Went to the boat show in Detroit over the weekend...granted, it was snowy all day, but not that snowy. And it stopped by about 4pm. But the boat show? Dead. So quiet and empty it was kinda weird. This is Saturday night. And I know no one has any money for a new boat, (although I was only in Cobo for two hours and they rang the sales bell 3 times while I was there), usually you can muster up a decent number of window shoppers.
And there were some good deals...apparently the attendance was down by 8% (frankly, it was down by about 98% on Saturday night) but sales were up, according to Great Lakes Boating.
But after that, we went to Greektown. And that was dead, too. We ate at the Laikon cafe...great food (but an annoying lack of designated smoking/non smoking areas...if you go, make sure you tell them you don't want to sit RIGHT NEXT to smokers) but also dead.
A large group did come in, getting the waiter all excited, but once they sat down and realized "you can't read anything on the menu!" they all got up and left. Save us from roaming rednecks who lose their bearings on the way to the casino.
