For some years, some suburbanites [[maybe a dozen) who ride SMART buses to and from work downtown have been gathering on Friday evenings at Four Green Fields, a bar in the strip mall at 13 Mile and Woodward in Royal Oak. That bar, sadly, has closed, and the group seeks a new meeting spot.

FGF was perfect [[on the Woodward bus line, park-and-ride lot at shopping center, good beer selection, food, friendly staff). So far, the group has tried Duggan's and Snookers. Proposals include Como's, Berkley Front and [[jokingly) the Whitney.

Suggestions, anyone?
