Checked out the @thedbrief creative networking get together over at @thecongregationdetroit - was good to get a break from building the studio and see some people at a beautiful outdoor venue. If you were here and missed ya feel free to tag yourself! #igersdetroit #detroitpodcast #dailydetroit #scenefromdetroit #depictthed #313 #motorcity
We always try to #buylocal when we can. Especially when there’s a bookstore cat (apparently the name is PeeWee). So when we decided to get the team a book to have a mini book club to do some self-improvement on the podcast, friends of the pod @27thletterbooks was the place to go. We’ve had the couple who owns the place on the show before, but now they have a permanent location on Michigan Avenue, just west of Corktown. This isn’t a sponsored post or anything, just some appreciation for a local business that gave us some great service. We’ll probably have them on again once the garage studio is done. #catsofinstagram #bookstorecat #local #313 #dailydetroit #igersdetroit #scenefromdetroit #depictthed #books
At the end of the night, it’s great to hear “I love you.” #Neon #Detroit #313 #IgersDetroit #depictthed #market
Show’s gonna sound a bit different today as an camped out in Ferndale due to another power outage at the studio. We’ll make it work.
Fletcher Sharpe (@saintfdw) was in the chair today to talk sports on the podcast. Here's the rundown (with timestamps) 00:48 Previewing the semi-final between Chattanooga and Los Angeles, the winner who will play Detroit City FC in the final at Keyworth this Saturday. 04:33 Golden Nugget Online Gaming is becoming the training kit sponsor (among other things) for DCFC. But NISA betting in Michigan isn’t a thing. Should NISA – not a development league, but not a premier league – be allowed to be available in sportsbooks? Should betting come to NISA? 10:29 The Women’s DCFC team lost 3-2 to Midwest United. 11:22 U-23 Team DCFC update 12:39 Miguel Cabrera has hit homer number 493 and the watch for 500 career homers starts. He’s tied with Lou Gehrig for career homers. 14:47 The Detroit Pistons actually got the first pick, with NBA Hall of Famer Ben Wallace there. So what will they do with the pick? In case you don't know and are just following us on Instagram, the podcast is the main thing we do here at Daily Detroit. It's wherever fine shows are downloaded like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google and Overcast. We can't link to things in posts so go search for Daily Detroit in your favorite podcast app. We do it every weekday and cover all kinds of hyper-local topics in our region. We're mostly funded by our members on Patreon. That gives us the freedom to cover thoughtful things that matter to our local community instead of just what gets massive amounts of clicks in national publications. So if you didn't know, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
The flooding is very bad in the North End area of Detroit. This is Holbrook and Brush, just east of Woodward. Getting reports of problems across the region. Be safe, and after this is over a lot of tough questions are going to have to be asked and answered of our officials and leaders. At least here, the lucky ones moved their cars. Others are flooded in place, basements are flooding for the first time in a decade, and more. What’s worrying is we have days of rain ahead and our infrastructure is already failing. #DailyDetroit #IgersDetroit #Flood #Streets #scenefromdetroit #DepictThed #Disaster
This building has sat abandoned so long that it has no floors or cement and full trees grow through it. Every once in awhile someone paints the boarded windows, but it’s clearly not in the city’s radar or else it’d be down by now. They act fast when they want to. That said, if you see our stories you’ll know I’m still building our podcast garage across the street. Because as the Lorax says, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” The garage is from 1922 and it’s a work in progress. The visuals should be great. But we’re finally going to have a place to record and have people. And if a garage studio is good enough for @marcmaron and @barackobama it’s good enough for us. Anyway, @motownrecords old Studio A was a garage, too. It’s just keeping in Detroit tradition. P.S. - While sitting outside a group of middle school kids were biking by and one asked for help. Their pedal had broke and they were trying to bike home with one pedal - well, of course when asked tried to fix it and it worked! Thankful I learned some basic bike mechanics. And really should kids have to bike past this? #DailyDetroit #IgersDetroit #Abandoned #Hope #Motown #PodcastersOfInstagram #SceneFromDetroit #DepictTheD
Tell us how beautiful it was outside yesterday evening. Here’s what we saw after getting a happy hour cocktail at @queensbardetroit with a friend of the podcast. #IgersDetroit #DailyDetroit #DepictTheD #Evening #313 #City #Buildings #Trees #inthedistance
Sometimes you need to just keep pedaling. You might not know exactly how you’ll get there, but that’s ok. The joy of life is in the journey, not the destination. #igersdetroit #bike #bicycle #city #crane #citylife #dailydetroit #scenefromdetroit #depictthed
A larger construction crane is going up at the Michigan Central site. Note the cleanliness of the building, from left to right. You can see a clear line in the middle. @ford is making progress. Plus, if you come by, there’s an intriguing art installation going in up by Michigan Avenue at the front of Roosevelt Park. Picture taken on the evening of Tuesday, June 1, 2021.
Today was a road trip and Detroit history day. Met a wonderful couple kinda up North who happened to have a Hudson’s lounge couch. From three sources verified this was the style for a time in the old Hudson’s stores. It’s a great piece of midcentury modern Detroitabilia and now he’s come back home and will be part of our yet to be announced project now that the pandemic is over. We’re gonna tell our Patreon members who support the podcast and project first about it real soon. P.s. Of course he’s living inside, this was just a good time to take a pic while on break moving him. #Detroit #Hudsons #History #MCM #Couch #MidCenturyModern #IgersDetroit #SceneFromDetroit #Green #Furniture #Retro #DailyDetroit
Janet's Lunch in Grosse Pointe Park closed in 2013 but had been serving the corner of Kercheval and Maryland since 1938. It's being torn down today. It had a wrap-around counter diner and was known in its heyday for hot beef, hot turkey and pies. In later years, it had fallen into disrepair and wasn't maintained before its closure. No word yet as to what will go into the spot. Photos via @saintfdw #demolition #history #architecture #diner #gppark #igersdetroit #scenefromdetroit #dailydetroit #suburb
