Who knew?
I recently walked through Detroit's Metropolitan Airport as part of a connecting flight from Washington DC to Cedar Rapids.
To catch my outbound flight, I took the underground connector and discovered what I think might be Michigan's best kept secret -- a pyschedelic show that accompanies you for nearly a quarter of a mile as you ride the people-mover through the tunnel.
I liked it so much I rode back and forth several times, and still made my connection.
Thanks for the short respite from airline travel, Detroit Metro!

While connecting through Detroit, on many an occasion and our girls were still young, my wife and I would tell them it was a time tunnel and if they ran fast enough they would travel through time!
I think they knew they would not travel through time, but it was good for a lap down and back between flights. I have always thought Detroit’s underground passageway between A and B/C concourses was some of the most interesting airport design work ever...

What a great story. How long has the installation been in place?

We call it "the womb" and it's really quite something. Speaking as someone who travels for a living, I can say it's never the same twice.
