Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 10:10AM | Becks Davis So, yesterday was kind of a crazy day! The U.S. not only advanced to next round of the World Cup but are also top seed over England, the longest tennis match ever happened at Wimbledon, and here in Michigan we felt an earthquake.
Well, some people felt an earthquake. Others didn’t even know it happened.
With all that craziness behind us, it’s time to have a great weekend!

Corner of TRUMBULL and WARREN
woohoo!
Angela,
Yes, I'm so happy the Children's Museum is open again!
John,
Thanks for the reminder about Critical Mass.
We're big fans of the annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell. The mass hot air balloon launches and landings are fun to watch but the night time "balloon glow" is a sight to see. This event is a must for photographers.
