## Resource

Today on Daily Detroit, photographer and urbanism enthusiast Ryan Southen joins me to share what it's actually like to walk the newly opened Gordie Howe International Bridge. We admire the architecture, the breathtaking views of the river and skyline, and what the experience is like going from the American side to the Canadian side — and the huge difference between the two. Plus, Ryan shares a few practical tips on parking near and navigating the span if you're planning to check it out yourself. Thanks to our members on Patreon for supporting the show!
