every once and awhile, but I'm not a fan on being part of big crowds downtown. Too many people down there that don't know how to drive in the city, and they are scared suburbianites on top of it, it quickly tests my patience.

Campus Martius has one. There's one on Utica Road and one at 18 and Van Dyke too. Don't ask me about the West Side.
