I say we should grab a bite to eat before the show!

Is Great Lakes Crossing a pretty central spot?

I'd like to make this one, for once...lol. Im in Harrison Township and would be willing to travel ~45 minutes or so.

probably the best suggestion- a very smart location with lots of space, choices for eating, and easy access- followed by a quick cruise down I-75.

 

[jham]

Does great lakes crossing have a parking garage?

Sometimes I have some good ones!

 

[MichEnvoyGuy]

Does great lakes crossing have a parking garage?

Not that I know of - Im pretty sure all of the parking is open...BUT its a huge lot with hilly/rural background for some awesome pic taking opportunities! (and Ill bring my EOS 1000D!)

it doesnt. its all open parking lot- very spacious. great lakes crossing - Google Maps

 

[Envoy4Life]

So is it decided? Great Lakes Crossing it is?

 

[jham]

So is it decided? Great Lakes Crossing it is?

I would say yes. But let's have a plan incase of inclement weather.
So are we doing the 20th or 21st?

 

[MichEnvoyGuy]

Awesome!!

Now I dont want any judgement made of me or my truck; my Envoy is nearly bone stock aside from a GM bug shield, tinted windows, and vent visors. Oh yeah, and my "Four Winns" vinyl graphic on my back window

 

[jham]

well all of us were bone stock at one time

 

[MichEnvoyGuy]

Ha! Yeah but Ive had my 'Voy since 2004 Im just not real big on mods... Well, back in 2005/2006 I installed an OEM Navigation head unit. Thats about the extent of how far I'd go

I would like to one day cut off my factory fart can resonator and straight pipe it out the side. Does that count as a mod? lol

 

[Heepish]

Great Lakes Crossing sounds like a great place to me too! Count me in for Mall Crawling
Plenty of space to park, walk, and they have a Bass Pro shop :wootwoot:

Um hello, what about that awesome chinese food place in the food court?!?!

And when I die, my vision of heaven is a Bass Pro Shop...lol.

I've always been a fan of Sbarro and Great Steak & Potato Co... come to think of it, there are so many good places in there for food...Is Johnny Rockets still in there, by chance? In the years of the place being open, I've never set foot inside of the Rainforest Cafe.

It's up to you guys!

I need to worry. I'll be driving the Malibu instead of the Envoy.

Food is good no matter what.

 

[Heepish]

Food is good no matter what.

Agreed

As to the day, either the 20th or 21st is fine by me! Depending on the time, I'd suggest the 20th- it may be less crouded then.

I don't think I can do the 20th. If we can do the 21st in the morning, that would be optimal.

Morning sounds like a great idea! Is there any possibility of having a tailgating party in the lot somewhere?

I don't think morning will work for everyone my drive time is around 3 hours

 

[Heepish]

Crap...sorry man, I forgot some people would have to commute farther than others

 

[Wishbone]

I'd still prefer Friday the 20th. The Saturday crowd on the 2nd to last day of the show really doesn't do it for me.
But I'm just one vote, concensus rules... I'm in either way.

I think I would prefer the 20th also
Chris said the 20th as well
I am pretty sure I can get another one from our last meet. Ronnie Even though he's a Tahoe guy now

 

[Busterbrown]

My vote is Friday. I'd be walking the fine line with child abuse if we went on Saturday. Ask my wife!

 

[Heepish]

I'd also prefer Friday, if we do decide to meet up at the Auto Show. We always get prime parking in the Millinder Center, since mom works at the Renaissance Center. 34 years at GM and counting :wootwoot:

 

[jham]

1. jham (Jeff and family) can make any of the dates talked about
2. SSwannabe (Dave ) and SS member (Allen) again 21st or 22nd ... 22nd preferably "sorry guys no bounce house this time" lol
3. Busterbrown (Chris maybe with Family); Friday the 20th would be a better date for me.
4. Envoy4Life (Luke) Any day that weekend

8. ItsOnVoy; Maybe, Will know closer to the time

so the 20th it is. I would say to meet at Great lakes crossing at 12pm. Then go to the show

 

[Heepish]

So we would be doing both? I wouldn't be able to rendevous with the rest of you at Great Lakes, but we would still be going to the auto show. Friday still sounds good to me, but I need to tell my buddy to take the day off, if possible. It would be me, the folks, and possibly that one friend of mine.

I assumed everyone wanted to meet up for lunch at Great Lakes Crossing. Am I wrong?

 

[Heepish]

I assumed everyone wanted to meet up for lunch at Great Lakes Crossing. Am I wrong?

I'd have to wait for the old man to get back from work, which could be anywhere from 11:30-2:30ish; unless he ends up not wanting to go to the auto show (he never really gives us a straight answer until we're telling him we're getting ready to go), in which case the rest of us should be able to make it out to Great Lakes Crossing for lunch.

And to be honest, I thought they were each individual ideas for meets...

 

[Envoy4Life]

If we did do the 20th, it'd have to be around 3 PM for me. What about the weekend before? It'd be cool to do it on the 15th.

3pm meet at the show then we all have dinner after

 

[Busterbrown]

The earlier the better for me. 12 would be better than 3pm.

 

[Envoy4Life]

3pm meet at the show then we all have dinner after

If we can do 4 PM, that would be awesome. I can make that for sure.

 

[Envoy4Life]

Also, are you guys going to buy your tickets online?
