Greetings, friends. Here’s your Daily Detroit podcast recorded in the Paris of the Midwest on Monday Oct. 22:

**Two Detroit funeral homes are under investigation after police found the remains of fetuses and a dead infant.** One of the businesses — Perry Funeral Home — was closed by the state, with its mortuary license revoked.

**Sven reports to us about his trip from Las Vegas, where Ford briefed dealers on its plans to make 75 percent of its product lineup all-new by 2020 and unleashed the new “Built Ford Proud” ad campaign starring Bryan Cranston, perhaps best known as Walter White from “Breaking Bad.”** Ford was trying to calm the nerves of a dealer base rattled by criticisms from Wall Street and auto analysts over a lack of clarity on new products and how exactly it intends to turn around its money-losing operations in foreign markets.

Across town, **General Motors was named [No. 1 for gender equity](https://equileap.org/content/images/wordpress/2018/10/Equileap-Gender-Equality-Global-Report-and-Ranking-2018.pdf?ref=dailydetroit.com) in a new ranking of publicly traded companies by** **Equileap,** which monitors and gathers data on gender equality in companies. GM is led by a female CEO, Mary Barra, and recently promoted a woman to be chief financial officer.

It takes over the space last occupied by Montgomery Ward, which closed in 1986\. The mall has seen a number of small, black-owned businesses open for business, thanks to low rents.

**Corktown is in line to get another new coffee shop.** Lucky Detroit will open on the second floor above Detroit Barbers.

**Local favorite Bucharest Grill reopened downtown.** The popular purveyor of shawarma will open at 436 W. Columbia Street with 130 seats and 24 beer taps.

**You can now pay those painfully expensive parking tickets on the city’s free Park Detroit mobile app.**

And in giant pizza organization that owns two of our four professional sports teams news, **Little Caesars has unveiled its new thin crust pizza nationwide.** They’ll go for $6 between 4 and 8 p.m. [As we did with the 5-Meat Pizza](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2018/07/30/podcast-first-taste-test-of-the-new-little-caesars-5-meat-pizza-and-your-detroit-news/) back in the summer, plan on a live-on-the-pod taste test from your crack Daily Detroit team.
