Your beloved Blogger Laureate of Illinois is always ahead of the curve. After all, I've vacationed twice in Detroit in the last four years.

From the Detroit News:

Pack your bags, America. Detroit is emerging as a top travel destination.

Brett Keller, CEO of the Priceline, said the online travel agency has seen an interesting rise in travel in Detroit and Cleveland during an interview with "CBS This Morning" on Friday.

Keller, in his first network interview since he became CEO in 2016, said Detroit is a fast-growing market that many could drive to during their summer vacations.

"This year, we've seen an interesting rise in some urban locations, specifically, in Detroit and Cleveland," Keller said during the interview. "Think they're going through a bit of a renaissance. There's a lot of interesting new culture happening, new restaurants, breweries, night scenes..."

And yes, the urban exploration, what the haters call "ruin porn."
