The 54-inch wide pipe arrived in Southwest Detroit Thursday to replace a section that failed earlier this week, causing massive flooding that drove many out of their homes.

The GLWA says that it’ll be at least two weeks until water service is restored.

ICYMI, we talked about the details of the flood on our Daily Detroit podcast earlier this week.

Glad to see The Clique get some press

If you've been around Detroit for at least a minute, you know how important The Clique is. It's this diner on East Jefferson where you might run into everyone from a neighbor to a public official.

Bridge Detroit did a great write-up looking at the ups and downs the spot has faced. Go read the thing.

I'll be honest in that I've lapsed in going since the pandemic. Going to fix it this month. Diner breakfast is the best, IMHO.

This episode of Daily Detroit dives deep into the devastating flooding that impacted Southwest Detroit, with hundreds of homes affected.

Let's celebrate 313 Day together with Detroit trivia

Two things our fellow Detroiters have are pride and a competitive spirit!

So we at Daily Detroit thought we'd have a bit of fun on the made-up holiday celebrating Detroit - 313 day, March (third month) 13th - and host Detroit-themed trivia.

It'll happen at Tocororo in Eastern Market, doors are at 5pm and we'll get trivia going soon after 6pm.

Facts, history, anything is on the table.

We'll also put together a very special live podcast of Daily Detroit for the intermission (our show, if you're a listener, is usually only about 20 minutes long).

Trivia will be hosted by noted local author, journalist, and barchaelogist Mickey Lyons.

You'll be able to grab an alcoholic (or N/A) drink, order some food from their kitchen, and have fun with fellow Daily Detroit readers and listeners.

Tocororo has a very accessible drink menu, so no matter your price point there's something for you. Be sure to tip your bartender!

So head over to Eventbrite and register, free!

Happy Valentine's Day! Jer and Devon made it into the studio through the snow to record something for just for you.
