I will be in Ann Arbor tomorrow. Are there any people in the area that could give me some ideas on good places to shoot?

I really like architecture and urban type scenes. Street shooting etc. I heard about graffiti alley and it sounds very cool but someone told me that I shouldn't go there myself. Is that area safe? My daughter lives in A2 and I've been there several times but just always shot right down on Main street so I'm looking to see more of the city.

I also like railroad tracks and trains etc.

State st. & William ..there is a really cool place the "Arcade" (glass covered hall with a lot of shops and caffe places ) ...look up and down State st. from there...couple Churches , University Buildings across the street...people walking all over that area. ( could be hard to get empty arch shoots on friday. try sunday morning if you like it people free )

the restaurant " Gandy Dancer" is an old train station converted into a restaurant. One side has glass windows that you can see the trains go by. It is a bit on the higher side if you want to eat there, but may be worth a visit. I'm not sure if you can just walk around the restaurant and see where the trains are, but they may let you if you ask, or you can just play dumb.

Anything sounds good?

I'll be in Ann Arbor tomorrow for work... not sure about my timing but I can PM you my phone # if you have any questions or whatever..

That sounds good and I'll check those places out. Are there any railroad yards in the area? What about graffiti alley? Is that area safe? Also, someone mentioned Kerry town. What is that? You can pm your number to me and I will get you my number.

RRYard? not really ,they are more on Detroit way.

Graffiti alley is only a block from Arcade, go North on State St. and look for a "Chocolate Factory" thats where you can get into the Alley...Just ask someone local at the Arcade they should be able to show you where it is. I consider Ann Arbor very safe, but I hang out in some bad places in the D...

Kerry Town ... Arcade is better IMO, but it is easy to find at Main St & Divison you can walk to it ..

I would love to hit the urban areas of Detroit. I go shooting is some bad parts of town here in Saginaw but I know where I'm going. I wouldn't do it by myself in Detroit because I'm not that familiar with the area.

Terry, we should see if we can get in the Guinness book of world records by getting kicked out of the most cities.
