How to get $100k for your Detroit, Hamtramck or Highland Park business (ft. Vittoria Katanski) Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

If you've shopped or dined at small businesses in Detroit, it's very possible you're familiar with a Hatch Detroit alumni.

This annual program supporting brick and mortar businesses is one of my favorites because it not only awards money, but the tools, to succeed.

And, there's a component where even if you're not starting your own thing, you can vote on who goes through to the finals to get started.

My guest is Vittoria Katanski from Hatch Detroit.

Finding the shipwrecked schooner Atlanta (ft. Corey Adkins) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

On today's Daily Detroit - we talk about a shipwreck. The shipwreck of the Atlanta was recently found, amazingly preserved, in Lake Superior. Based in Port Huron, the schooner often passed by a city of Detroit from the 1890s. Then, the tallest building it would have seen on our skyline is one you can still see today - the Fort Street Presbyterian Church with a towering 265 foot steeple built in 1877. Corey Adkins from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society joins me to share some Michigan Maritime History.

Find a lost loved one in Ukraine w/ DeTy.org (ft. Adrian Kwitkowsky) Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

The situation in Ukraine, among many other words, is heartbreaking.

Part of the issue in a warzone is connecting people together. Family members. Loved ones. Friends. And during war, it can be hard for people to find connections to home.

So meet DeTy.org - it's a site that connects those looking for loved ones in the conflict.

And a Metro Detroiter was part of the team, Adrian Kwitkowsky and he's my guest today as we talk about the project and the conflict.
