If you are a dedicated Detroitophile, and you get a rush discovering off the beaten path/unique clubs, social gatherings and businesses, Detroit Blog is a must view/read for urban explorers and Detroit enthusiasts. One blog in particular described an investigation of the former Motown building in which artifacts and a reciept for a fur coat [[purchased by Marvin Gaye) were recovered. In an office building some files from legal cases from many decades past were found in legible condition; I cant recall the name of the building but it was at one time a downtown Federals? dept.store. Detroitblogger John chronicles encounters with ordinary and entrepeneurial Detroiters who advertise Racoons-Coons for sale on crudely written signs,and sell handmade puppets or offer a service of some sort or another.

His writing style can be very humorous and entertaining, one example being the time he encountered 'hobos' who were annoyed at having been interrupted smoking crack.

Detroitblog gets a two thumbs up five star review from TerryH.!
