Perfect weather, huge crowds, good vibes downtown- what did you do on Detroit's unofficial holiday? A photo essay, from the old park to the new: http://www.walkerville.com/tig ers/ | ||

I was excited to go into the bar in the Broderick I have never been in the Broderick. I wonder if there was any legal occupancy though because it smelled funny in there. They were bringing in beer into a side door and I saw the elevators in there and I was so tempted to ask if I could go in and try to go to the top. I did not want the crazy looks I knew I would get. Anyway downtown looked good and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves....I stayed down for a few hours and enjoyed it! I then went to Belle Isle to unwind | ||

Did you look up to the ceiling in the elevator lobby? It's lovely!!! A couple years ago, my son's band played a gig in the basement there, and so I snooped around a bit and took a couple photos. | ||

no they were bringing beer in there and looked like they were stacking it up in there. It was sad to see what that lobby has been reduced to. A dark dank beer storage room. (Message edited by fareastsider on April 03, 2007) | ||

I like this 'opening day' essay a heck of a lot better than the other one that was posted here. |
