A visit to the Motor City is a visit to what makes America the great nation that it is. The city has gone through hard times in the past but has proudly bounced back. Indeed, though Detroit's economy and auto industry were among the hardest hit after the 2008 recession, the city is amid a great renewal.

Over the last five years, the city’s downtown corridor has seen an explosion in real estate investment. This development is a direct result of the transfer of the mortgage-lending company Quicken Loans to a building overlooking Campus Martius Park in 2010.
Economic growth has returned to Detroit in a big way, manifested by numerous construction projects and the emergence of posh restaurants, parks, and sports arenas. There’s the new communal table restaurant called Gather; the Little Caesars Arena which is the new home of the Pistons and the Red Wings; a new Q-line streetcar traversing Woodward Avenue; and StockX, partly owned by Detroit superstar rapper Eminem, which legit checks and facilitates the selling of sneakers.
Detroit’s Belle Isle is the equivalent of New York’s Central Park. In fact, the “beautiful island” is designed by same person, Frederick Law Olmsted. The nearly 1000-acre giant island-park lies in the middle of the Detroit River and showcases an aquarium, a zoo, a conservatory, a golf course, a yacht club, and plenty of places to bike, jog, fish, or picnic.
It’s only apt that we witness first-hand the resurgence of Detroit in 2018. After all, Lonely Planet did not name the Motor City the second-best city in the world to visit this year for nothing.
