We ended up in Corktown thanks to a local friend who told us (not suggested, told) to go to Slows BBQ. On the way we passed restaurant after restaurant that we kept saying, Next time we come back here. This area has so much potential, and from my understanding, it's going to be the site of a new soccer specific stadium. I can see why they chose this area!

Corktown was safe and very friendly. We were here for the NFL draft, but took an Uber away from the festivities to Corktown. A more quaint walk with lots of little shops and restaurants, it was worth the trip.

How wonderful to see this neighborhood showing signs of revival! I walked around for an hour and did a few sketches of the renovated homes and then had a great lunch at one of the many funky restaurants on the main strip. It’s so exciting to see this after a looong rough patch for downtown Detroit. I couldn’t be happier to see it and something I’ve wished for decades. Keep going!

Detroit is a safe clean and sports max City. If you love your sport from park running to cycling. Bart hung NFK colliege I r hockey base ball or basketball this is the city for you. The people are down to earth and friendly. It’s got a great food and music heritage and belle isle is an oasis with a riverside walk almost complete .

Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, settled in the 1840s by Irish immigrants from County Cork in Ireland who were escaping from the Great Irish Potato Famine. A worker's row house circa 1840 is located on Sixth Street and is one of the oldest existing structures in the city. The current boundaries of the district are I-75 to the north, the Lodge Freeway to the east, Bagley and Porter Streets to the south and Rosa Parks Boulevard to the west. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Since 2005, Corktown has seen a number of revitalization projects, including the United Irish Societies Irish Plaza and the 66,000-square-foot Quicken Loans Technology Center. But the most interesting attraction, to me, is Ernie Harwell Park, which was built on the former site of Tiger Stadium, which served as the major league baseball team's home field from 1912 to 1999 as well as the NFL's Detroit Lions from 1938 to 1974. Located on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Turnbull Street, it is named for the Tigers' beloved announcer. Little remains of what was once one of baseball's fabled parks, save the playing field. But old-timers and baseball fans of all ages can visit the grounds and even play on the very field that such Tiger greats as Ty Cobb, Hank Greenberg, Al Kaline and Alan Trammell once called home. The Tigers won world championships in 1935, 1945, 1968 and 1984. The stadium was demolished in 2000, a year after construction was completed on the new Comerica Park in the city's downtown area. Today, Corktown has recovered from the loss. The Corner, as locals have always called the site of Tiger Stadium, no longer remains. But the neighborhood is undergoing a rebirth. Ford is planning a $740 million Corktown campus, including a renovation of the historic Michigan Central Station that served passenger traffic from 1913 to 1988. Several residential developments are in the works, opening the door for more restaurants and bars and retail stores and boutiques.
