Originally from NYC and have been here for a year. My family is coming to visit the weekend of 8/9/07. Is there anything special going on that weekend? What else should we go see and do? thanks!

Any kids? Make sure you visit Puppet Art on Saturday. My 8-year old niece is visiting next weekend and I'm taking her to the show.

A significant amount, though we're not centralized like in Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens.

In the past they've done the parade down Woodward, generally on Saturday morning. The whole weekend is a pretty good time.

By the way, the wife hates the parade in Brooklyn now. She says there's always an out burst of violence, so she blocked me from ever going.

There's a new Jamaican restaurant on Mt Elliot just off Jefferson ave (Downtown area). On the NW side all you have to do is cruise down 6 mile, and there's a Jamaican restaurant every couple of blocks or so. There's a pretty good one on 7 mile and Southfield, you can't miss the color scheme on the build.

I was just thinking, a Golden Crust (or something similar) would be nice on Woodward.
