Welcome to the Hump Day edition of your Daily Detroit, in which we run down the news that businessman Roger Penske is pouring $5 million into the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood on Detroit’s east side. It’s part of the city’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund.

Here are a couple pictures from the event:

Pretty interesting conversation in a region without comprehensive mass transit. 

We also discuss two other bits of news:

- A Detroit charter school connected to an investment fund run by tennis star Andre Agassi is closing, another example of Michigan’s dysfunctional charter school system \[[Chalkbeat Detroit](https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/detroit/2019/05/21/agassi-detroit-charter-closing/?ref=dailydetroit.com)\]
- And Detroit could get a whopping 60 new liquor licenses \[[Crain’s](https://www.crainsdetroit.com/food-drink/dozens-new-liquor-licenses-could-be-issued-detroit-if-approved-city-council-state?ref=dailydetroit.com)\]
