Night out in Detroit: Patti Smith at the DIA

A couple weeks ago I went to the Patti Smith: Camera Solo exhibit at the DIA. It's still open until September 2, and I'd recommend going.

And who knew? I learned that the DIA is open until 10 on Friday nights, often with live music, so you can make a whole evening of it in Detroit. The Woodbridge Pub is a great place to eat! Parking's never a problem in Detroit! Here's what it was like looking across Woodward Ave. outside the DIA afterward:

Gorgeous, right?

And just for fun, here's a video of Patti and Fred Smith covering A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall at the Nectarine Ballroom in Ann Arbor in '91:

And BTW, Patti Smith's Just Kids was a great read.
