The Bell Isle Conservancy opened earlier this year to so many great expectations. And to my…read moresurprise, not only that they meet those expectations, but they surpassed it. The conservancy is free to enter and the volunteers that dedicate their time are truly passionate about this project. You go through a range of ecosystems diving into some cool tropical plants or desert succulents and you can super admire what is coming your way. Their orchid area is quite stunning. And encompassing it all is the most beautiful dome that I believe was designed by Albert Khan. I am quite obsessed with the spot, as it propels you into nature - surrounded by this greenery. It's a great place to bring your loved ones and friends and take a stroll and just feel a little better at the end of your walk.

The Model-T Automotive Heritage Complex, Inc., aka the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, was organized in 2000 as a nonprofit to preserve the Plant & keep it from being demolished. It's a museum & education center offering special programs & events. There are weddings here on weekends. In 1996 it was dedicated & was placed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. We spent about 2 hrs here & looked out the window at how part of this factory was converted to apartments. Over 1,600 men worked here over 100 years ago manufacturing Fords. There are over 65 rare automobiles including Henry Ford's "Letter Cars," unique Model T conversion vehicles, and other antique cars manufactured in Milwaukee Junction. We visited Henry Ford's office and Secret Experimental Room where the Model T was created in 1908. We experienced one of the world's oldest surviving automotive plants through a guided tour led by museum docents.

Some on Dequindre, too. New huge Asian grocery store in the mall at John R and Whitcomb. The Lantern Festival is truly a community offering---lots of REAL Chinese food, traditional dance and songs along with some Western, maybe a Yo-Yo, Tai kwon do or Tai Chi demo, ., a raffle, all done by community members. There are also hands-on activities like Calligraphy, candy -pulling, good luck knot tying, and more. You really won't feel like you're in Madison Heights. In fact, when I posted on FaceBk some pix I took, friends asked when I went to China. It's a lot of fun to go....and a good place to take children for a global experience.

Cooooooooool! This place rules…read more Awesome letter press studio in Eastern Market. Full of delightful pressings of designs of a Detroit, Michigan, and general whimsical nature. Eastern Market Flower Day, Nothing Stops Detroit, and Tigers are heavily featured as are food centric prints. My favorite is a print of hens with a caption of, "Thanks for the eggs, ladies!" Super cute. Prints are a reasonable price ($20-40) given that letterpress equipment is SO expensive. Speaking of the equipment, they've got some bodacious stuff in there. If you're a printmaking nerd like me you will totally get all hot and bothered. Not really an expert? No worries. They also offer workshops and events (lectures and such) that will help you get learned in no time! But if you don't want to do the work they also offer custom orders and such to get you exactly what you want or need.

The art house worked with Maybury State Park to have a group of local artists go for 3 days and produce paintings that shows the beauty and places in the park. Most did 3 or 4 paintings in different type of mediums depending on the artists strengths. The group went to the Live @ 5 Reception that opened the exhibit. Tickets were $35 for non members. Appetizers, 2 drink tickets, and live music from a harpist and a flute player from the Michigan Philharmonic. You also got to look at the art, shop the gift shop, meet some of artists and see the awards given out for the top pieces. A pleasant way to spend part of an evening talking to other art lovers and enjoying a cool summer evening while helping out a local organization that supports the arts. Looking forward to the event in September.

Viewing the exhibit is free of charge but donations are welcomed. The current exhibit is "Art That Pushes Boundaries" featuring the work of local artists. In addition to the exhibit, I noticed that a painting canvas kit was available for donation. The art house offers in-person classes including visual art training. Wouldn't it be nice if every town had an art house with exhibits and art education programs like this one? This is a wonderful community resource and I will be stopping by whenever there is a new exhibition.

This is a review for a rental and repair, not a tour. I was biking with friends on the Riverfront…read morewhen one of them got a flat. We thought going to Wheelhouse to rent a bike or get the tire repaired seemed like a good idea. We showed up just as they were opening at 11am. The employees pull out the rental bikes and lock them up as part of their opening routine. My friend and I were waiting off to the side when the employee came over and said we were in their spot for their bikes. Ok, so we moved to a different location, she came over and said you're still in our spot. Ok, we moved further away, only to have her come over and tell us to move again. I get they have spots to put the bikes, but after the 2nd time, couldn't she have just pointed out a place for us to wait instead of telling us to move yet again? It was pretty irritating. So they open at 11, but apparently they cannot help you until they've pulled out all their inventory and locked it up outside the shop. We asked about a rental and she just kept saying - I'm busy - I can't help you until I'm done here. We asked well how long are you going to be? She didn't know, but just kept saying I'll get to you when I'm done. We said - well what about getting the tire fixed - how long do you think that might take? Same answer. Don't bug me, I'm busy pulling all the bikes out, and I don't know. Wow. What a crazy process. You show up when they open - but then stand around for 25 minutes while they prep the shop. Maybe do that before your opening time so you can actually HELP a customer when they show up at opening time. Finally, they were done and my friend asked about renting a bike and they showed her the options. She picked one and they got her set up. She was irritated because she's a seasoned biker and they treated her like an idiot. Again, some basic communication with her would have let them know she knew how to bike and that would have helped with set up. Finally, they agreed to fix her flat while we were gone. When we returned her flat was fixed, we returned the rental and were on our way. We were all really frustrated at the poor customer service and kept laughing about how poorly they handled the situation and the long wait just to get waited on. The bike was fine and the flat was fixed, thus the 2 stars.
