 The Detroit Bus Company’s Welcome Home Bar Crawl 

 Wednesday, November 21st, 8:00PM-2:30AM 

Welcome home, old friend! Whether you’ve been off at school or working out of state, we’re glad to have you back in the D for a minute. Kiss your mom, argue with your dad about politics… ok, let’s go get a friggin’ drink.  We’re running an all-you-can ride loop around Ferndale, Royal Oak & Berkley on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (Nov 21st) from 8pm-2:30am.  More than just a magic chariot away from your parents’ house, Detroit Bus Company riders will get linked up with exclusive specials at over 20 participating bars only available to those with rider wristbands. We’ll give you a list of these super secret specials when you board the bus. Not bad!    $10 for an all-you-can ride pass for the night.  How it works: Meet us at one of these six designated pickup stops, text us at 313-444-2781 and let us know where along the route you’ll meet us, or just stumble out of your folks’ place to a corner along the loop and wait for us to swing by and pick you up. Remember, you can track our bus in real-time atthedetroitbus.com/live. We’ll have two buses running the loop, so you’ll be able to get on and off fast.  Pickup spots: 1) Rosie O’Grady’s (279 W. Nine Mile, Ferndale) 2) 4th & Main St, Royal Oak 3) Crooks and Main, Royal Oak 4) Citgo parking lot at 13 Mile & Crooks, Royal Oak 5) CVS parking lot at 13 Mile & Coolidge, Royal Oak 6) Catalpa & Woodward (SW side of intersection), Berkley  Reserve tickets online at http://thedetroitbus.com/specialevents, or buy your pass when you board. 21+, please. As always, you can drink on the bus (Steal your dad’s beer!) but please be cool about it. 

 Frontier Anarchy: A Historial Tour featuring Amy Elliott Bragg Sunday, December 2nd, 2012: 11:00AM + 3:00PM 

Three-hundred years of history. Dozens of places you’ve been meaning to visit. The story of Detroit in person, from Hog Island to Log Cabin Park, Scott’s Folly to the State Fair. Along the way, we’ll talk parties and pranks, pioneers and pony carts. Governors and steamboat captains, tobacco magnates and tabloid darlings. We’ll visit cemeteries, statues, houses, factories, parks, and churches. And we’ll go to some bars.  Amy Elliott Bragg is a Detroit-based freelance writer & the author of Hidden History of Detroit. She loves 19th-century cemeteries, old history books and the historians who wrote them, memorial statues, prankster millionaires, and cocktails. She writes about all of these things and more at her pre-automotive Detroit history blog,nighttraintodetroit.com. Oh, and she’s a founding member of the Detroit Drunken Historical Society.      The details: This is a 2.5 hour tour. It’s BYOB because all historical tours should be drink-in-hand affairs. You may be picked up in Royal Oak @ Gusoline Alley, Ferndale @ The Imperial or Eastern Market Shed 3 @ Detroit – you’ll be prompted at checkout for your choice. You’ll be dropped off where you were picked up at the start of the tour.  You must select a seating time and stick to that time; you will not be permitted to ride an earlier or later seating as seats are limited. No passes will be sold at the bus – only online tickets will be accepted.    Tickets for both events available at http://thedetroitbus.com/specialevents/
