Ahoy,

i've been a lurker and occasional poster here for 4 or 5 years, and i've gotten a lot out of the experience. I'd like to ask for some input from y'all:

I'm a social work student, and this saturday i'm taking out-of-state students on a tour of the city. I want to show them some of the obvious sites [[downtown, MCS, Cass Corridor, Belle Isle, Packard Plant, 12h and Clairmount) but also some examples of what makes our city unique. I plan on going to the Heidelberg Project, Georgia Street Community Garden, Solanus Center, People's Community Services and the Children's Center. Any other ideas? basically, i want to show them that we're not all gun-toting drug dealers, and there is a large community of people who absolutely care about the well-being of Detroit and Detroiters.

any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
