Detroit is turning out to be THE place to be this Labor Day weekend. Not only do we have the 4-day free Detroit International Jazz Festival on Hart Plaza, the Detroit Grand Prix race on Belle Isle (Detroit's Central Park) and electronic music concerts at clubs around the city to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Paxahau (producers of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival every May), but now we hear that Obama is coming to town for the Labor Day Parade on Monday! He'll be speaking at Hart Plaza at 11 a.m. and I plan to be there. Even though it will make Monday a VERY long day--get there at 8 a.m. to go through the security check, then stay until the Jazz Fest concludes at 11 p.m.--it will be worth every minute. I can't wait to experience Obama in person. The next President of the United States!
