The helpings were huge; greasy
The woman ate every bite
There was a surly waitress who ignored
The Fly
that circled throughout the meal
Ten Reasons why the North American International Auto Show WON'T move to Novi
JUST FOR FUN:
So there's been some talk recently -- well more than talk, there's a threat rolled into a recently passed senate bill that will put the same Cobo transfer deal that the Detroit City Council rejected in February in front of the council again to vote on. But this time the state is holding a water gun spray painted black to their heads and they think the council won't know the difference. L. Brooks is a white male version of a hustlaaa, of a hustlaa, of a-of a hustlaa. He's saying "This is a stick up, stick up, gimme that hall or that Auto show!" It's called the "if you don't we'll move the auto show to Novi," caveat.
This nothing more than an obnoxious bluff. Why would the biggest auto show on the continent move from the major U.S. city that is in history for being the birthplace of the automobile to some deadly dull midwestern city like Novi Michigan?
The Detroit City Council should not sweat about the Auto Show moving to the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. There are bigger fish to fry. Like Michigan losing the show altogether. The state and the city should be in talks not bickering with each other and giving CPR to dead legislation. These are tough times for Micihgan and leaders should act accordingly. The Cobo center does need to be repaired. No doubt. But if the state can give $9 million to the rock financial showplace for expansions it can give Detroit to fix some loading docks and repair some concrete.
But anyway here's ten obvious reasons why the auto show won't go to Novi:
10. WTF is there to do Novi other than 12 oaks mall and some skeezy nightclubs?
9. Since when is Novi a major U.S. City?
8. There are no casinos in Novi.
7. There is no international riverfront in Novi
6. A travel events page lists "Things to do in Novi: (1)" Seriously, there's only one thing listed to do. See for yourself: CLICK HERE
5. International Auto enthusiasts don't usually consider cow tipping a thrilling pastime
4. The Rock financial Showplace will need more that $288 mil to turn it into a Cobo Hall.
3. Why does the region wants Cobo for themselves so badly if they can have the beautiful Rock financial showplace in Novi? L. Brooks just wants what he can't have and Monica Conyers playing hard to get ... ok just kidding.
2. The Auto show is shrinking like a wool sweater in a dryer. Last year they didn't even use all the space in Cobo due to tough economic times. Is there some boom we don't know about that's gonna take place between now and January? Seriously what's the rush for this $288 million expansion? They do need the docks fixed and some repairs. But that's what we have the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) for, no? Nothing a little teamwork can't fix.
1. THE NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW WILL MOVE TO CHICAGO OR L.A. BEFORE THEY MOVE TO NOVI. NOVI IS NOT EXACTLY AN INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ATTRACTION. WHO ARE WE KIDDING HERE? AT LEAST DETROIT HAS OPERA, GAMBLING, THE PEOPLE MOVER, UNIQUE DINING OPTIONS, ETC. NAIAS ORGANIZERS AREN'T THE ONES THREATENING TO LEAVE DETROIT! IT'S THESE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATORS THAT WANT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND IT'S ALL A POLITICAL SHOWDOWN BETWEEN URBAN/SUBUNRBAN BLACK/WHITE, REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRAT.
Detroit, It's a DAMN SHAME.
That's the word,
