detroit rock city

I’ve spent the last couple days at Caesars Casino. It’s quite a sight. The carpets in casino’s are a real piece of work.

You may not have really thought about it or noticed before, but you should.  He who designs casino carpets must be out of this world or on some really good drugs.

Windsor is a bit of a crummy looking place. It’s not nearly as shiny and bright as Toronto, however, they’ve got a nice bar of you like strippers. Babe alert, saw a few hotties. No photos, I wish. Sorry.

Got hassled at the border as I’m using my new Zealand passport. Not fun. US Border Patrol now has my finger prints and nice smiley photo of me.

I was shocked and kind of appalled of the huge fist in Detroit. What is the significance of it? PLEASE tell me.

Oh thanks Internet…It’s a 24-foot bronze fist, which is poised as if to strike, honors legendary boxer (and Detroit native son) Joe Louis. [Dear God, please, please let me have a better statue that a big fist to remember me by if I ever have have one. Thank you.] The artist is really a comedian I think.

I enjoy going  through tunnels. I always think about movies where people get trapped in them and it gets all dramatic and stuff. I said “oh, I’d hate to get trapped in here” and then the next day, coming back to Canada, we hit traffic in the tunnel. It wasn’t scary though. The nav system showed us as in the middle of the water, that was a little scary. haha.

That’s all for now.

    my dad lives in michigan so i go there a bunch of times..every few months. the reason why the carpets are so trippy is because they make them not attractive on purpose so you don't look down while walking. and they make the roof so ugly so you don't look up while walking. you stare striaght – looking at the games..it's a mind thing. my friend is the gm at that honest lawyers, too.

    I tried to make the carpet prettier by laying down on it 🙂 p.s. I didn't gamble ONCE!

    The First is a replica of Joe Louis'. Louis was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1937 to 1949 and a Detroit native. They also named the Hockey Arena (just down the street from the first) after him.

    Informative, but what do you think about the big fist?

    I think it shows a great sense of pride for the City. Kind of like the statue of “Rocky” does in Philadelphia.

    I understand the pride but to me, a stature of a big fist is just pure hilarity!!
