Prepare yourself for quite a sight! The North American International Auto Show is coming to Detroit! The North American International Auto Show runs January 13th-27th, 2007! Call (313) 877-8777 for times and ticket information.

From personal experience, this is quite a trip! I have been to the North American International Auto Show for the past 3 years. I am not a car buff in any way. However, I thoroughly enjoy this auto show and look forward to it year round! There is something for everybody here! I personally enjoy having my picture taken by a high quality camera at no charge! It's just one of the ways the North American International Auto Show is allowing its visitors to capture the luxurious moments spent there!

Contrary to popular belief, living in Detroit is quite a positive experience. We all are familiar with the stereotypes of Detroit. In the ghetto? Somewhat. Everybody will get shot? No, by no means. The people in Detroit are extremely friendly. For example, I was walking around enjoying the most recent snowfall only to witness a wealthy business man donating money to a homeless person. Yes, there are homeless people in Detroit... probably more than there are in most other cities. However, please do not let this be a deterrent to coming down to see the beautiful city.

When I tell somebody I live near Detroit, everybody wants to know what 8 Mile is like. 8 Mile is quite infamous as a result of the attention Eminem brought to it. 8 Mile is truly nothing special. It is not a tourist attraction and there are no traces of Eminem to be found anywhere near it. 8 Mile is just a mile road in which everybody drives. No big deal whatsoever.

I stress to you the importance of not judging a book by its cover. Traveling to Detroit will not guarantee your death. However, traveling to Detroit will guarantee many smiles and tilting heads as you look up at the beautiful, towering buildings above.
