Busy Friday. Looks like we're a restaurant down, at least for awhile. Plus, Red Hook is adding a fourth location, Bedrock is buying an old Parke-Davis lab that became a hotel and more. Don't sleep on our latest newsletter. Link in bio to sign up.
New newsletter is out! We go in-depth on what we know so far about the plans for District Detroit, Olympia Development and Related Cos. Is this different than the previous announcements with the addition of Stephen Ross? The next community benefits meeting is Dec. 6. Plus, we mention the opening of Throwbacks Home in Capitol Park, with a link to our podcast episode about it - and Apt. Disco is opening on the city's eastside on Mack. We have a drink recommendation before our full preview.
I do like the simplicity of the park, and have enjoyed since I stayed a couple blocks away before there was the Rivertown Market. That said, I can’t help but wish I was a giant to just tap those tubes back in place 🤣
Building textures on textures on textures in Detroit’s Midtown. Residential, industrial, modern, flat, vertical, offices, bricks, metal and more. #Latergram #VisitDetroit #Architecture #313 #Garage
Does anyone else remember cuddle alerts on TV news, or am I that geriatric of a millenial? Anyway, our newsletter is out! Sharing that one of the best new restaurants in America is right here; Noel Night is back; Plus 14 things to know around Metro Detroit. Thanks for reading and your support. You can read it through the bio or search Daily Detroit on Substack. We also have details on how to get a free sticker.
Civic duty time. I get geeked about voting! We’ll be sharing interesting tidbits on stories and Twitter tonight and tomorrow; Thursday’s podcast will be a big breakdown of what happened with journalist Steve Friess, he’s always among our most listened to episodes when he’s on. By then we should basically know what happened with the big issues. A couple races I’m paying attention to is transit in Oakland and Macomb counties. As far as setting the pace for the region, I look at them as bellwethers of the future.
🥐🍪 Am a big fan of bread. Ended up with bread, four kinds of cookies and a cold brew. Here’s some photos of the almost-new @lerougeboulangerie in Grosse Pointe Park on Kercheval. They did a wonderful job with the interior that used to be Cornwall and before that it was Mulier’s Market when I was a kid on the east side (it stayed open for nearly a century). Check out the original butcher block near the counter. Always on the 👀 for tasty treats! Not sponsored. Just found on my travels. #bakery #streetlife #bread #cookies #metrodetroit #detroitfood #food
🛍 There's a new retail store opening in Downtown Detroit. 🚍 The State Fair transit hub is moving temporarily starting Monday. 🍻 A Hamtramck bar is named top dive bar in Michigan — and much more. So don't miss our latest newsletter. You can hit our bio for a link, or https://dailydetroit.substack.com/
Turns out self driving cars are far further out than the hype train sold. We get into the end of @ford + VW's Argo AI venture; plus, America's first vegan coney island is closing and the markets downtown are returning for the holidays. Listen to this episode and 1000+ more of our show on Apple Podcasts or wherever fine podcasts are found.
Will the new Hudson's tower strangle the Renaissance Center? I know it may seem crazy at first — but when the RenCen opened it was the death knell for many office buildings in downtown Detroit as businesses just migrated there. Without GM's workers in the office (and their back to-the-office programs haven't been working), the RenCen is difficult to make vibrant. We discuss that and more on the Friday podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to shows.
Fletcher Sharpe is doing the work before @detroitcityfootballclub hits the field at Keyworth. Listen in for DCFC talk every week on the podcast.
🚢 The Boblo Boat S.S. Ste. Claire is being renovated! 📷 Check out our photo tour of the work from when we went on board this week. 🗓 The goal is to have it ready for the public for limited events next year, but the full project may take longer. 💸 It has cost more than a million dollars so far to recover from a fire in 2018, and more will be spent by the Kattoo family. 🍾 The goal is to have it ready for weddings, parties and events as well as share its history. ⏳ Built in 1910, there's lots of things they don't make like they used to. It's one of two large boats that ran between Detroit and the now long-closed Boblo Amusement Park. ⚓️ When complete, Ste. Claire won't sail up and down the river as you'd have to tear out much of the original steam engine to make that happen. It will be animated with electric motors for you to go look in and see that move. 🎥 A movie is out with limited screenings called "Boblo Boats: A Detroit Ferry Tale." They're at many @emaginetheatres locally through Sept. 29. 🎧 Next week on our Daily Detroit podcast, we'll have a special episode dedicated to the Boblo boat progress and the film.
