Final Touch Housekeeping

Support local business by shopping at the Detroit Eastern Market, one of the oldest farmers' markets in the state. This Motown staple has served as the city’s main open-air market since 1891. Nose through the hundreds of stalls in this six-block area and see what over 250 independent vendors and merchants have for sale.

Adults can escape to their own wonderland at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino, one of three casino hotels in the city and the first major luxury casino resort outside of Las Vegas. Not a gambler? This hotel resort is also filled with first-class restaurants, lounges, bars and clubs as well as a relaxing spa and a trendy boutique.

Head over to Ferndale for a fun weekend at the DIY Street Fair. This 2-day, 3-night festival showcases local artists, crafters, businesses, organizations, musicians, restaurants, brewers and others who base their work on creativity and a “do-it-yourself” work ethic. Entrance is free, but bring some cash because you are sure to find something to purchase at the Marketplace, Record Shop, Beer Garden or Restaurant Row.

Take your A-game to the Dearborn Hills Golf Course, a public 4-star facility listed in Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play.” This jewel of a golf course is also Michigan’s oldest municipal course–but don’t let its age trick you! It underwent an extensive renovation in 1991 and has been well maintained ever since, so you can expect amazing scenery as well as a smooth course.
