Escaping the heat to enjoy a terrific local Axle Pale Ale at cool & lively Grey Ghost bar/grill in Midtown Detroit

@RobinMazumder It's "reference pricing". Ppl rarely buy beds & don't know price. $1k bed "on sale" is same as $3-4K bed. They rotate brands on sale.

Noise levels are high at the London Wine Fair, so how best to manage a big tasting session? Headphones! #LWF2017
