    Isn't the Shorecrest on Jefferson, so it is on the map - you'll be fine. Atwater/Woodbridge area is fine.

    I don't think it will be torn down until after 2016 or 17 unfortunately...

    Looks like it is just East of Rivard St. and Jefferson, so it either just on the map or just off the map. I hope my room is on the west end of the hotel or I may be introuble :)

    My hand-me-down GPS could only find the arena by its' old address, not the current one on Steve Yzerman Drive. As long as I get there I suppose I shouldn't complain about the free GPS unit.

  • Anyone have any suggestions for things to do Friday after the show? Maybe a good breakfast spot or lunch? Any sites we should see? Should we venture over to Windsor?

    For breakfast/brunch, The Hudson Cafe is amazing...graham cracker crusted french toast and red velvet pancakes amongst many other choices!
    My favorite spot in Detroit is Green Dot Stables, a good spot for lunch or dinner...$3 sliders, $3 drinks.
    Roast is a really fancy restaurant in the Westin but to avoid the priciness, do happy hour there--great food and drinks for a tiny fraction of the cost of a meal!

    I wouldn't pass up the Motown Museum either, assuming you like music. If you like art, the DIA is a beautiful museum. Have fun! I'd explore Detroit rather than Windsor :)

    Awesome post. Very helpful. Both places are within 4 minutes from my hotel (MGM Grand) so I'm excited to check out Hudson Cafe and Green Dot!

    Guys go to Chelio's bar. He already has a 20x20 banner. And I'm sure he will probably be there at some point. You can take the people mover from JLA to grand circus park. And then it's about a 1/2 mile walk to Cheli's. I work in Detroit everyday. Downtown is a big difference from the outer areas.

    ugh. Now I need a ticket
  • I agree that Cheli's would be a fun and appropriate place to go after the show! Also maybe something in Greektown would work (Old Shillelagh?) since it seems like a lot of people are parking there for the show!

    Quick dos and donts

    Don't get in cab downtown without asking how much first. 90% don't run the meter

    Don't park at meters. Tickets used to be $10. They are now $45

    Don't leave your purse in your trunk. A lot of people know that Ford field and JLA has t e no bag policy and people are popping trunks. Leave under seat or don't bring at all

    Don't get arrested if you do call A-1 Bail Bonds. Ten club discount!

    Do
    Checkout Lafayette coney. Close to JLA and great coneys.

    Also Bucharest grill. Closer to comerica park. Inside park bar get the Shwarma!

    If going to a casino. Go to greektown. The people mover is inside the casino and it goes direct to JLA


    Anyone other questions LMK
