F.Michael 4,590 Report post Posted February 25, 2020 25 minutes ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: Yeah I mean it's a Red Wings restaurant. Probably worth going in to. A lot of people used to go to Greektown b4 games. I assume that's still the case. Possibly. When I stayed at the Greektown Casino (was about 8 years ago, and the Wings were still playing at the Joe, and I was off my leash) the 'People Mover' had a stop at both locations which made it cheap, and easy. Looking at the website - it'll be a hike to the LCA from the closest 'People Mover' station which would be the 'Grand Circus Park'...IMHO - best to head to Corktown, and park for free, and ride a shuttle bus which will drop you off a block away from the LCA. 1 arag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to think we've shared a meal together in a way... lol I was there with some family for the back-to-backs (Colorado and NJ) It wasn't until the day after the NJ game that we grabbed our dogs. Just before crossing the border. Close enough I guess. 1 arag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want autographs and memorabilia, you can try Hockeytown Authentics. If you just want souvenirs, LCA will have a lot to choose from. 6 hours ago, arag said: Isn’t Meijer a supermarket?
