Agreed. I stayed there two years ago (can't beat $16/night!), it's okay, as long as you don't expect much more than a bed and an 'interesting' view. However, when someone that lives 5-10 minutes walking distance away insists on driving you home at night, you know that it can be a slightly dodgy area. I didn't have any problems though. Personally, I would recommend out-of-towners to rent a car, you're gonna need one in Detroit (Motor City...duh). That way you can stay in cheaper places and also not be dependent on other modes of transport. Basically the best option is to use Linda G's Techno Tourist Travel Agency :) and stay at the St. Regis: comfortable, central and cheap at $69/night. > the shorecrest is just east of downtown. once again, not the greatest place > in the world, but within walking distance of hart plaza, which is probably > your priority. Plus good greasy grub in the diner around the corner from the Shorecrest, which is a priority the morning after :) BTW, speaking of 313-list event: I remember the audiofiles were going to be put up at Hyperreal. Did that happen and did I miss the URL or is it still in the pipeline? Otto
