Parishioner Dave Schafer gets a quote
In an article following up on how depressing it was downtown on Saturday, with no Tiger World Series game to be played (combined with a terrible rain), we see this quote in the Free Press.
A battle of the bands
Back outside, people were going to a stadium -- but it was Ford Field, which was hosting a high school state band competition.
One of the parking lots near Comerica Park, Lot 3 on Montcalm, adjoining St. John's Episcopal Church, was nearly a quarter filled. The fee to park was $6, compared with $20 last weekend.
"It would have been a madhouse today if they had won -- an absolute madhouse," said David Schafer, whose daughter, Susan, plays trumpet for Troy Athens' marching band.
Of course, Schafer said he had hoped for a Tigers' victory Friday night.
