Motor city is revving its engines again. Revitalised and reinvigorated after decades of neglect, Detroit is reclaiming its place as a cultural and tourist capital. Everything in this old Midwestern city seems new again. The Woodward Avenue theatre district boasts renovated theatres and new shows. The Detroit Tigers opened their new stadium, Comerica Park, in 2000; the Lions now play in adjacent Ford Field. Greektown is now the happening place for food and nightlife. Modern Detroit blends the soul and vision of its pioneers: The Motown Museum is a low-key tribute to the high-energy sound that defined a city and an era. Just outside Detroit, the Henry Ford Museum is a sprawling testament to the spirit of invention that built the city and is refuelling it today.
