Making A Detroit Dog Bucket List // Devon's Favorite Downtown Deli // Inside The Love Building

Show notes

Devon and Jer are back for this Friday edition of the podcast. A heads up, the last segment of this one is pretty emotional.

To start, we dive into the vibrant Detroit dining scene, highlighting Ladder 4 Wine Bar, and the only downtown deli, La Pecora Nora, emphasizing the importance of revisiting and supporting local favorites.

Devon shares his experience at Mezcal Express Eatery in Dearborn, perfect for quick, delicious Mexican meals without the booze. Jer explores the newly renovated Love Building in Detroit' Core City, a hub for several nonprofits including Allied Media Projects and Detroit Justice Center, focusing on collaboration and community impact.

We also discuss the unique Periodicals store, a curated magazine shop also in Core City, celebrating the resurgence of the written word among younger generations.

We finish the show talking about the ultimate dog bucket list in Detroit. Jer opens up about his dog Gabby's recent cancer diagnosis, sharing plans for her bucket list and inviting listeners to suggest the best dog-friendly spots in Metro Detroit.
