GM Plaza and Promenade on Detroit's Riverwalk

The headquarters for General Motors is in the Renaissance Towers on Jefferson downtown adjacent to the Detroit River. The beautiful GM Plaza and Promenade are part of Detroit's Riverwalk and were donated by GM. The fountains are cool and refreshing and irresistible for children on a day like today! There is a free walking tour of the Riverfront sponsored by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and meets every Monday at 1pm at the GM Plaza. You will learn about the buildings, architecture and public art as well as Detroit's History and how Cadillac landed here in 1701.

Walking in Detroit's Winter Wonderland

There are so many wonderful things to see and places to visit in downtown Detroit. You can put together your own tour like this Washington, DC couple did or visit Inside Detroit to arrange for a public tour. You'll find there are 126 bars just steps away from People Mover taking their Discover the Real Detroit Bar Tour. And, you can walk Jefferson to Greektown, catching Ford Field, Comerica Park and back to Campus Martius in 90 minutes while learning so much of the history of Detroit. Don't let the wet wintry weather deter you!
