Will this tour be more focused on architecture/history or the actual apartment units themselves? I am currently looking for an apartment and would like a better feel for the community/residents themselves. | ||

I went on this tour today. Nice tour, thanks to all the guides. We had a surprise bonus attraction when Coleman Young Jr. came up to the group at the start of the tour and asked what was going on. (Message edited by Pam on June 23, 2007) |
