Most of you probably noticed the gigantic Yelp-thing on the sidebar. That’s my “Yelp Bling” as they call it. Not a whole lot there right now, but basically it is me committing to reviewing more things on Yelp starting now. I always go on and on about how much I love Detroit and how if you know where to go you can have a really great time here (something that the NY Times seems to agree with) so I’m going to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, and start reviewing some places on Yelp.

My hope for this is 1. to instruct the masses here who don’t get out enough that they can – in fact – have a great time in their home city and 2. assure potential out-of-towners that yes there is plenty to see and do and no you will not die (as long as you don’t go looking for trouble). Interestingly enough it seems there are a few other people on Yelp who have already gotten a bit of a jump start on me, which is good!

Unfortunately the Metro Detroit area is lagging behind in terms of reviews, so this is an official call to all my friends from around here. Create an account, friend me, and review your favorite (and least favorite) spots. Hopefully that will help contribute to some positive vibes for the area.
