The decline of the city of Detroit from one of the greatest cities in the world to a land of ruins can hardly be better personified than by looking at Michigan Central Station in the Corktown district. Once the tallest train station in the world with architecture on par with New York’s Grand Central Station and Chicago’s Union Station, it is now a hollow ruin. Approaching the station is like looking at the skeleton of a hero, of something that was once great and never will be again. When gazing at the Colosseum in Rome, you feel surrounded by the ghosts who were both the entertained and the entertainers of the arena. In contrast, Michigan Central Station is the ghost.
So glad you got a taste of Detroit! Slows is recognized as one of the best BBQ places in the country. Quite a feat, indeed, and apparently well deserved based on the unvegan review, which I trust completely!
After I stopped marveling at the strength of those Tigers hats to hold the Jew-fros of you, your dad and your uncle, I moved to the review. Slows does sound great and I am sorry I missed it last weekend. The next time I am in Detroit (funny parenthetical) I will have to try it.
went to slow’s for lunch this past wednesday and we had to wait 1 hr and 15 minutes and totally worth the wait!
As Step-father of the bride and the Unvegan himself, I should have been with the group, but was napping instead. I do, however, know about the power of Slow’s because we tried to eat there on a Saturday night, last year, and there was a 2 hour wait. Unfortunately, there was no Slow’s To Go, so we didn’t get to eat the now-legendary food. With their continued and growing reputation for quality BBQ in a city loaded with great BBQ restaurants, Slow’s is fast becoming what should be the subject of a segment of the Food Network’s hit show “Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.”. Oops, did I just contribute to adding hours to the wait?
