Detroit Shoppe, MI

I have noticed that many cities have very cool stores dedicated to the city. Cleveland had a great one in Tower City last time I was there.... and Detroit has "The Detroit Shoppe"!

I almost hate to admit it at times, but I do enjoy walking through malls when I travel. If you are a mall fan and you are in the Detroit area, the Somerset Collection is a place where you have to stop. It is a very classy, layered mall. There is a skywalk with a moving sidewalk. let that sink in for a moment. This is easily one of the nicest indoor malls anywhere.

And, right in this very cool mall is a Detroit Shoppe. The place had a great selection of local inspired t-shirts, postcards, posters, etc. They also had historic artifacts from the cool town! The place is almost a cross between a museum and a museum gift shop.

They had a fun selection Tigers baseball items, including the videos about the group that tried to save old Tiger Stadium!

I was very happy to find some postcards of the Spirit of Detroit here.

The place is non profit too.
