that sounds like a perfect vacation.
i went to Detroit last year for the electronic music festival which was held at Hart Plaza...interesting structure, unlike any around here that i can think of...definately great folr skating.
Detroit made me feel like no other city in the US has made me feel...like a Neutron bomb went off and left only the buildings...the mass exodus to the suburbs has left the entire town like Springfield after the tire fire started.
if you like we could always take a roadtrip out of town to Duluth or somewhere to shoot photos, i'll drive. there's a skate park right by my house in Burnsville...but it's pretty weak, they only have footees and a couple of other obstacles, if you prefer street there's always guerilla style.
I wish you went to Toronto, but the image of you escaping trouble on a trusty skateboard is funny/cute enough to last me until your next trip. Where to next?
