atomicpink... I'm about 5 miles southwest of downtown, I can see the tallest building from the main street here(I'm actually from Detroit... but here for school.)
I'm toying with showing up at 9:30 when the box office opens and trying to get tickets, and if I get some jump back on the train and enjoy the warmth of my dorm until 3pmish.
I think I saw somewhere in this thread someone is thinking of going to the Rock Hall... if its REALLY cold outside you might want to jump on the train at the Rock Hall and take it to Tower City(aka an enclosed, underground walk way to Gund/The "Q".
