$300 cash or a week in Detroit? (Please read OP before answering)

According to the OP, not only would the transportation and drinks be free, you could choose to do/go anywhere within the city and it will be all paid for. For you and a guest, for a week.

If I misunderstood the OP I might have to change my previous answer.

I’ll take the cash - I have no desire to go to Detroit :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll take the $300. Closest I’ve been to Detroit is Dearborn to visit the Ford Museum, but I think it’s outside the city limits.

This. The best thing about Detroit is that it is so close to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn. But, even if Dearborn were ruled out, I’d find plenty to do in Detroit.

Aren’t they just? Rapidly turning into my favorite casino, and close to some really good places to eat.

There’s honestly nothing I really want to do in Detroit proper, so I’d take the $300.

If you name a few things that would be worth a $300 opportunity cost that would be packaged in the deal, then we could talk.

ETA: For what it’s worth, I would probably say the same thing about Vegas. Just doesn’t appeal to me.

I live in Omaha, mate, and it’s a nice town. That said, you would indeed take the $300 unless you’re really into zoos, planes, college baseball, or something specific you’d want to see here.

You mean Comerica Park. Tiger Stadium is nowHarwell Field.

Yes, the beautiful old stadium is town down and the lot is empty. Now volunteers (illegally) keep it up, draw out the chalk lines, and play softball there on the weekends. I took **gonzomax **down there once and we got a fist-sized section of wall. That’s kinda cool, I guess.

It doesn’t quite come with everything.

If it included a license to carry a concealed weapon, a Glock and a few hundred rounds, you could count me in.

Otherwise, I live to spend the $ 300.00

I’ll take the week in the city with the caveat that I get to choose the time of year. I’m thinking sometime in late spring/early summer when the Tigers are in town. Catch a few games, see what else strikes my fancy in the city in the way of restaurants & music, stay in a nice hotel, etc. It’s not a week in Tahiti, but not a bad week in my book.

You’ll hit yourself because you already know this: Dearborn is outside of the city limits, because it’s the city of Dearborn, not the city of Detroit. :stuck_out_tongue:

Michigan is a shall-issue state. Wayne County (which contains Detroit) is sometimes slow to issue, but your legal CCW is still legal there, too.

Of course if you’re there as a tourist, you’re not going to go into the crack ghetto anyway, and you’d very likely be safe without the weapon. Partially that’s because Michigan is a shall-issue state, and partially because the touristy areas just aren’t all that dangerous.

Is a spree shooting a normal vacation activity for you?

Heh. Well, it’s close, isn’t it? Can’t you see Detroit from your backyard if you live in Dearborn? :stuck_out_tongue:

No, I detest guns. But you know, you visit the second most violent city in the United States of America, you go loaded for bear.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in the Detroit AREA, but if I’m confined to the city limits, no way is it worth (to me) passing up $300 cash for.

I work in Dearborn, and if I look out the north window of my building, I sure as heck can see Detroit!
