    I love how misrepresented the Detroit area as a whole is in the media. Sure, there are bad parts....like all cities.

    There are some great things to see and do here. It makes me laugh that people would high tail it to Windsor. No offense Windsor, but you haven't been a destination city since I was 20 and could drink underage (for americans) at bars there. Give the local economy in Detroit a boost and hang out here.
    There's a trapdoor in the sun.

    If you are heading to the show, look me up. I owe you a beer (or two) for hooking me up with that poster. (I don't forget).

    No problem. I'll be going for sure, PM me and I'll send you my cell phone number. Drinks for sure! I'll probably take the day off of work and head up there for the pre-party. I think it's about a 3 hour drive from Ft Wayne.

    For those dissing Detroit and don't know what to do before or after the show, just take your asses to Greektown, you'll be fine and have a ball. Also, if you Americans want to go over to Windsor, you MUST have a PASSPORT!

    What else aside from Greektown is there to see/do that's worthwhile for someone arriving ~12pm?
    I would suggest taking a visit to the Motown Museum! Then grab some food at Slow's Barbecue (Great pulled pork and beer selction), Green Dot Stables (Very affordable, menu consists of 20-30 different types of sliders), or grab a Coney Dog from Lafayette Coney Island or American Coney Island (They have a rivalry similar to that of Pat's and Geno's in Philly)

    Slows is the best! =P~ It's not that close by but not too far either i suppose - there won't be any Tigers traffic at least.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    What do you mean no Tigers traffic? The World Series tentatively starts on October 22, so we could very likely have a home game 6 days earlier.

    True - I was just assuming they'd be out of town. Not really sure why I said that.

    I am just trying to be positive about our Tiger's. In fact, I'm counting on a day/night downtown double-header. 1:00 Tiger's/8:00 Pearl Jam. Possibly start the day playing blackjack at Greektown, hit Red Smoke after the game and eat some BBQ that is on-par with Slow's, then hop on the people-mover and head to the Joe for what is going to be the best show on this tour. That sounds like a fantastic day to me
