I had heard about The Heidelberg Project and decided to go explore it myself. It is named after the street it is on, Heidelberg St. in Detroit. It sits in one of the worst parts of the city. The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art installation located in the heart of the city of Detroit, Michigan. It was created in 1986 by artist Tyree Guyton as a response to the decay and blight that had overtaken his childhood neighborhood on ...

A quick lunch trip to some lesser-known restaurants in Mexicantown Detroit that includes a stop at Taqueria Lupita’s and some post-lunch goodies at the glorious La Gloria Bakery.

Detroit’s Mexicantown, a very short drive away, has a lot to offer, but I just want to offer a quintessential gastronomical adventure: lunch and dessert in under an hour. This ...

Bangkok 96 in Dearborn is a non-nondescript restaurant off of Telegraph. At first glance, it’s not a place that stands out, but then you notice something, the parking lot is always full. And I mean always. Since my usual Thai spot had recently closed, I needed a new place to feed my Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour addictions. We started off with some fried tofu and some spring rolls. We never order any appetizers, the plates here are huge, ...

My journey with the Jackson Coosa kayak started last December when a number of us met in Tennessee to pick up our Coosa from the Jackson Kayak factory. Since this allowed for a behind-the-scenes experience, I must add a few things that made an impact on me and are important to me. First, the entire Jackson operation is top-notch. They are a family-friendly company and entirely US based. Their kindness and helpfulness were striking. And they really care about their ...

I remember seeing Slayer Propel 13 for the first time. Woody Callaway was talking about a kayak at the Outdoor Retailer show. He was doing a video, and in the background was the Slayer Propel 13 that had yet to be released. The video was only up for a short time and was just a teaser of things to come. A few days later, the Slayer Propel 13 was released to the public. Slayer Propel 13 is a 13′ 2″ ...

Some of you may be thinking, “crappie fishing in the winter? That’s crazy!” But trust me, it’s ...

L’Anse is not really a destination for most travelers (I don’t know why it’s a cute little picturesque town!). It is usually simply a town on the way to the Porcupine Mountains or to the Keweenaw. But if you have the time, I really suggest taking some time to explore the outdoors surrounding this lake town. Get out, and explore L’Anse waterfalls! The first stop is Silver Falls Silver Falls is a group of waterfalls along the Silver River about ...

The most amazing thing about the ever-popular Alabama Rig, or A-rig as we shall call it, is the fact that it is extraordinarily easy to manufacture. Nothing more than a glorified umbrella rig, the A-rig consists of little more than wire, swivels, and snaps. It is merely a new means to present old baits. As the next installment in my series of articles on the A-rig, this How to Make an Alabama Rig will put the power of the A-rig ...
