Come on, what I posted is true. If I ever get to feeling depressed about where I am in life a trip to the GTC makes me feel much better. A few years ago I saw some girl getting a Justin Beiber tattoo. Thought to myself, that is not a good idea!

Thank you, but the thanks should go to Lowell for posting the weekly 10 Things To Do in Detroit posts from Crain's and for the opportunity to share the info. I'm only piggybacking on that. I love that we have so much to do every weekend here in the D and southeast Michigan!!
