Detroit, Michigan, has a great waterfront.
I took these photos of the city's waterfront earlier this spring during a visit to Belle Isle, and I immediately thought of them as I read a recent rant from @bugsyrocker on Twitter about a clueless advertiser on Facebook that placed Detroit on Lake Michigan!
Bugsy immediately called the advertiser on their depiction of Detroit's waterfront as a beach-like paradise. His blog post about the ad, his complaint, and the advertiser's response placing Detroit on a lake 170 miles away from the city makes for interesting reading to say the least.
Anyway, for everyone's edification, these shots are of the Ambassador Bridge (which spans the Detroit River between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada) and a skyline shot of Detroit featuring the RenCen building.
Check out Great Lakes maritime lore lives on at Detroit's Dossin Great Lakes Museum here at Midwest Guest for more about Detroit and its maritime history.
Thanks to Debbie Dubrow of Delicious Baby for creating and coordinating Photo Friday to link travel photos and blog posts across the Web.
