Detroit tourist offers ideas on how to market Detroit to tourists

I've said this before, but I'm a strong believer in the CityPass. I don't think it's a silver bullet, but I think it would do wonders for at least pointing tourists in some direction when they ask, "What is there to do in Detroit?"

A lot of good suggestions, esp. about the souvenirs with Diana Ross, etc. image on them; however, that may require copyright clearance and sharing of royalties with the singers.

And yes, stop tearing stuff down -- unless you're going to rebuild immediately.

Motown [[or, more to the point, the holders of their properties) are incredibly stingy with their rights, and charge a ridiculous premium for them now. Even Esther Gordy Edwards and the staff at the Motown Museum had to battle with them - not always successfully - for several things exhibited and sold there.
