Metro Detroit may have been a very different place if a dedicated subway, light rail or elevated system had been built at one of the many opportunities, all the way up to the 1970s. I talk with the author of the "Lost Subways of North America," which covers our continent's aversion to mass transit. But it's not all doom and gloom - some cities are stepping forward, and Detroit and Metro Detroit can, too.

Detroit Red Wings fan Norris Howard is in. 02:47 - There's a new deal that'll put Detroit City FC on national television more often, as well as the league they're playing in.

Somehow, we figured out how to get four Daily Detroit contributors in one room! Robin Runyan from Urbanize Detroit, Fletcher Sharpe and Shianne Nocerini joined me at the Cambria Hotel's soon-to-open modern Mediterranean fusion restaurant CIBO. Thursday night was their official "grand opening," though the hotel and amenities like 5 Iron Golf have been soft open for awhile. This renovation of WWJ's old radio and TV studio really adds some pizazz to an Art Deco masterpiece, and we did a first look of the whole thing. Here's Robin's article in Urbanize about it: https://detroit.urbanize.city/post/inside-art-deco-inspired-cambria-detroit-hotel Plus, we talk a little about the new U of M Innovation Center that got approved by the Board of Regents.  Feedback as always - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or 313-789-3211 Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonapple  Or Spotify: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonspotify  Thanks to our members: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit  Or those who do a on
