If you're looking for a little insight on Detroit look no further the Detroit Orientation Institute. Partnering with Inside Detroit, a nonprofit organization that showcases the city's assets, DOI offers a one-day concentrated experience with "12 Hours in the D." The program offers bus and walking tours of downtown, southwest, Midtown, New Center, and the near East Side. You'll start off at the newly renovated Fort Shelby Hotel with a reception at Cliff Bell's. You'll also get presentations from Data Driven Detroit's Kurt Metzger, WDET's Craig Fahle, and a discussion with representatives from organizations and foundations from across Detroit. It's a can't miss event if you're in love with Detroit.
The catch, however, is that you must register by April 8. Tuition for the day is $250, which includes
transportation to program sites, meals and background materials. You
may register on-line, by phone or FAX; however, full payment should be
received by April 8, 2010 to secure a place.
