Detroit has taken some lumps, of late: The decline of the auto industry in a place known as "the Motor City" has had contributed to Detroit's ranking among
the nation's emptiest cities, and the Lions are abysmal (but not as bad as my old Tampa Bay Bucs, who remain winless so far this year). Even some of the diversions seem cursed, of late, as
three runners died in a Detroit marathon within 16 minutes of each other. Still, Detroit is the most important city in a really neat state. Among the Detroit diversions which remain robust is
Greektown, a bastion of good food and fun in the midst of the city. Diane's clan and I invaded Greektown during our Michigan mission.
What's Greektown without Greek food? We didn't want to find out, so we ate at Pegasus.
Sister Jenny and her husband, John. Jenny and John have a really great rec-room in their basement. Color me jealous.
Diane, brother Greg, and his wife Kathe.
Niece Kelly (daughter of Greg and Kathe), Niece Lauren (Jenny and John) and a friend, and Nephew Mitchell (also of Greg and Kathe fame). Diane has a neat family. All the kids were well mannered, and a pleasure to talk with. Jenny and John's twins, Megan and Caitlin, were a little more camera shy, but they were there, too.
Flaming cheese is the thing at Pegasus. Watch out niece Kelly!
The kids didn't eat a ton, but, man, could they knock out some sodas.

"the flaming cheese," good name for a rock band! Looks like you had fun, I just read a story about detroit, they held an auction of abandoned houses, minimum bid $5k, and only 20 percent even sold .. wow ...
And, of course, the Lions are as bad as the Broncos are good.
