Whatever it takes to keep this at the top… 🙂 Anyway, if I’m reading this right, Ann Arbor seems to be the place of choice? I live an hour from there, so I won’t be able to do too much drinking, but hell, if I do, I’ll just crash at my mom’s. Anybody got a clue as to where we’d like to meet? Someplace downtown, on or near Main Street? The Main Street I used to know is so different than when I actually lived there that I don’t think I could tell you what’s there anymore. Do we want dinner? Or just alcohol? ---

If the Michigan (and at least one Toledo) dopers are meeting in Ann Arbor, it’d be RUDE of me not to go too. Seeing as I live in Ann Arbor and all. Several people have mentioned Grizzly Peak, and that’s my vote too. I’d think eating too or just drinking is every one’s own choice. I won’t be offended if I’m not eating (or have finished) and someone shows up famished and orders food. Heck, beer is food, right? * * * _It is too clear, and so it is hard to see._ ---

Okay, will someone please tell me what & where Grizzly Peak is? And if it’s a new building, or occupying space where something else used to be? If you can tell me what _used_ to be there, I should be able to find it. 🙂 ---

Grizzly Peak is a little brew pub, I know where it is, but I’m not sure what used to be there. I think it was the Old German, but I could be wrong. How’s that for a good lot of help? ---

Saraam, I hope you’re wrong. I am going to be SO BUMMED if I find out the Old German is gone. But at least now I have a clue as to where the place is. 🙂 ---

First let me say aye to Grizzly Peak. Then let me say how bummed I am that the Old German is gone. Sigh. Oh well. Guess that means I’ll be forced to drink one extra beer in memory of one of my favorite restaurants! ---
