Once again Brian and Shane are opening up their home.

Grab you bean bag chair, pop corn, and your favorite beverage for a backyard movie. The projector and sound system will be on the lawn.

Rumor has it if the weather does not participate, that the basement will be open for viewing pleasures.

More information will follow.

MCB will be providing the burgers, dogs, buns and condiments, and we encourage everyone to bring their favorite beverage as well as a dish to pass (NO GLASS) based on the first letter of your last name. Your cooperation will help assure that we don’t have too many of one item and not enough of another.

A-F: Picnic side dish
G-M: Salads, cheese, deviled eggs, dip trays etc.
N-R: Desserts
S-Z: Snacks, finger foods etc.

Everyone: In addition to your beverages and dish to pass (NO GLASS), be sure to bring a suit, a towel, and a lawn chair or two.

The bears are going camping in the woods??? Somebody better warn the real bears!

"Cruise Woodward with the Bears"

After having lived on Woodward Avenue for 14 years, I thought it would actually be nice to finally SEE the Woodward Dream Cruise this year, and you all are invited!

Dennis and Tyler will be off in merry old Holly Grove, smiling and waving and flinging beads at people; I will be at home in Bloomfield Hills, waiting for the Bears to invade.

Here's the plan. You trek out to the northern 'burbs, bringing a dish to pass (See below) and we ogle and drool all afternoon as interesting cars, and their often more interesting drivers, parade by. Bring a chair; the sidewalks in Bloomfield Hills are nice, but not too cushy. :)

I will have the grill set up, so burgers, dogs and such will be available. Sodas, iced tea and ice will be provided as well, so be sure to bring anything harder you wish to drink.

Please bring a dish to pass based on the first letter of your last name. Your cooperation will help assure that we don't have too many of one item and not enough of another.

A-F: Desserts
G-M: Snacks, finger foods etc.
N-R: Salads, cheese, deviled eggs, dip trays etc.
S-Z: Picnic side dish

Now the disclaimers:
1. Smoking is allowed outside, and on my balcony.
2. Nothing stronger than tobacco will be permitted!
3. We live in a community that is overseen by condo Nazis, so proper manners must be upheld.
4. We no longer have cats, so those with allergies no longer need worry (see disclaimer #3)

The cruise runs all day, so drop ins may start arriving around noon, dinner will be progressive, starting around 3ish.

There is a limited amount of parking available, some of which is located by other buildings. Please do not park on grassy areas, nor under the covered carports.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

“Its out of the way location is part of it’s charm in a solid brick house trimmed with wrought iron in Southwest Detroit.

Mi Pueblo restaurant is a colorful setting of archways, terra-cota walls and murals of Mexican scenes.

Peek in , and see basketsful of chilies, cactus leaves and tomatillos waiting to become part of the menu of cal do de res, menu do, chilies rellenos and tostadas. Tacos come filled with marinated pork, chorizo, chicken and grilled steak. Tortas (sandwiches on thick grilled bread come in more than a dozen varieties. Home made tamales, filled with chicken or pork, have joined the array.

The busiest time at the big restaurant, which seats 150 on the main floor and another 100 upstairs, is often on Sunday mornings, when families crowd in after church. Good thing Mi Pueblo offers a spacious parking lot which is constantly patrolled by security guards allowing your visit even more convenient.

Mi Pueblo restaurant wants to maintain the family aura even though it added margaritas and Mexican beers to the menu. The gazebo-style wood bar has no bar stools, to preserve the family friendly atmosphere “ Hour Detroit magazine September 2006”
