01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Mexicantown is an important setting for Mexican American community life in Detroit. Around Bagley Street, food businesses, shops, and public art create a neighborhood experience. This is a living residential and commercial area, with individual places and histories rather than a single themed attraction. A bakery stop or unhurried meal offers a better encounter than simply driving through.
- Bagley Street and nearby blocks
