Recession?

On Saturday after attending a wedding Benita and I attended the Boilermakers Dinner -dance. There are several things that make the dinner-dance so appealing to attend.It is a chance to see many of the guys in a suit and without a hardhat on, good food, and it is free! This is the first dinner-dance we have had in five years and it was the largest attended of all the other ones I have attended. Over 230 people were there I was told. It took place at the new MGM Grand Casino Hotel downtown and was very classy. Benita and I arrived just in time to eat and left before the party got to wild. We parked in the Casino parking garage and had to walk through the gambling area to get to the banquet room. One thing that was very evident during our walk through was it was packed with people putting their money in machines and on gambling tables. It sure did not look like there was any kind of recession going on in Detroit by the size of the crowd.I have included my favorite picture from the night.
