Not so fast.... I've taken 8 tour buses full of European tourists thru downtown and the riverfront since 2001... and there's 2 things the folks absolutely love about downtown... the interior of the Guardian Building [[also the Fox when it's available).... and having group pictures taken in front of one of the tiger statues at Comerica Park.

Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder, because most of these European tourists have seen some of the best statuary on the planet [[on their home continent), and for them to find such enjoyment in our "purely American" genre... says volumes more than a few keyboard art critics... no offense...
