Detroit —  On a day filled with peanuts, street drummers and beer, there are a few things Detroiters could only see on Opening Day while walking to the ballpark from Woodward Avenue. 

Cheli's loses wheels

Workers of Cheli's Chili Bar continued serving beer as they watched their precious bus hitched up on a tow truck Friday morning for parking in a no standing zone. A worker was too stressed to comment. The bar soon went from free entry to a $20 cover charge.

Kids have more fun

Many kids whose parents pulled them out of school for Opening Day Thursday got to miss two days since it was postponed. Olivia, 11, said she couldn't be happier to spend the days with her family and not in math class.
