Police Arrest 13 For Protesting Alabama’s Harmful Immigration Law At State Capitol (Think Progress)
Yesterday about 100 protesters, mostly college-age and Hispanic, demonstrated
in Birmingham against HB 56, Alabama's extreme anti-immigrant law. Chanting
"Undocumented, unafraid," and "No papers, no fear, immigrants are marching
here," they marched around the state Capitol and adjacent Statehouse. Police
arrested eleven protesters who sat down on Union Street between the two
buildings and refused [...]

Places To Go On Your Detroit Trip
All my life I have lived in Detroit. I have frequently fought with where I should take visitors that come in from out of the town. Detroit isn't Chicago, Big Apple, or Boston. However , if you look in the right places, there are many great sites to be seen.
To be honest, Detroit saw better times. Growing up in the town, I can remember many good things about the city that do not exist anymore today. Nonetheless I think the town is on the rise and there is a great future ahead. Downtown Detroit has improved and there are plenty of more enhancements in the works. For those with the entrepreneurial spirit, I suspect this is a great place to be.
In this post, I am going to give you my top 10 things which you need to do on your trip to Detroit.
1. The cultural minded should spend a day at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The museum has over sixty thousand pieces of art in their collection. The collection includes paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Warhol.
2. Visit Belle Isle. An island park, found in the Detroit River, originally designed in 1883 by Frederick Law Olmstead. He was the designer of Central Park in NY City. At the end of the island, you'll find a great view of downtown Detroit.
3. Have a hot dog at Lafayette Coney Island. A "Coney" in Detroit is a hot dog covered in chili, mustard and onions. Lafayette is the very best in the town. Don't just order a dog. Make certain to include chili fries and a coke.
4. On any given Saturday, visit Eastern Market. This is the farmer's market for neighborhood. After reading the impressive fruits, veg, meats and other food products, head over to the Russell Street Deli. The sandwiches and food can't be beat.
5. For those pet lovers, visit the Detroit Zoo. The Zoo isn't found in Detroit correct. It is found a 2 miles outside the limits of the city in Royal Oak. Over 3,000 animals call the zoo home. Considered a cultural gem.
6. Now the Detroit Tigers are contenders, take in a baseball game at the new stadium. After the game, make a journey down to the old Tigers stadium at Michigan and Trumbull. Marvel at the place where Ty Cobb once played. It may shortly be gone.
7. For what I call the ruins of Detroit, visit the old Michigan Central Station. It was built in 1913 and deserted in 1987. It is the largest train station I've ever come across. You can get an impressive view of the building if you are coming over the Ambassador Bridge from Canada. You can't miss the building. It's the one that has no windows.
8. Take a trip over to Windsor, Canada. It is simply a short drive thru the tunnel or across the Ambassador Bridge. Windsor has a pleasant downtown and many great bistros. The best Italian restaurants are found on Erie Street.
9. Take a trip to the suburbs. Just outside the town, visit Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Birmingham. They are all off the Woodward Avenue corridor. Each one of these towns have a little downtown with unique specialized shops and eateries. Each one is good for an afternoon of browsing.10. Further up the Woodward corridor, visit Cranbrook. An academic community started in the early 1900's. It features design by Eliel Saarinen, Albert Kahn, Steven Holl, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and Rafael Moneo. It has been called "the most enchanted and enchanting setting in America".
