What if Detroit had built a subway? (ft. Jake Berman) Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

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.

More national eyes on Detroit sports // Michigan solar panel fight Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

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. Adding the league to CBS, Golazo and Paramount+ should help increase exposure to the area and the team.

09:23 - There's a debate in Lansing about solar panels and if the Michigan Public Service Commission can override local zoning in some cases to allow for more panels. Of course, solar panels are sometimes at the heart of the culture wars.

The Pistons don't have the best record but are fun to watch; and the Detroit Red Wings are on a strong run early in the season.

Toyota fast follows UAW wages // Michigan likes cash // Mall for sale Nov 01, 2023
