Hey all - this episode is kinda heavy. We talk about the violence in Greektown over the weekend (and other parts of the city), and get into why it is a systemic and generational tragedy that is both rooted in and creates more trauma.  The deal for the Vanity Ballroom on East Jefferson fell through, so if it's going to be saved work needs to happen with quickness. GM's made the decision to delete Apple CarPlay - it's got a lot of people up in arms. We discuss why people just want to use what they want to use and just aren't that interested in yet another system. And we leave out with a remembrance for the original studio dog who sadly passed on over the weekend. She was silently often in the background of most of the shows.

Today's show is in two parts. First, the historic stone eagle has landed. After the original was destroyed by lightning, it was decided to give the Hurlbut Gate at Detroit's Waterworks Park a glow-up by the Great Lakes Water Authority. I was there for the installation this morning and talked to Doug Atkinson about it.  Then, it's makerspace time. i3Detroit has been building community in Ferndale and now they've basically doubled their footprint with all kinds of new stuff for creative minds to work with, thanks to a grant from the MEDC. i3Detroit president Matt Arnold joins me to talk about it, and an upcoming grand opening of the space.

By most metrics, Michigan and Metro Detroit are stagnant as far as population. Economically, we are slipping behind. Young talent continues to leave. Instead of wallowing in it, how to fix it? It's going to take some change. A change in priorities of what we fund and support on the state level. A change in how we build and think about communities. And a realization that what got us here won't get us there. Lou Glazer from Michigan Future joins me for a conversation that, agree or disagree, I think will make you think.  More: https://michiganfuture.org/  We do this show each and every weekday covering what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen to shows.

Normally, Devon is in on Fridays but he grabbed a pour-over and headed into the studio for a Wednesday edition of the show. We talk about District Detroit's incentives getting almost unanimous approval by city council - and even the dissent was clear to say they're pro-business and pro-development. Plus, word is the Lions are considering a move from their Allen Park training facility and business headquarters. https://www.mlive.com/lions/2023/03/lions-considering-moving-team-headquarters-from-longtime-facility-in-allen-park.html  We do this show each and every weekday covering what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen to shows.

Today's show has a few topics. First, we get word that more than 20 Burger Kings in Metro Detroit are on the closing block, impacting more than 400 workers. Then we discuss - as some stories put Flint in Metro Detroit - is Flint Metro Detroit? Where is the line? Would love your feedback. Detroit City FC had a disappointing home opener, losing 1-0 to Indy Eleven. Fletcher Sharpe breaks it down, what needs to change, and looks ahead to Rio Grande Valley next week.

Happy Friday! Devon O'Reilly joins us to talk about his trip to Mad Nice. Jer highlights a place across the street but celebrating five years, the basement cocktail bar Castalia at Sfumato. Devon makes a case for the return of the power lunch and highlights downtown Detroit's shifting restaurant scene where high end rules the day. Jer asks why we keep comparing nice restaurants in Detroit to other cities. Can't Detroit just have, you know, a nice place without it being said it's like New York or San Francisco? We do a diversion into the history of a random field in Dearborn. And discuss the expansion of Ford to truly create what's basically a Ford zone in Corktown.
