I'd been intrigued by the bar since I moved to Detroit five years ago, but it took me a while to check it out. It's located in the heart of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Corridor" target="_blank">Cass Corridor</a>, and is considered one of the &quot;seedier&quot; areas of the city. I used to work in the (now defunct) food co-op garden which is right around the corner, so I felt just as comfortable and safe in that part of town as I did in any other neighborhood, but I'd never taken it upon myself to find out what the bar was all about.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/post/so-many-reasons-to-love-detroit">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/post/so-many-reasons-to-love-detroit#comments Bitch on Wheels dance parties Detroit events fundraising midwest on the road Sat, 03 May 2008 22:23:38 -0400 Debbie Rasmussen 364 at http://bitchmagazine.org
