It's that time of year again, filled with holiday cheer and ice sculpting in front of the DIA. Throughout Midtown, you'll get to see the best of our local shops, museums, and historic churches. With over 60 venues, it'll be tough to fit everything you want to do and see!]]> http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/12/noel-night-is-here/feed/ 0 http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/10/urban-legends-and-sugar-skulls/ http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/10/urban-legends-and-sugar-skulls/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:12:35 +0000 alissa http://iamyoungdetroit.com/?p=2998 You might be one of the many who celebrates Halloween for weeks before the Holiday, but if you're a procrastinator, you've still got a chance today and tomorrow! There's plenty of Halloween fun in Midtown. Detroit is hosting it's own haunted house, Detroit Urban Legends, over on Cass & Selden! Then, grab some sushi at Wasabi surrounded by ghouls and ghosts-- they've went all out with the decorations. If you're a Detroit sports fan, Lion Louis Delmas and Piston Charlie Villanueva are hosting the first annual, Bowling Spook-Tacular. The event will feature bowling and a costume contest, with 100% of the event proceeds going to charity. Interested in doing some civic service Halloween night? Help keep the city safe by volunteering for Angels Night, or follow their tips to help out from home.]]> http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/10/urban-legends-and-sugar-skulls/feed/ 0 http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/10/why-dont-we-own-this/ http://iamyoungdetroit.com/index.php/2011/10/why-dont-we-own-this/#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:49:12 +0000 alissa http://iamyoungdetroit.com/?p=2987 Have you always dreamed of owning a piece of the city?
