Daily Detroit

Latest Episodes:

Dolly Parton appreciation; Chroma opens; Northville shuts down streets permanently Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

From very south of Woodward, your Daily Detroit.

Jer chimes in from the road and Devon's at home. We talk about:

Dolly Parton to her Imagination Library book program that serves kids 0-5 in select Detroit zip codes (and parts of the rest of the nation); Plus the Lily Tomlin photo in downtown Seiverville (she's from Detroit, ya know).

As to actual stories, Chroma Detroit had an open house and Devon went.

Wyandotte is apparently making big moves in being a downtown people want to live in; and Northville is permanently shutting down two of their downtown streets for businesses, drinking and dining.

Little studio note: We're doing three episodes next week as we need time to work on the studio and for Jer to get out of the Smokey Mountains.

Impact of losing Amoo-Mensah for season; A disappointing draw; New Mexico United is next Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Jer and Fletcher catch up on the porch to talk a little Detroit City FC.

Heads up, we'll be doing two episodes this week, a bit of a summer slowdown.

Our backup studio we were using after the fire is unavailable for a couple weeks, so we're scrambling to make podcasts however we can. The best move was to take a couple days and do a proper reset.
