What can we do to float this idea ...
To see the present properly, it would be good to learn a bit about the history It may give you some ideas. Check out this nice site:

It mentions
6986 Jefferson at Post Kovacs Bar [[Netovabb) one of the more famous spots in Old Delray. Still in business. Stop in and toast your ancestors!
It has a forum too, post a question there.
Once you can figure out a destination, figure out how to drive along Jefferson there in Delray, it is right on the Detroit River and it should have a beauty all its own since its on the water. Twinkling lights and all that.
You need to find somewhere to eat .....
There used to be another bar in Town there. I think it was about the only business still running. The area is pretty devastated so you definately need to plan ahead.
