I have spent less than a total of 2 weeks in Cleveland, over 2 different road trips, so I guess I was just lucky! 
I love Eastern Yurpeen food. Detroit has two weird little cities within its borders, one being Hamtramck (ham’-TRAM-ick or Hamsammich to the wags). Hamtramck is an interesting mix of Poles, Albanians and other Balkanites, Russians, Middle Easterners, East Asian Muslims, Blacks, cool white folks - mostly artists and/or musicians, and annoying white hipsters. There are fabulous eateries everywhere you look, lotsa brilliant little neighborhood bars (try a giant bottle of Żywiec beer [pron. ZEE-vee’-us] served with a big healthy shot of Jezynowka [pron. Yezshy-znoo-vka or just Yezshy] - a blackberry brandy), awesome resale shops, and many cool galleries. There’s also an unbelievable furniture store fulla mindbendingly tacky white-and-gold painted furniture, including living room stuff complete w/plastic-wrapped cushions.
The Detroit Institute of Arts has an armor hallway at the main entrance, featuring pieces from w.r. hearst’s collection. For a brief moment in time, I coulda fit into some of them 
That statuette sounds wonderful.
