American Sign Language: The alphabet here and a bit more here.

Austin, TX: I lived there from 2002-2004 and absolutely love the place. I highly recommend Austin as a travel destination. I've found a really good Austin travel guide website at www.austintexas.org. Also, here are some interesting tidbits about the Texas Capitol building along with a photo.

Detroit: The birthplace of the auto industry. Detroit has gotten a really bad rap, deservedly in a lot of aspects. Large swaths of neighborhoods have plunged into indescribable hellholes of blight, poverty and unbridled drug commerce. However, the downtown area and waterfront have undergone massive redevelopment which provide a sense of promise. I've found a nice photo gallery of downtown Detroit here. My favorite is Comerica Park, the marvelous ballpark of the Detroit Tigers. I enjoy catching a game once in a while. A restaurant I especially like is Slows Bar-B-Q. It opened a couple years ago and their pulled pork sandwich is the best. Their website is www.slowsbarbq.com. New businesses like this are exactly what Detroit needs.

Port Huron, MI: My hometown, Port Huron is the county seat of St. Clair County and the central city of the Blue Water Area. Port Huron is an hour northeast of Detroit, right where the St. Clair river flows into Lake Huron. Port Huron is right across the St. Clair river from Sarnia, Ontario, and the connecting Blue Water Bridge is one of the highest-trafficked border crossings. Port Huron calls itself the Maritime Capitol of the Great Lakes, although Chicago has something to say about that. Both cities are the starting point for the two major annual sailboat races to Mackinac Island, MI. The Blue Water Area Convention & Visitors Bureau website is at www.bluewater.org.
