Detroit is the largest city in the midwestern state of Michigan.
Long recognized as the historic heart of the American automotive industry, Detroit took on the nickname "Motor City." The state's automotive industry provided the model for mass production that other industries later adopted. Henry Ford pioneered the use of the assembly line in manufacturing automobiles.Much of Detroit is now a ruin because of the decline of the American auto industry.
In a matter of decades, Detroit went from one of America's most prosperous cities to one of its most distressed. Battered by financial missteps, racial tensions and leadership lapses – culminated in insurmountable debt that led the city to file for bankruptcy.

It was an interesting flight showing what pilots see at night which was very little until approaching New York.

Boston, Massachusetts is known as “the birthplace of the American Revolution” because many historic events took place there during the revolution.
Officially founded in 1630 by English Puritans who fled to the new land to pursue religious freedom, Boston is considered by many to be the birthplace of the American Revolution. The construction of Independence Hall, the “birthplace of the United States,” began in 1732 and was officially completed by 1753. Within these walls, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were debated, drafted, and signed by the Founding Fathers
The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin's Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor.
