You can also sell back your used CD's, usually for $3 a piece in cash or $4 a piece in store credit. Be sure to check out the entire section in the back, solely specializing in classical!
What to buy: The used CDs are my favorite; you can find just about anything you're looking for, and the prices can't be beat.
What to pay: Usual prices for CDs are what you'll be paying, but in the used section you may find some great deals.

Use good, safe practices when on vacation here. Lock your car doors. Keep your cash and valuables out of sight. Don't go out alone late at night or into unfamiliar neighhoods. Ask the motel staff if there are areas that tourists should avoid.

You are on vacation in Detroit. It is summer. It is blisteringly hot.
So take the kids and drive to Dearborn IceSkate Center.
Year round frigid temperatures. Skate rentals in just your size.
After an hour in here, you will be able to stand the sweltering heat outside at least until the sun goes down.

I-94 to Dearborn exit, go north on Wyoming Avenue about one block and connect to Ford Road. Go west on Ford Road. near the Ford Woods Park you will see the skate hall.

Favorite thing: Be prepared to speak arabic...
I went to visit family and I couldn't believe that I travelled all the way across the seas, to the wrong side may I add, to speak and listen only arabic.
Fondest memory: The houses. They were gorgeous.
