According to Time, one of the top spots to visit in the world is Detroit's Little Village.

You'll find it with the East Village neighborhood of Detroit. Little Village is described as "a cultural corridor fostering an inclusive community centered around the arts."

Bloomberg reports:

Little Village is an effort to extend Detroit’s renaissance beyond the borders of downtown. The project is the sum of a huge variety of placemaking efforts: rehabilitating a former church, reimagining a distinctive bakery and repurposing vacant surface lots among them.

At the Heart of Little Village is The Shepard, a more than 100-year-old church that now houses two gallery spaces, a public library, and workshop space for the community. It's even got a skate park designed by Tony Hawk!

Down the street is Pewabic Pottery. The National Historic Landmark is home to pottery, architectural tile, and ceramic arts studios, plus a gallery, store, and education center. It's one of the oldest continually operating potteries in the country.
