Go to the Oxford Inn for lunch. Don't go at night. The best ribs, EVER! Oh, and don't forget your Kevlar vest.

Don't listen to these guys, just wear the right attire and you will be fine.

If you do encounter some ruffians, just hold up eight fingers. They don't mess with their own.

I put windows in School No. 5 just outside number 7 on that list. What a **** hole.

Any locals have the recommendation? I'm thinking about going to Nemos and taking the shuttle.

Get a Coney at Lafeyettes in the downtown area before the game then you have to hit Cheli's Chili (owned by Chris Chelios) after. Great food, drink and all the late games and it's right across the street from Ford Field and Comerica.

Actually another listing of 10 most dangerous neighborhoods I read this past spring featured Detroit as having the top 2 and 2 more. Call it progress.

Don't read in public, unless you want them to think you are a "Show-Off"

Seriously, don't wander around looking for a place to go. Pick a spot go directly there and then directly to the game. Stay on main roads. Ford Field is right off I-75 and is easy to access.

Again, don't wonder into neighborhoods to gawk at the burned out homes and buildings. There are plenty in the Ford Field area if that's your thing.
