Thunderdrome!There always seem to be cool, and sometimes unusual, things to do in Detroit. This weekend isn’t any different. How would you like to start your weekend off with decadent “Adults Only” treats?
Head to Campus Martius on Friday, June 29th and you’ll be pampered with a Dove Ice Cream Bar, a 5-minute massage and a manicure. Yep, all for free! The event starts at 11:30 a.m. and will last until they run out of supplies. Leave the kids at home, this is for adults only.
