The Cobo Center is in downtown Detroit near the river. We made it downtown with no problem. Being veterans of Chicago traffic made navigating Detroit that much easier. The problem was, we didn’t know where to park. There was some confusion on Jefferson street which put us down by Joe Louis Arena. We didn’t want to park there because we didn’t know where we were, so we took a “Michigan Left” and headed back the way we came. After another “Michigan Left” we were back in front of Cobo.
