Owner David “Easy” Arzola wanted to celebrate the many businesses and residents who have made this neighborhood home. Arzola has been passionate about the revitalization of Detroit, as many of us are, and has served as the chairman on the board of the Michigan Avenue Business Association, has been a volunteer to the Rouge River Project, Devils Night Patrol and the Clean and Safe committee. Let’s show our support of another Detroiter dedicated to saving the “D” – maybe we can convince “Easy” to give us a ride!
Laughter is the Best Medicine!
With the week coming to an end and the stress of life getting me down, right about now I could use a good laugh… plus I absolutely love comedy! Radio One Comedy Explosion starring Rickey Smiley, George Wallace, J. Anthony Brown, George Wilborn and Dominique is taking place at Fox Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 29th at 8 p.m., doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets range from $25 – $110. With a comedy line-up this great – you will be sure to laugh your XSS off!
Broadway in Detroit!
Hollywood seems to be calling my name and Sunday in the D kinda gives me a nostalgic feel! So why not get all dolled up this Sunday night and travel back in-time, by enjoying a good ol’ fashioned Broadway show. La Cage Aux Folles is touring in Detroit at the famous Fisher Theatre located at 3011 W. Grand Blvd. in the Fisher Building (located in New Center) through Oct. 7th. When I think of the Fisher building and the theatre, I can only imagine the extravagantly dressed people from the 1930’s being WOW’d by many movie stars and red carpet events. Starring George Hamilton, La Cage Aux Folles is 2010’s biggest Broadway hit earning three Tony Awards® this is a great show to end the week! La Cage will be featured Tuesday – Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m., Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m., and matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Ticket prices range from $45 – $125, please note children 5 and under will not be admitted to this event. Now, just a small token of advice, Don’t Be Late!… If you are, be prepared to be called out by the very brazen show characters!
Enjoy your weekend in the D! Help me out and let me know what you think I should do next weekend!
