Icy leaves as the snow comes and fall turns into winter.
I love a good ghost sign. This is over on Kercheval near Eastlawn. #Ghostsign #eastside #igersdetroit #dailydetroit #scenefromdetroit #depictthed
The old English D appears in some surprising places! I just love old signs and I gotta hand it to Columbus (even though it’s Ohio 😉) that they’ve saved quite a few.
Seriously, the new @coreandersbookshoppe space is amazing. Checked it out while picking up a gift for the little Cuz-nephew since he’s been such a trooper lately. The merchandising, the art, the layout. A true gem in Grosse Pointe Park. That district on Kercheval is really coming along with near shops and places to go with stuff to check out on both sides of the border. #Bookshop #retail #shoplocal
This mural by @waleed_the_artist is insane. Bananapants. Stunning. All the words. I take OK pics, but it doesn’t do it justice. You have to go see it for yourself at Mack and Van Dyke. So glad I did. Also neat to see in an area of town I like a lot as the first house I lived in when I was born was on Van Dyke a couple blocks north, and my grandma lived a few blocks away her whole life. As to location I tagged it to the closest thing it showed me, as this isn’t a set location in the app (yet, I imagine they’ll add it). #DailyDetroit #Mural #StreetArt #IgersDetroit #SceneFromDetroit #DepictTheD
If you’re reading this post, you’re using an app. What if more of them were made in Detroit? There’s a new @apple Developer Academy open in Detroit. The goal is to teach Detroiters not just how to code, but everything you need to be successful in the app and iOS economy. A true 360 degree program that might just help the Motor City also be a key hub of app development in the country. The idea is that this is an on ramp for good paying careers, not just a job. For more details, our guest on the podcast today was Alisha Johnson. She leads Strategic Communications for Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives at Apple, and also serves as the Program Lead for the company’s Racial Equity & Justice Initiative. So take a listen to our latest Daily Detroit podcast and learn more about what’s offered right here in Detroit.

Downtown Detroit by the Fox Theater was packed, people pouring from the sidewalk onto the street, and full sidewalks a couple blocks on either side. #Detroit #Downtown #Theater #OldSign #Night #Citylife #igersdetroit #dailydetroit #scenefromdetroit #depictthed
Happy #Pride! We’re at @ferndalepride all day today (Saturday) so come get a selfie, meet some of the hosts and hang out. We’re on 9 Mile east of Allen, in front of Secreto / Bangkok Thai / @quickly_ferndale. #FerndalePride #Pride #PodcastersOfInstagram #DetroitPodcast #pridearch
Went to a media preview of the new @rivertownmktdet by @meijerstores today. Here’s a look inside. It opens Wednesday, Oct. 6. If a few things look unstocked in the photos it’s because they’re still setting up. Also for the podcast did some interviews with local producers doing things for the market. It’s on East Jefferson, just past Rivard if you’re heading out from downtown.
I do love Mackinac Island. Maybe it’s the fact I can bike end to end with joy. Or the sunsets. Or the so many friendly dogs. Or the architecture that’s so often actually human scale. Sure there’s the giant Grand, but so much of it feels like it fits. That said, I was up here on business this week, meeting folks and getting conversations on the podcast at the @detroitchamber Mackinac Policy Conference #MPC21. So many interesting things happening, and even some I met up here that’ll come by the studio. It’s also crazy as it’s my first big event since *waves arms at the world.* It required vaccination and validation with the @clear app. It wasn’t quite as big as in past years but honestly… at least for our purposes… it made it better. And the right speed to get back into the world. They also had different color wrist bands to show how comfortable you are interacting. Overall, considering everything, well done. Pro tip: When it’s a bit chilly, the pot roast at Yankee Rebel Tavern is delicious. I’m gonna have to make some when I get back.

Sad news today. The man behind Mudgie’s in Corktown— and a big advocate for small business in Detroit — has died. Greg Mudge was 46. He will be missed.
