Detroit: 10 Things to Do

It's hard to think of the Motor City — a popular symbol of urban decay — as a vacation destination. But somewhere behind its neglected, graffiti-covered skyscrapers are charming reminders of a city that was once among the world's wealthiest. Today, rows of homes and stores that had been abandoned for decades are finally being demolished, making way for lush green spaces that give some sections of the city an odd rural vibe. Several new hotels, restaurants and art galleries have the potential to burnish Detroit's image further and revitalize the downtown area.

Detroit's premier event is, of course, the North American International Auto Show, held each January — but that's hardly the most appealing time to visit the Midwest. So unless you're an auto-industry exec, advertiser or journalist, it's better to visit Detroit in summer. Toward the end of the season, in August, you can catch the Woodward Dream Cruise, a one-day, multi-city celebration of the automobile, replete with parades, music and food. Or visit over Labor Day weekend for the annual Detroit International Jazz Festival. In any season, Detroit is a sports mecca, so be sure to catch a Tigers, Red Wings or Lions game during your stay. Read on for Detroit's other key attractions.

Executive Promotion

Congrats to Kristi Suggs on being the newest Executive to be part of the Modern Marketing Detroit team! Mrs. Suggs has definitely proven herself of being known as a go-getter since the beginning when she first walked into our doors. Her background of serving and managing restaurants since 2007 has built her work ethic to become the next top executive within our company. When asked why she wanted to leave the restaurant business and go into consulting, her objective: “To enhance my professional skills in a dynamic and stable workplace. Allowing me to solve problems in a effective and creative manner in a challenging position.”

PUSH THROUGH PAIN

"Times will come where it feels as if the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Make a conscious decision to refuse failure and push through the pain."

Don't you ever think and say to yourself: "I don't want to do this anymore!" or "I can't do this." At times we all forget about why we started the fight so it's extremely important to make sure we push through the pain no matter how hard it may get or seem. What motivates you to work so hard that you know you can never give up? Constantly think about your whys because that will be the only thing to give you the strength to continue. Are you fighting for your family, your friends, for time, for wealth, for freedom, for endless options, or for the world. You are the only person who knows how to motivate yourself.

Promotion Time!

Congrats goes to MaKenna on her promotion! MaKenna was born and raised in Grayling, Michigan. She graduated Grayling High School then to Lawrence Technological University and continued her education at Oakland Community College. Some of Miss. MaKenna's favorite things are the color orange, to read, to cook, and to play team sports. Great job on your hard work lady, you deserve the great things in life for all the time and effort you put into the different tasks you want to acheive.

Daniel B. promoted to an ETT!

Daniel, also known as “Damn Skippy Dan” by the office, started on April 27, 2015 and just weeks later, he is celebrating his first of many promotions to come. When Dan first came into our office, he told us that he wanted to do something with his life because he “wanted to do things people wouldn’t be able to do.” It’s amazing how dedication and drive works. When one’s mind is set to complete a mission with their all, it will be completed. Today, we get to announce our newest promotion to the Executive Trainer position.  The best part about it was that he made it seem so effortless and it was definitely not a surprised when one of his goals was reached.

Modern LLC is excited to see what’s to come with this young man in this upcoming year.
