Automotive Hall of Fame moving to Detroit
Believe it or not, the Hall of Fame has never called the Motor City its home.

As the Motor City, you'd imagine a place like the Automotive Hall of Fame would be somewhere within Detroit's borders, right? Wrong. It's been in New York, Washington, D.C., at a university in Midland, MI, and at its current location in Dearborn, near Ford's headquarters, but at no point in its 75-plus-year history has the Hall of Fame called Detroit home. Until now. HoF President William Chapin made the announcement on Thursday, at the end of this year's induction ceremony.

"We feel there is a need to develop a visitor destination downtown that will tell the global stories of automotive innovators and their innovations over the past 90 plus years with a spotlight on Detroit's automotive heritage," Chapin told guests, The Detroit Free Press reports. "We also want to talk about the rebirth of the industry...and the creation of a hub for autonomous vehicles and new age manufacturing."

If it's that close I should get my ass up to De-Bone to check it out. Got a restaurant there?

Case not closed, everyone hasn't voted yet. Who are you, HDRC? JK.

I see Redcoat is in Royal Oak. Near Royal Pontiac? Oh wait, they may have closed...:fall:

Yup. :D

You've never been to Redcoat?

So long as they have a Five Guys I'm good to go.
You're in luck! There's a Five Guys located at Greektown Casino (soon to be The Jack), so it shouldn't be too far. A quick ride on the Detroit People Mover should take you right to it.

They're also opening a Walhburgers there so that'll be there as well.

:laugh:There will also be a half-hour locally-made video on how to tailgate properly (improperly), and creative ways to cut in on people without using turn signals. But that's really a Midwest thang, not just Michigan.
