I hope your enjoying my occasional posts about things in and around us here in south east Michigan - this is a bit of an old post so I thought it was about time I through it out into the blogging world. Greeektown is one of downtown Detroit's historic areas. Originally settled by German immigrants in the 1830s, they were replaced with a strong Greek populace, even with their outward migration the area remained highly influenced as an ode to all things Greek. It's an area not only home to Greek restaurants, with Greek music playing onto the streets but one of Detroit's three casinos - the Greeektown Casino Hotel.
At 25 I'd admit to never having stepped inside a casino so it was an experience seeing rows of one arm bandits [well their contemporary versions], endless streams of people and the huge scale of the place and had a play on some of the one cent machines. Afterwards we headed to one of the culinary highlights of Greektown - Pizza Papalis were the pizzas are HUGE and oh so very yum and they have a great reputation.
What culture areas of your city/town do you love?
