_Dearborn_! Slowly I turned, step by step…

If you choose Dearborn, I could also take you to downtown Detroit, and we could eat Greek. And drink. While the Detroit Greektown is a pale comparison to Chicago, I can guide you to some serious eats and drinks.

If this is planned for a weekend, doesn’t Cedar Point get amazingly crowded? I always go during the week, but heard horror stories of 2.5 hour lines on Saturdays.

What about during one of Detroit’s free festivals, like DEMF (techno), Tastefest, or Concert of Colors?

Well like I said, I heard that Cedar Points has days reserved for only members of certain organisations, but these days are usually during the work week.

why don’t we start with a planning session at one of the fine bistros in downtown Cleveland or thereabouts?
