It looks like there is a brick wall down there. Some sort of buried structure? Read more

Wow, underneath the road it's held up with brick. BRICK! Read more

I haven't been there in at least 6 years, last time was probably before I graduated at northwood, but I never had a problem, honestly. Read more

This is Detroit. There is nearly no public transportation. You are expected to drive and park everywhere because auto industry. The city made that bed; now it has to lie in it. Read more

Yeah, I was at a conference at Cobo back in November, and was shocked that the garages are cash only. How the hell do they not even have a Square reader? Read more

Been arriving early and parking below within steps of the elevators for a decade while everyone battles for the roof. Read more

I didn't go to the Detroit press previews last year but did for several years before that. I just took the free shuttles that the show sent around to the official hotels. Read more

Honestly, it sucks that Detroit is in the middle of all the financial problems its having. And that all the local industry has shut down, but now city management and local event spaces are failing too. It sucks that these people have their heads so far up their own asses in seemingly ALL the positions of authority.… Read more

I'd blame the journalists. First, for there being so many of them, and second, for thinking all of them would have a place to park even though they didn't last year when there were fewer of them. Let's assume the parking situation isn't going to get better, while there will be still more journalists vying for parking… Read more

Wait, some people went to Detroit and experienced stupidity, disorganisation, and (in the case of the $45 parking charge) possible corruption? Read more

It's even worse for people that work downtown on a normal day. The buildng I work and park in is two blocks from Cobo, and building management oversold the garage. Therefore, many permit holders were without a spot, and many improvised. This cause a giant clusterfuck in that people couldn't get their cars out, had… Read more

I'm going down for an event there tomorrow and I plan on parking at Greektown and using Cadillacs free Über to get to Cobo. Read more

The roof snafu caught me by surprise yesterday, forcing me to park in Joe Louis Arena's garage and walk through the scenic elevated sewer tubes to Cobo. Amazingly, that didn't even appear to be an option on day two — both the entrance from the Lodge and on Jefferson were closed. Imagine my surprise to find the… Read more

The patience of Detroiters with regard to what they have to put up with on a daily, even hourly, basis is mind-boggling. Hang in there, Aaron. Wish I were at this year's show. Read more

Well what you could do is drive to Greektown Casino park there for a small fee or free if you have a players card, then get on the people mover and take that over to Cobo. I have been doing that the past couple of years. Read more

I fear most people are missing the point of this. Read more

Very cool. I have Pewabic tile around my fireplace. I'm conflicted about replacing, because I appreciate the history (you have to really appreciate history to want to buy in my neighborhood in Grand Rapids), but it's not their trademark blue and I'm not very fond of the colour. However, it's been there for 100 years,… Read more

I'm jealous! Hat tip for the Vernor's in the background also! Read more
