Open House Day 1 Report

Thanks to everyone who came out this afternoon!  Wow - what a beautiful day in Hubbard Farms!  I enjoyed meeting folks and introducing them to my good neighbors on Vinewood.  Went through a large container of Guacamole from Honey Bee Market - http://www.honeybeemkt.com/ - definitely one of the many perks in the neighborhood at less than .5 miles away.

Tomorrow - Open House Day 2 - looks to be beautiful as well.  Please keep in mind, however, that tomorrow is the Cinco De Mayo Parade in Mexicantown - it starts at noon and will take up much of W. Vernor for a few hours.  Actually, it's a pretty dynamic day in SW Detroit - but traffic may be a little more congested than usual.

I look forward to seeing folks tomorrow!

Cheers, Craig
