Ride your travel horse out off the beaten path to the Packard Plant in Detroit
If you think you have seen everything in Detroit, think about the Packard Plant on E Grand boulevard. This 1.5-million-sq-meters factory was neglected a long ago. It became one of Detroit's most iconic ruins. The place is completely safe in terms of inhabitants, just be careful not to get injured with various wracks and other stuff.
