Summary: Detroit has made headlines in recent years with its bankruptcy and blocks of abandoned homes. But while the city is still a gritty place, it offers a surprisingly rich array of options for tourists. Tops on any visitor’s list should be the Motown Museum, where you can dance to “My Girl” in the studio where it was recorded. Don’t forget coney dogs and a stop at the museum to see the art that was nearly sold to save the city from bankruptcy. Associated Press travel editor Beth Harpaz interviews Jeff Karoub, who covers Detroit for the AP, to get his take on what a visit there might entail.
