We kind of like Traffic! Things we’re digging downtown 4/25 – 5/1, 2012

We’ve noticed something the past few weeks when driving into the office.  There ‘s a lot more traffic heading into Downtown Detroit than we’re used to seeing.  Instead of complaining when it takes longer to get off 375 at Lafayette than usual, we do a little cheer.

It means more of you are looking for things to do Downtown after work so check this out.

Wine Tasting & Networking at Motor City Wine

Tired of always wondering if your look is motley or chic?  Luckily you live near a burgeoning fashion scene. So get down to Motor City Wine to mix and mingle with people who can make sure your ensemble is still vogue.

21st Annual Detroit Music Awards

Do you ever wonder how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ended up on the shores of Lake Erie instead of along the banks of the Detroit River?  We innovated Motown and Techno. We’re at the leading edge of Punk and still dominate Gospel, a big source of inspiration for early rock musicians.  The talent out of Detroit just keeps coming.  Check out the DMA’s to see what we mean!

Clean Up & Potluck Picnic Prep

Tucked away on the northwest corner of the Dig Downtown district is the Lincoln Street Art Park.  This is a great example of what can happen with a little creativity and a lot of elbow grease.  They need a little more elbow grease this weekend,. So lend a hand and meet some more of the creative minds in Detroit.

CASS COLLECTIVE

Any chance we get to plug The Wire Eyes, we take it.  They are partnering with three other bands to raise awareness and funds for the Pay It Forward Initiative, which helps partner the jobless with meaningful volunteer internships.

From this week’s “In Case You Missed It Files,” Project Lighthouse was started last August as a sort of “Neighborhood Watch” for the central business district.  It is already having a noticeable difference for people who live, work and play in Downtown Detroit.
