Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 8:00AM | Becks Davis Labor day weekend has passed, the kids are back to school and fall weather is in the air. It’s (almost) autumn in Detroit. To me that means football games, cider mills and the leaves changing colors. Oh, and sweatshirt weather—I love my hoodies.
We have plenty of beautiful days ahead of us—make sure to enjoy every minute.

Dally in the Alley!! I haven't been able to go in the last couple of years and am planning on making it there this Saturday.
I thought the Burton closed and I was sad because I never got there...was I misinformed?
Thanks Bree & Lorna! How did I forget to add Thunderdrome?
Schmee,
You're correct—the Burton lost their space. They have been sporadically doing things elsewhere, though.
Beautiful Michigan photo! I adore the city of Detroit with all of my heart even though I no longer live there it never leaves me and Go Detroit Lions always!!!
