I am staying in Troy.

Thanks,
Mike

The Henry Ford museum, Greenfield Village

well, not really "evening" things to do, more like all day

 

non HAMB related..... Go to the Black Lotus Brewery in Clawson

 

You could go look at all the places where jobs used to be.

 

Are these things that can be done after hours? I forgot to mention that I am here for work so I'm not free until after 5.

you could drive around and explore the ruins of Detroit

 

the Black Lotus is a bar, so, yes, after 5 is good...

Rent a car if you don't have one...drive around, you'll find some interesting stuff around there...

R-

 

That's my goal for tomorrow. I just don't know where to go. I really don't want to end up in the wrong neighborhood while I'm exploring.

PM Denise aka hotrodladycrusr, she will know everywhere to go, and what to see

Also, hit GreekTown

 

Go punch that douche bag son from the Hardcore Pawn show. And don't get murdered.

 

But if a bunch of guys want to put you in a conga line,.. thats a bad idea.

 

Greektown, hard rock cafe if you're into theme restaurants, chelly's chili if you are a chili or hockey fan, there is alot to do, really.

 

I would get a guide for detroit. save some time. I am going to greenfield for fathers day. I guess there is a indy exibit. motor something.

Motor Muster this weekend if your around. 18-19.

 

I fly home on the 17th. I told the boss I won't miss the roadsters show.

I guess I'm spoiled. At home there is always a cruise night within 30 min drive time.
