Locations?

Hello!

I have two locations for consideration:

Panera Bread
41950 Ford Road, Canton, 48187
It is close to I-275 and has a big dining area- but it is only
open until 9 pm
This may be more accessible for some.

or-

Liberty Street Brewing Company is located at 149 W. Liberty Street in
Plymouth, Michigan
This is a smoke free microbrewery - great atmosphere and beer -
