President Obama may be making his last trip to Detroit as President to visit the Auto Show and check out the city. It is unimaginable what the auto show would have been like had he not acted vigorously to save GM and Chrysler, so I think he deserves a victory lap.

I'm not sure of when his last visit was, but I know he was here on Labor Day 2011 when I shot this picture on the east riverfront.



That would also be about the time Dan Gilbert was beginning to make his presence felt and the remarkable transformation of Downtown Detroit began in earnest. Much change has occurred in the years since.

If you were the President's guide what would you show him?
