Admittedly, I have never been to Royal Oak, however, I have heard it is in line with Novi, Northville, Livonia, Grosse Pointe, and Taylor. If this is true, I'm not sure how they expect to be a destination similar to an urban center like Pontiac.

I mean, I like the Livonia Spree or Westland festivals too, but something of a regional scale belongs in a regional cultural center, right?
