When Berry Gordy Jr. built a studio in
this famous "Motor City" and put a sign on his new company, entitled
"Hitsville USA", an entire new genre of music was born. The sound of
Motown. Creating household names such as Smokey Robinson, Stevie
Wonder, Marvin Gaye and The Supremes. Since its heyday in the 50s
and 60s, Detroit has been through some tough times. But things are
currently on a real upswing, a perfect time to catch the city. Check
out Greektown, packed with all things Mediterranean and the theatre
district for upmarket bars and restaurants. The suburbs are also
good for clubs and bars. See Ann Arbor, Pontiac, Royal Oak and
Birmingham for the best. On the tourist front, catch the Detroit
Institute of Art or the Henry Ford museum. On
