·Well, I have to attend now to make sure that Mad Dog is taking proper care of my former 861 Speedy. 😉
@Mad Dog....dibs by the way!
I think I'd be willing to make the drive. @JwRosenthal we can carpool...I have an extra seat, and I promise to bring Big Blue this time!

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerHi. This is just an idea and I am thankful to have support from @gbesq and @JwRosenthal if I take this further. Some help from a Metro Detroit member would be welcome also.
Proposed date. Early Fall
Some locations to discuss.
1) Dearborn. It’s close to the airport and to the amazing Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.
2) Downtown Detroit. Close to the Detroit Institute of Arts, theatres, and sports stadiums. This area has improved significantly in the last few years.
3) Troy or Birmingham. Northern suburbs close to shopping malls.
4) Area proposed by a Detroit area OF member.
5) Windsor. Huge hotels directly across from downtown Detroit.
6) London Ontario. City of 500 000 halfway between Toronto and Detroit, in case there is more interest from Canadian members than from the US.
I know the Detroit area quite well and my choice would be Dearborn if there is strong interest from out of town.
Please share your thoughts and we can decide on the next steps.
GBesq and JW. Jump in as much as you want with comments and suggestions. Thanks.
So no Mexicantown option? 😉

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerRefried beans… yuk! We used to go there after work when I was on drug squad. I was usually the DD. One girl threw up in her purse when I stopped at the border on the way back. Refried beans… yuk!
One of my colleagues made the mistake of stopping there once...his digestive system took weeks to recover. 🤮
Greektown is more my style - at least as I remember it. Haven't been there for 20+ years...flaming cheese anyone?

When I used to regularly go to GTG’s in Toronto, organized by one of the TZ mods who lived there, my evenings were pretty full...I can relate.

All those and you forgot the two most requested...
1. "How do I wind my watch?"
2. "Can I wash my hands with a Speedmaster?"
