My visitors guide to Area revision 6-9-2015

Notes from Wesley Arnold [email protected] unpaid volunteer Friend of The Easiest Language

How to get to Wayne State University area from Metro Airport on the cheap. Takes about 2 hours by buses costs about $2.50 From North Airport Terminal take 125 SMART bus Northbound to Griswold & Congress streets takes 1 hour and 22 minutes has 123 stops, walk 1 minute to Larned get on 610 Bus Southbound 11 minutes get off at Woodward and Warren This is location for WSU.

Is best to walk if distance short. Or Rent a car but parking can be a problem at times and cause a walk of several blocks. Buses are problematic and not very frequent. DOT Bus Fare is $1.50 exact change or card. Seniors and disabled 50¢. Transfer to second route 25¢. Department of Transportation 888 336 8287 or 313 933 1300 www.RideDetroitTransit.com for bus routes and times. Buses take exact change or give change on bus card for future use. North of 8 mile also check South Transp SMART BUSES FARE $2.00 Seniors 50¢ https://www.smartbus.org/ Disabled show medicare card transfer is 10¢ senior or disabled Cabs are not cheap. If several people carpool you can get around better and at least expense. If renting a car there is free and metered parking in many areas 25¢ for 15 minutes most say limit is two hours. Don't know if enforced, probably not. Arrival at Train station is on Woodward Ave. One mile south on Woodward to WSU then east to Ghafari Hall. Or almost 4,000 feet to the International Institute. Woodward Bus to Kirby for International Institute (within 300 feet to east) or exit bus at Kirby and walk across campus 1300 feet west to Ghafari Hall. First check in advance to see if me or others can give you a ride. I live 10 miles away.

Woodward is dividing line between East and West

PARKING can be a nightmare Good News choices are in general order of cost For attendees at International Institute sometimes guests can park free in their small lot next to their building but once that lot is full the next best choice is on the side streets which are either free or metered. There are lots of free spaces within 3 short blocks. Parking meters spaces are numerous. Parking is 25¢ for 15 minutes alleged limit is two hours (I do not know if this is enforced) and you may have to buy a card at one of several roadside kiosks in area to pay. Parking is free from 10PM until 7AM but run out and pay otherwise it is a $45 ticket. One resident told me the meter maid was the only functioning part of the Detroit Police department. Parking is free Sundays at all meters on all public streets. There are two handicapped parking spaces across from International Institute which appear to be free as there is no meter. Here is a parking price finder http://detroit.bestparking.com/ The Red no parking symbol means not open 8-10 Saturday and Sunday

Detroit Public Library sometimes offers free parking for patrons on Saturday. Entrance is on South side of the Big . Putnam, between Cass Ave. and Woodward Ave. You have to go into the library and sign in. You have to exit and sign out before library closes. Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. They don't check your whereabouts in between. Only 2 blocks from the International Institute.

Costumed players and artisans help bring the period alive through demonstrations of period crafts, sports and trades. There are also several opportunities to experience 1800s-era shopping and dining. horse-drawn carriage, vintage-car and steam-locomotive rides. A historic carousel is also available.

From hot dog stands to a fancy Restaurant.

The Henry Ford Museum Contains a collection of artifacts that demonstrate American ingenuity, whether they be every-day household items used by innovators or the products they invented. While the museum’s collection is mostly about cars and vehicles, it’s also about the evolution of America, from air planes to house-hold appliances. The collection is most like the Smithsonian History Museum in terms of type, but the actual museum is actually a big, hangar-type hall with 40-foot ceilings. It is a single level, covers over nine acres and has more of a funky feel than an academic one. Its exhibits are mostly static, but there is usually at least one traveling exhibit, like the James Bond exhibition and Chocolate. Claims to Fame: There is no greater depository of historic cars. Because Museum is about the man’s collection, not the car company’s, every conceivable make and model is on display –- not just form the Ford Motor Company. Exhibits also include mobile homes and bikes. The Dymaxion House was designed by R. Buckminster Fuller and is a 1946 version of the house of the future. Even today, it contains some awe-inspiring innovation. The round house is made out of airplane fuselage and constructed a lot like an umbrella. A tour guide provides some much needed history and unveiling of hidden nooks and crannies. The Heroes of the Sky exhibit covers the early history of aviation. With Liberty and Justice for All is an exhibit that chronicles the history of freedom in the United States. Made in America is an exhibit that showcases American innovation, including the gothic steam engine. Your Place in Time, 20th Century America is an interesting walk through the eras of the 20th century, showcasing the products that defined each. Included is a 1930s living room, complete with a broadcast of Orson Well’s radio program of The War of the Worlds. You may even recognize the first Panasonic VCR, a Simon electronic game and a Pet Rock. The limousine Kennedy rode in when he was shot A 1902 Ford Model-T The Oscar Meyer Wienermobile The Rosa Parks Bus The chair from the Ford Theater in which Lincoln was shot Paul Revere’s tea pots Edgar Allen Poe’s writing desk. Dining: At Henry Ford Michigan Café: A themed cafeteria that offers a vast variety of regional cuisine, including dishes that utilize Michigan cherries, Sander’s Hot-Fudge Cream Puff and Guernsey Ice Cream. Obviously the theme is Michigan. You can’t miss it; a huge mural of the state decorates the lobby leading into the restaurant. The cafeteria offers hot meals and a deli. Unlike many such cafeterias, there are no pre-made burger bins. The dining room is attractive with large windows over looking the museum grounds. Also Wienermobile Café: A small, fast-food type cafeteria in the corner of the hall near the entrance.

Also at the Henry Ford is a tour of The famous Rouge plant. $16. http://www.thehenryford.org/rouge/index.aspx The Tour. Put yourself at the center of sheer manufacturing might.
