Rihanna/Eminem Monster Tour

Takeshi and John

OK, so I didn't personally go to the concert but felt involved since I was the driver. My son-in-law and grandson came in from South Carolina just to go to the concert. Since they were expecting 100,000 people downtown for the concert and the Lions game, we left at 4:30 and beat most of the traffic. We were lucky to get a parking spot on the street. We had dinner and they walked to Comerica Park and I went home. When I got there at 11:30pm to pick them up it was a madhouse of traffic even though the Lions game had ended earlier.

I haven't been to Greektown in years and it was hoppin' down there. All the spaces are filled with new restaurants and bars. Of course, the casino dominates the area.

It was easy to spot the Lion's fans from the concert goers.

Yes, most of the lots were asking $50! By the time we finished eating this lot was full.....amazing!

We ate at Fishbones....nice place and good food and also a convenient walk to Comerica Park. Thank you, Takeshi for the great meal.

Yippee! Sushi! (Just kidding) John doesn't eat sushi even though he is a server in a Sushi Bar in Murrell's Inlet, SC.

This building used to be Marilyn's on Monroe. It was a jazz club and in the 90"s my friend ,Susan, and I used to go there.

This restaurant was a bakery at one time....great pastry and Baklava. Sorry to see some things change.

Great to be downtown and see it prospering. People have money to spend it seems.

Oh, and PS, John said the concert was great and worth coming all the way from SC.
