What is around Livonia Michigan to see or do

never been to packo's but will one of these days. looking through their website i noticed they take great pride in making pickles. the market i shop carries them, the sweet hots are awesome :yes:
 
Flipside records in Clawson has great selection of used records & tapes. While in the area check out Royal-Oak plenty of great restaurants for your dining pleasure. Also that puts you 10 mins. from the Zoo, 20 mins. to Downtown Det., 30 mins fom Henry Ford Museum. Great area, Great State , Find anything you want except a JOB. LOL
 
Do you guys really think you'll have time what with all the audio???


There is the worlds worst Thai food about a mile south. Nice digs, bad food.
 
I'll second, third or twenty-seventh Tony Packos as a definite must eat destination.

Even if not at the original location, it's been good at the other places so far for me, that's why I like it - consistently good food. I cannot say the same about other places from expensive to the usual fast food places. Packos has always been good.

The Toledo Museum of Art is well regarded and it now has a neat Glass building. It's worth a look.

Oh, the Toledo Zoo is also very well regarded as well.

I hear it's actually a darn good Zoo coming from friends/family/random people I've talked to that have been to the supposed better or "good" ones around the US/world. Their site claims it is one of the nations best zoos.

It'll be warm so it's cool to see the africa whatever exhibit and see a big funky looking supposed bird thing napping next to one of them scary bitey things with teef that swim/lurk in the water. Funky Bird, Bitey Thing...scientific names I'm sure.


There's probably more stuff I'm forgetting...

You can even watch a video of that ride, and most of the others too.

Toledo would be an interesting visit, but it is an hour away. After Bangkok Quisine, I'd check out the attractions link that onepixel just posted. Then, given a lot of spare time, maybe cruise around Toledo and hit Tony's.

I plan to be down there in a couple days. (I'm kickin' back up by Traverse City right now). Maybe even tomorrow. Too bad AK Fests don't coincide with the holidays, or I'd be there as well!
 
If you're into all things Mopar and bought up variants through the years,visit the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills. I've seen lots of photos but need to make the time to visit! And National Coney Island Hot Dogs are the best and are located all over the Detroit area!
 
Some places that weren't mentioned are Shields (various locations) for pizza, The Green Lantern (pizza and libations) in Madison Heights, BD Mongolian Barbeque (oriental & bbq) and Memphis Smoke (bbq & blues) both in Royal Oak, The Ark in Ann Arbor (music), Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit, and Mexican Village and Xochimilco for mexican food both in Detroit, Seldom Blues (jazz) at the RenCen. Also the Detroit Tigers have a home stand against the Cleveland Indians on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
