Did you know that there are more than 125 bars and restaurants within the one-square-mile of downtown Detroit? What about that Detroit has the second largest theater district in the country with over 13,000 theater seats in a two-block radius?

With the help of Jeanette Pierce's and Maureen Kearns' Inside Detroit tours, you'll leave Detroit just a little smarter than when you came.

The former, web-based-only company, Inside Detroit, now resides in a space on Woodward Avenue which it has occupied since the beginning of winter. On Friday, guests attended an open house that included a look at the new retail store Local 1253, which sells locally-made Detroit products like soaps, t-shirts, Detroit maps, candles and more. Food was provided by Bucharest Grill and Traffic Jam & Snug, and beer came courtesy of Atwater Block Brewery.
