To All --
On Monday September 24th the Green Garage building will be open for visiting because the engineering company (NORR) we've hired will be doing it's inspection that day. We'll be there from 11am - 5pm. We're trying to target visits from 3pm-5pm. The building is at 4444 Second Ave. It is on the east side of Second between Canfield and Prentis, just north of the Traffic Jam...just south of the Wayne State campus. You can park in the Traffic Jam parking lot. We're also thinking of going to dinner afterwards at one of the many restaurants in the area.
Obviously, this will not be the only opportunity, however several of you indicated a keen interest in seeing it.
Please let us know if you will be coming down so we can be looking out for you. Thank you for your continued interest and support of this project.
