(CBS DETROIT)- "The Amazing Race" concluded its 31st season in Detroit. Here are some of the Metro Detroit landmarks they visited:
Spirit of Detroit
2 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48226
The first stop was at the Spirit of Detroit statue located on Woodward Avenue. The statue is a monument gifted to Detroit by artist Marshall Fredericks. A clue led them to the Guardian Building.
Guardian Building
500 Griswold St #1600, Detroit, MI 48226
The Guardian Building is an Art Deco skyscraper located in Downtown Detroit. The challenge: Scale 500 feet down the side of the Guardian Building while reading yellow printed numbers (7-24-17-1) on the windows.
Their next challenge was to unlock a bank safe using those numbers.
Fowling Warehouse
3901 Christopher St, Hamtramck, MI 48211
Ever heard of a sport called fowling? Well, it's football and bowling combined. Teams had to play 2 successful rounds at Fowling Warehouse and ultimately knock down all of the bowling pins.
Third Man Records
441 W Canfield St, Detroit, MI 48201
The teams stopped by Third Man Records- a record store in Cass Corridor. It was founded by rock 'n' roll artist Jack White. They had to press 5 vinyl records and have them approved by professional record makers.
Hart Plaza
1 Hart Plaza, Detroit, MI 48226
Once the two leading teams made it to The Hart Plaza, they had to assemble a drum kit. There were multiple musicians playing The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army". Fun fact: Jack White is a Michigan native.
