almost every stop. I walk around all the time and feel as safe as can
be. But of course as aleways be cautious
Thanks for the update. Any advice on getting from Ypsilanti to our hotel
(and the races) downtown?

JAY,
From Ypsi the best way is 94E to M10 (Lodge FWY) south. Not sure which hotel you are staying at but from the lodge I take the W Jefferson / Joe Louis Exit which dumps you right on to West Jefferson, which runs along the riverfront. Turning around and heading East on Jefferson will get you to the race area. Although I beleive some of the available race parking is the Cobo and Joe Louis parking structures which are right at that exit. ANY other way and you are bound to hit construction.
Hope this helps.
My husband just called me from home and said the are setting up the pylons right now. He said we will actually be able to see some of the race from our window if we wanted. Although we will get a better view down on the boardwalk.
