...while surfing channels this morning, I caught part of the Mildred Gaddis show on WCHB .. she was interviewing a gentleman that was planning a protest/demonstration today, on behalf of the pizza take out place in Cobo Hall, Simon's Pizza/Pizza Queen. The guest claims that the owner is in a battle wtih the catering contractor [[?) enabled by the Cobo governing authority, and the proprietor claims that he is being slowly forced out of business there.. allegations include limiting the formats of pizza allowed to be served [[i.e., slices only, no whole pizzas) and the volume..

separately, I saw a newsbrief on Fox 2 today about the Cobo renovations announcement, they showed various designs on how the facility is supposed to look by the time of the 2014 auto show..
