<<Arrived at Cobo a little before 8 this morning and found Cobo Roof parking was already full. I asked the attendant to recommend an alternative, and he said, " get here early." And we wonder why Detroit gets a bad rep with chuckleheads like this--almost certainly not even a city resident--acting us the city's ambassador to the many thousands of visitors who come for NAIAS. The guy turned away ahead of me came from Japan for the show. I walked with him to the show once we found parking; suffice it to say he is not eager to come back.>>
