Detroit, Michigan: Glittering Attractions Along the Detroit River

The city of Detroit, which features 14 miles of coastline along the Detroit River, has interconnected the finest of its waterfront attractions with the opening of the Detroit International RiverWalk. The project’s first phase, known as “East RiverWalk,” is made up of a three-mile series of scenic, interconnected pathways, bike and jogging trails, fountains, and playgrounds. Along this walkway, pedestrians can stroll from the Joe Louis Arena (home of the Detroit Redwings), past the GM Renaissance Center, Tri-Centennial State Park and end up Mt. Elliott Park, all the while enjoying pleasant river breezes while watching the Windsor (Canada) skyline, and views of the ocean freighters passing by.

Seattle, Washington: America’s Contemporary Frontier

Seattle’s history is made up of the stories of adventurers and explorers. In its earliest days the city called to loggers seeking their fortunes in timber. Then tall ships and schooners sailed into Elliott Bay bringing with them sailors who would call the city home. The eventual discovery of gold only added to the city’s appeal. Today the city continues to be an American frontier, where modern-day adventurers have made their fortunes in aeronautics, coffee, high-tech and independent music. And just as Seattle offers a rich tribute to its early beginnings, so does the city provide a diverse and eclectic collection of some of the most contemporary exhibitions, programs and tours in the country.
