Detroit — As late as Wednesday night, Ely Hydes, Sterling Carter and John Shina — three buddies from their days together in the Peace Corps — were making plans to hit up Cedar Point on Thursday.
But they took another look at the forecast, and by Thursday morning, they decided standing in spitting rain to ride the GateKeeper wasn’t their idea of a grand old time — not to mention, oops, Cedar Point's Opening Day isn't until this weekend anyway — and instead opted to stay local for a Tigers game, weather permitting.
