I just saw the rioting on Woodward. I'm having a gathering at Shield's Pizza 5057 Woodward on Saturday at 12noon. Maybe I should change the location to Corktown- Bobcat Bonnie?

By rioting do you mean protesting?Quote:

You're probably safer coming though, after all you won't be in Chicago.:p
You're good. 5057 Woodward is a couple miles from where that tiny protest took place.
If you see any BLM and QANON protesters out there at war with the police. You can join them or run away before the cops arrest you.
You should be fine. I doubt Detroit will be another Portland per se. We have different politic here. As with any big city you watch your back [[and don't do stupid stuff like valuables visible in a car). But overall downtown should be fine. Personally, I am not big fan of Shields though... smile.
Welcome to Detroityes!

Ick. Yes, Greektown is so horrid now anyway. Over-priced, long-lines, bad service in what few authentic restaurants there are [[are their any?). And I don't care for the rude youth crowds pushing thru the narrow sidewalks, bullying and cursing at top volume sometimes.
I've work mentored/ taught youth, but don't put up with boisterous teens I don't know, outside of a context I can control!

^ Just me not a fan of Shields perhaps -- and it was that one in Southfield on Telegraph at Ten. Go to Yelp.com and see what they say re. the one you want to go to.
Okay, I was going to the Woodward location. Talked to the owner. I don't know about the food, but the meeting is the most important. Gets 3-4 stars. Oh well! I don't have much time.Quote:

What's the point of this thread?
Not to throw a wrench in your plans, but I noticed Traffic Jam finally reopened this past weekend. Not sure when you checked with them about your plans, but they were doing some long overdue kitchen updates the past few months, so never opened up for any kind of service until late last week. They may not have had a 100% certain reopening date when you initially checked.Quote:
