Located on the near southwest side of the city, close to Tiger Stadium, the Village offers a collection of nightclubs, restaurants, and shops (botanica's). MEXICAN VILLAGE Restaurant is moderately priced, and tacos, en- chiladas, as well as full course Mexican dinners are the main entrees. For the experienced or daring, it also offers a diverse selection of Mexican beers and cocktails. If it's nightspots you want, Detroit has-everything from R&B to New Wave, with low-priced cover charges, or no cover at all. Union Street (located on Woodward near downtown) has classical guitar music in a rustic atmosphere. The Soup Kitchen Saloon (on Franklin, also near downtown) is popular with students, and offers live jazz and blues circuit bands and moderately priced drinks. Alvin's Twilight Bar (on Cass) is rather higher priced, featuring jazz with the most popular groups, and oc- casionally reggae and other types of music. The Gnome (on Woodward) specializes in middle-eastern food with live local entertainment. FOR A CHANGE of pace, the Old Detroit (on Beaubien) has an old time piano bar on Friday and Saturday nights, complete with a sing-along and choice ground round hamburgers. T. J. & Snug is a favorite among the after-theatre crowd for its soups, salads . and casseroles. And the New Wave bars can't be overlooked. 'Bookie's Club 870 (on Mc- Nichols) is easily Detroit's New Wave Palace.

The Detroit- Windsor port authority also operates daily and weekend bus service from downtown. Overpowering the skyline of Detroit as viewed from Windsor is the Renaissance Center-thesymbol of the city's rebirth. This -architectural masterpiece contains stores, a hotel, a post office, office space, and 13 restaurants-including a revolving restaurant on the 70th floor that offers a breath-taking view of the city, and even of Windsor. On the way back to Ann Arbor, the traveler can stop in Dearborn to see the world-famous Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, to relive yester- day's important moments through a vast variety of historical exhibits. TO THOSE UNFAMILIAR with the city, Detroit is divided into east and west sides by Woodward Avenue (Route 1) which leads right into the heart of the downtown riverfront area. Once inside the city, the public tran- sportation is very good with most bus lines operating 24 hours a day at a cost of 60ยข a ride. The city also recently renovated an open double deck trolley, the only one of its kind operating in the world. Detroit is readily accessible to Ann Arbor by either train, bus, or car. Am- trak has daily service to and from the city at about $10 (with a sizeable reduc- tion for those who travel during off peak hours).
