Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

Now that we’re stuffed with stuffing and turkey, drowning our sorrows after another Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day loss and pooped from the parade, it’s time to get out there and enjoy all the cool things to do in Detroit.

And, if you’re shopping this weekend, be sure to support your local shops!
