Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

I was sorting through the thousands upon thousands of photographs I have of Detroit for the new gallery when I came across the picture below. I snapped the picture in Campus Martius last summer and it made me smile because a) it was summer and warm and b) what the heck? I hope it made you smile too.

Anyway, there are tons of fun things happening in Detroit this weekend. Get out there and enjoy yourself.
