marko invades Motown.

Thats right. I ventured out of the lovely Commonwealth, with it's mountains and hills and treked west through the absolutely hideous shithole known as Ohio, then to the flat as a board Michigan, where the only hills are landfills.

Spent a few days with my buddy Gas Man, his lovely wife and the real rules of the house, the 3 dogs. Most notably, Sir Brinksus of Ellington the III. We toured the world, ate a ton of food, and I saw Canada (from across the river )

Enough of the talk. On with the pictures.

We arrived Thursday evening (after another fucking blizzard jacked PA with 18" of snow and set our departure time back a couple hours). Had some awesome deep dish pizza for dinner and went back to casa de Gas Man.

The lovely PA turnpike (literally Hiway Robbery with the price they charge)


Tunnel action


Friday we went north to Auburn Hills, ate at a Rainforest Cafe and did some shopping. Then got dessert at some awesome bakery type place in some town I dont know.



Saturday we went to the world famous Biker Bob's HD/Buell. Bought a few shirts and begged my wife to write me a check for the bad ass Carbon X1 they had there. (She wouldn't and didn't)







They also had the coolest truck I've ever seen


Then it was on to D-Town with C-Murder.


Welcome:



Really, overall the city was a ghost town. Very run down and deserted, other than the main road near the ball parks.

Hockey Town USA:




Some weird thing called a "People Mover"


GM building, no not "Gas Man".


Where the Pens won the Cup last year:




Comerica Park


The road between Comerica and Ford Field, home of the 0-16 Lions:



Everyone trying to get the F out of this town and go to Canadia:

Finally, a couple of bad dudes not to be F'd with:


And two lovely wives that put up with our constant bullshit:


I apologize for my crappy photography. I was in a car using my Point and Shoot in near dark conditions. Shoulda brought the SLR.

Shoulda taken pics of all the boarded-up shit only a half mile from downtown.

The crumbing building wasn't enough?

Jigga please. I am talking crumbling due to 20 years of abandonment, not because of a construction company knocking it down.

She's very strict on me not posting pictures of her on the internet. I'm sure if/when she sees that one she'll make me delete it.
