I'm not posting this to
again, and I don't want this turning into a battle of Detroit vs Everybody either. However, on my way downtown for work today, traffic was much more congested than usual and full of school/charter buses. This could mean only one thing - big event.
For those of you concerned for your safety with half of the World Championship coming to Detroit, this weekend should be a good test. Detroit is hosting the ELCA Youth Gathering this week. It's a 5 day event (religious/service) for high school students throughout the world. They are expecting 30,000 students and their adult leaders at the event. Most of the event activities are taking place in Cobo/Ford Field. Sound Familiar?
While I'm not a part of this, I can see the large groups shuffling around from atop the Renaissance Center. I also have a few friends that are acting as group leaders for the event. I'll be sure to hit them up for feedback on how they felt when all is said and done.
