Riding the Rails | People Mover

With spring around the corner but not quite here yet, Spring Fever might be setting in. A beyond fun way to combat boredom is to take a trip that simulates being outside- on The Monorail! It feels like you are outdoors, but everyone will stay cozy and warm- even during this everlasting icy-cold and snowy weather.

What isn't awesome about the People Mover? Kids love it. It is usually empty so there is plenty of room to stretch without being packed in like sardines- in direct contrast to the L around Union Square.
A stellar view of the city surrounds you. It's cool to be able to see Detroit from a different angle, above pedestrians, flying with the seagulls, eye level with rooftops. Imaginations run wild, creating stories about being a giant or being an explorer about to discover a new place.

Killer things about the monorail include getting the kids outta the house, even in the depths of winter, or when it's blustery and raining. The fare is unbelievable too, it's 75 cents per person for an unlimited* ride.  Our personal record is five loops.

If time or patience allows, plan a day trip & get out to explore. The best stops are:
-Renaissance for Wheelhouse Detroit bicycle rentals
-Cadillac for ice skating at Campus Martius Park
-Broadway for Puppet Art Detroit Theatre
Keep an eye open for an awesome breakdown of stops in a future post. Until then, take a ride- the city awaits.
*Unlimited until you exit, then it's 75 cents again, & totally worth it!

Lil Wayne is in the hospital. It is serious & my dad even texted me about it, seeming overly concerned about the musician's health. So I sent a message to his publicist regarding the health scare, occurring scandalously close to the date his next album is scheduled to drop. Best publicist ever!
