    so in our area, we have the circuit assemblies going on, so the "letter" about when and where our DC was delayed. BUT a local elder let everyone know in their service group, and they let it out of the bag( only to have 30 comments on socal media, and only to be deleted a day later). not a big deal, right? HOWEVER, this year after 20 years of a local DC, a matter of minutes away from most of us, we are traveling 2-3 hours to detroit. so there will be the normal rush and fight to get the hotel list and find the best hotel at the best price.

    well, my spouse immediately instructed me to call and book our own hotel that we usually stay at in detroit, which is easy walking distance to ford field , NO PARKING OR DRIVING FOR US,AND WE CAN GO BACK TO OUR HOTEL AT LUNCH, OR WHEN WE FEEL LIKE IT.

    anyone have more info on this? the letter from their cong? the dates are july 25th weekend.

    as for the circuit assembly, my spouse said just before bed. "i don't want to go tomorrow, the last thing i want to do is go tomorrow" we will see if they are "sick" in the morning.

    I actually always liked DC's at the silverdome...yea I know the sound was terrible and no temperature control...but I loved the restuarants....my only chance to eat lebanese food (mmm la shish), and got to shop at the mall with my friends (we were from a small hick town and thought Detroit was the shit)

    I'm suprised they are considering a move back...maybe with detroit in such financial mess HQ gets a great tax break renting the ford field (or the area business bribed them to bring back all the business they get for endless weeks of dubs visiting in the summer)-

    I'm not sure what is worse - being told to travel 2-3 hours to hear boring talks, or as they are doing here in Scotland for the DC - doing a video link to hear boring talks from Twickenham in London!

    I wondered if they'd bring assemblies back to Detroit. Lots of great restaurants in the area. I never liked the Silverdome because I always had small kids and it just seemed so unhealthy. Of course, no venue would be good for families.

    I went to the annual conference for UUs this summer; what a difference! I'd go again. No kids at the regular sessions, but fun camp is provided for kids. And adults picked from dozens of different sessions. We were encouraged to skip sessions so we didn't get too tired! Also encouraged to dress comfortably.

    I have no information about the convention, but wanted to say hello to fellow Michiganders!

    Detroit has changed a lot in the past decade.

    I'll give you a wave 88JM. I am not looking forward to Twickenham at all.
