The Palace of Auburn Hills is located in Auburn Hills, Mich., and home to the Detroit Pistons professional basketball team. Although it used to be known for its high crime rate, Detroit is now known for the downtown revitalization and has many unique points of interest. The Detroit River has benefited from the revitalization efforts and has a great walking trail for those sunny outdoor days.
