Those are more of community stores (Kmart and Pep Boys) and they aren't near the riverfront. If you haven't yet, check out www.naias.com which has some info. I think they send you to www.visitdetroit.com for hotel info. The tunnel puts you about half a mile from cobo on the same road. Gas, I don't know of any stations right on Jefferson, the road the tunnel puts you on and Cobo hall is on/over. Any more specific q's?

Well don't leave your keys in the car anyway.

There may be some more by the Devonshire mall. Both of those areas are 5-10 minutes from the Tunnel.

For some reason they had all of the parking around Cobo closed, could've been because of the Wings game though.
