Impact 2009

Today is the day for Impact 2009 the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce's annual public policy forum. As a member of the chamber our CEO Sean Duval is attending in hopes to help the forum help accomplish its ultimate objective of getting local businesses to work together for the betterment of the community.

At Impact 2009 we hope to accomplish this through the five A2 Success initiatives that are:

Corporate leadership
Expand to a regional transit system
Government efficiency and effectiveness
Improving education performance in Washtenaw County
Creating a Washtenaw Avenue talent center

Working with Impact is another sign that Golden Limousine is a company that works to help the community and that through the chamber of commerce we are willing to do what it takes to improve it as well.

Tigers-Twins Four Game Series

The AL Central Division race all comes down to this weekend. The Detroit Tigers are holding on to a rail thin two game lead over the Minnesota Twins going into their last seven games including a four game series with the Twins starting today. Essentially the race comes down to this series as well as the three game series against the Chicago White Sox this weekend.

The first three games will all be at 7pm and the game on Thursday will be at 1pm. In order to wrap up the division they will need to win at least three games. The stands at Comerica Park will be full, the whole state of Michigan will be paying attention and Golden Limousine wants you to be there.

Our sporting event shuttles get you too and from the game with time to spare and our staff will be courteous and receptive to you and your party. As a local company we sympathize with our local teams and want you to be able to be there for them for the most important stretch of the season.

Last Call For Detroit Restaurant Week

This weekend marks the end of Local 4's Detroit Restaurant Week and here at Golden Limousine we would like to take this opportunity to remind you once again about our Dining In The D packages. Two of the restaurants we have listed there are a part of Restaurant Week, Andiamo's and The Whitney. If you are interested in checking out either of these fine restaurants during this weekend or in the future you should call Golden Limousine if you need transportation. And remember wherever you go, you're golden.

Big Ten Opener Shuttles

The Michigan Wolverines are 3-0 going into their conference opener this Saturday against Indiana at noon and Golden Limousine is going to be able to shuttle you to and from the game again this week. Just like during the first two weeks of the season we will be having shuttles from the parking lot at Solo Aviation at the Ann Arbor airport. The parking is free and the shuttles cost $5 per person both ways.

For those who want to go to the game at Michigan Stadium but don't want to worry about the hassle of parking in Ann Arbor, this is a golden opportunity to avoid the normal hassle of trying to park in the city. There will be a tailgating starting at 9am and the shuttles will start leaving for the stadium at 10am, two hours before the game starts. This will give our customers free parking and cheap transportation to the game with plenty of time to take in all aspects of the game day experience.

Solo Aviation is located at 801 Airport Drive, Ann Arbor, MI, 48108.

Restaurant Week in Detroit

This past Friday was the beginning of Detroit Restaurant Week which runs through September 27. During this time 17 of Detroit's finest restaurants will be giving discounts on dinners all week. Each restaurant participating will run a three-course dinner, showcasing the chef's innovative culinary creations, with a fixed price of $27, which excludes alcohol, tax and gratuity.

With this going on we here at Golden would like to take the opportunity to direct you to our Dining in the D page on our concierge site. If you try the Whitney during this week and want to try it again you should look into our transportation options for it. We provide affordable service here as well as to other fine restaurants in the Detroit area which we help showcase. These are one of the many ways that our golden concierge service has been showcasing the nicer side of Detroit as well as doing its part to help with the recovery of the economy.

E-Golden Concierge

We are currently revamping our E-Golden Concierge page at the Golden Limousine website, adding more great activities to do here in Detroit. Including Dining in the D, Romance Packages and many more golden opportunities to enjoy yourself.

Here at Golden the reason why we are focusing our energy on things like this is because we believe that by showing people a good time in the Detroit area we can showcase the area in as positive light as possible. This is done by our staff of trained professional drivers who get people on time and in style to wherever they are going. But the way that they are enabled to do that is by advertising ourselves and local businesses that we service by placing them on our site.

In doing these things we are helping local businesses and doing our part to help revitalize the Detroit area. In this economy we are doing our part as a business to help not just ourselves, but others in an area that is trying to comeback from the recent recession.

Above everything else we are revamping the E-Golden Concierge site to remind people that wherever you go you're golden.

Change in plans concerning shuttles

Star Trek Exhibition: the final weekend.
