 Pulsating Center of Nightlife |
Monroe Street Detroit, MI 48226 United States |
In the lean years when downtown Detroit was moribund, Greektown was the only place alive at night, so it's only fitting now that as Detroit revives, Greektown is the jumpingest place downtown. What once was one block of nearly identical Greek restaurants has expanded into a throbbing center of restaurants, clubs, shops and a casino. The indoor mall, Trappers Alley, was an earlier attempt to update the area. The increasingly upscale but still affordable Greek eateries and bakeries, with their succulent baklava and other pastries, still provide the anchor for an increasingly diverse area.

Key Station on Underground Railroad |
441 Monroe Street Detroit, MI 48226 United States +1 313 961 0920 http://www.secondbaptistdetroi... |
Located in the area of Greektown, Michigan's oldest African-American church dates back to 1836. For its first 29 years, it was a key station on the Underground Railroad, sheltering some 5000 slaves in its basement during that time, as they moved towards freedom in Canada. Besides being a leading force in the abolitionist movement, the church was an early advocate of suffrage for blacks and helped dozens of other local black churches get organized. Now it is an important historical landmark, as well as a vibrant community center. Review © 2007, Wcities |
