"Another glimpse of Detroit's past"

Canfield is like a lot of the city street's in that it traverses Detroit through. Too much street for me so my review is confined it the section of W. Canfield between 3rd and Woodward.

If you like beer and good food, don't miss out on Traffic Jam and Snug at the corner of 2nd. It's a micro brew pub, bakery and restaurant. I've only eaten here once (it was delish!) but on the weekends the valet parking is always backed up so my guess is a lot of peeps agree that it's good.

Somehow this segment of Canfield escaped the blight and ghetto-fication of the bulk of the city. Mostly residential, the street is a mix of single family and converted apartments. Most striking is the cobblestoned section between 3rd and 2nd. I haven't checked but I seem to recall a historical placard set up. Like a lot of the back alleys that connect the streets in this area, the stone pavement is like a peek into the past.

The street turns to a light industrial area between 2nd and Woodward. Kinda' creepy at night but a good place to find a parking spot when the more popular on street parking is gone.
