On today's all-local daily podcast with Jer and Norris:

- **New Area Code:** 679 is getting added to the City of Detroit and nearby suburbs in Wayne County due to the exhaustion of numbers in the 313 code.
- **Ren Cen Tower Auction Price:** Turns out neither of us had the coin for the $9 million price tag on the 21-story tower off to the side of the Renaissance Center.

- **Wayne State Housing:** Jer discusses an article in the Free Press that highlights that very few of the Wayne State students live on campus. Norris and Jer discuss that having a large student population in midtown would vitalize that area of the city and further contribute to the culture in the city.

- **America's Best Pizza Cities:** According to one list, Detroit is not number one. Rochester, New York is at the top of a recent list. Detroit should be higher, emphasizing the city’s unique square pizza and the fact that several national chains originated in the area.
- **Soccer:** Detroit City FC is having a good season and the United Soccer League (USL) is considering a promotion and relegation system.
  - DCFC is looking to raise $10 million.
  - USL approved a promotion and relegation system. It needs approval from US Soccer (the Federation).
  - Jer and Norris discuss how all of this could improve and give opportunities to the City of Detroit.
  - Jer notes the Brownfield credits have been approved.
