BCB's Danny Rockett returns to the Motor City after 17 years for a pair of Cubs games in Tiger Town.
In 1998, I was 24 years old and touring with the First National Tour of the Broadway show "Rent" when we stopped for a three-month sit down in Motown. Most of the cast stayed in Royal Oak, a wealthy suburb of Detroit, but those of us looking for a little more action stayed at the Millender Center apartments near Greektown. I rode my bike six days a week to the Shubert Theater, past smoking sewer grates, abandoned blocks, and arson set fires.
