Welcome to Detroit!

Detroit, Michigan serves as the epicenter of America's auto industry. According to the latest census, the Detroit metro area boasted a population approaching 5.5 million people. As one of the most northern U.S. cities, Detroit is actually located above a slice of Canada! Here, you can visit the headquarters of the "Big Three" automakers -- GM, Ford and Chrysler. Touring the Detroit auto factories is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and really allows you to gain insights into the industry that literally moves the world around.
Yet as much as Detroit depends on auto manufacturing to support its economy and culture, the city offers many other industrial and artistic riches. Detroit supports burgeoning nanotech firms, the MGM Grand Detroit Casino, and many other up and coming businesses. The city is also famous for its indigenous music scene. Motown (short for "Motor Town") music was born and bred here in Detroit. As of late, the city has also fostered an impressive hip hop tradition. If you are a big sports fan, you have to check out the Detroit Tigers (for baseball) as well as the Detroit Red Wings (for hockey).
