Why Doesn’t the Woodward Dream Cruise Come South of 8 Mile?
Officials for the Woodward Dream Cruise and the City of Detroit say the cruise could come to Detroit as soon as 2018
It’s a simple question with a complicated answer that ranges from the history of cruising culture in metro Detroit as well as economics, race and crime. Regardless of why the largest single-day car event in the world doesn’t grace the streets of the Motor City, officials for both the Woodward Dream Cruise and the City of Detroit say that it’s possible the cruise could stretch to downtown Detroit as soon as next year in 2018.
In the meantime, events like Detroit Car Week and Cruisin’ in the D offer an outlet for city-centric car lovers to cruise Detroit city proper.
