On the Set - "Transformers 4"

This summer I was able to experience something that we do not normally see in the Detroit area. In the heart of downtown Detroit was the filming of the movie "Transformers 4." A few city blocks made up the set of the movie, which was disguised as Hong Kong, and no longer Detroit. I was hoping to get a glimpse of Mark Wahlberg, but there was no actual filming being done at the time I was there. Still, it was pretty cool to see a real movie set here so close to home. Here are a few photos from the movie set, looks like it will be a good movie when it is released in the Spring of 2014.

Need for Speed!

In a few short weeks, all eyes will be on Detroit with the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix Indy IZOD series race. This year the race track is now 2.3 miles long, with it's many twists and turns of a street racing course. The race drivers enjoy a beautiful view of the Detroit River, and the downtown area as they race around on this course. I have attended this race many times and I highly recommend it for anyone who can attend. The backdrop of the Detroit River, matched with the Indy race cars, is definitely an experience to remember. I was downtown on Friday, as it was a beautiful day here in the "D", and I ran into this race car on display near the waterfront. Took a few pictures of this slick, fast, beautiful machine that will be racing in the next few weeks here in Detroit. Thanks for looking!
