Downtown in the D

We are The D- - Uncovering the Gems of Downtown Detroit!

Detroit has plenty of aliases- Motown, the Motor City, Hockeytown and The D- and they are all part of who we are. Detroit has had a colorful past and now the city's motto, "we hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes" is true today as it was more than 300 years ago. We are urban and edgy in a Midwestern way. New life has visibily breathed into the downtown area, and it is currently experiencing one of the largest urban development booms in the country. New businesses are finding homes in old buildings; from restaurants and retail to new lofts and condominiums, more young urban professionals continue to flock to the city to experience the sights, events, attractions, and to be a part of the renaissance. The people of Detroit have an undeniable love and sense of pride for this tried and true city, and it can be seen around every corner.
