Back from a quick visit to NYC, including stops at the excellent Buttermilk and Gel and Weave, to see good news for Detroit-area tourism: Instead of settling for the nice yet incomplete glimpse of auto production provided by displays at the Detroit Historical Museum and others, Ford Motor Co.'s Rouge plant plans to resume tours soon. Although they won't likely include time on a catwalk over steel that is being rolled, as described here, it likely will be well worth a detour. Now if only The Detroit Salt Co. would reopen the salt mines below the city for tours.
