We also created a clickable map to accompany the tour. http://www.soulfuldetroit.com/maps.htm

Take that tour and you will graduate from Detroit Soul 101.

The book "Before Motown" by JimG will fill you in on the history prior to that.
Hi Lowell., I followed all the tours on Soulful Detroit and viewed all the pictures. I never saw the map though. That's a good starting point for me. For a European the distances within the city are HUGE. And the empty lots in downtown Detroit unbelievable. Since space is something we do not have in the Netherlands, either buildings will be renovated or replaced with new ones. And it is simply not allowed to construct in new places. The space between cities has to remain 'green'. So the solution for the Netherlands has been to get out the water and construct there. My house is 2 mtrs below sea level and in Rotterdam that's sometimes 6 mtrs. Amsterdam airport Schiphol is also below sea level. There used to be battles on that spot between ships.
