Thanks Philippe, yes, friends, it is going to be great to see you all in Detroit. We have two main areas where the club plays daily games - Campus Martius Park which has an ice skating rink on the central green in winter time, and a huge Christmas tree lighting ceremony atop what is the computerized fountain in Summertime. On Friday nights, a giant screen is inflated and everyone can freely watch movies outdoors. Au Bon Pain; Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream; Border Books; and the Hard Rock Cafe are all within 200 feet of the park (if not closer).
Cadillac Square used to be (back in the 1920's) a huge area for Union congregations - and is now been transformed into a beautiful, open space bordered by annuals and more important for our specific needs, laid out with gravel pathways perfect for petanque games.
I hope to see you in our hometown in August for the tournament - and if you can't make it, you're welcome anytime!
Detroit sure has changed since I was there as a young adult. Your planned tournament looks like it'll be brilliant fun. I'm going to give it a go and sign up. See you there!
