On today’s show, we have some fun discussing the return of the WLLZ call letters to Detroit’s FM airwaves, and by listener request we talk about the elephant in the room, the so-called District Detroit, in the wake of the [big story](https://www.crainsdetroit.com/real-estate/district-detroit-delivering?ref=dailydetroit.com) that ran over the weekend in Crain’s. 

First up is a [new Patronicity campaign](https://www.patronicity.com/project/restoring%5Fhistoric%5Fhamtramck%5Fstadium%5F1?ref=dailydetroit.com#!/) to help restore Hamtramck Stadium, which hosted Detroit’s various Negro Leagues baseball teams during the 1930s. Hometown rock star Jack White ponied up $10,000 to jump-start the campaign, which seeks to raise $50,000 to restore the playing field and install signage.

*Elsewhere:*

Former Detroit Red Wing and NHL Hall-of-Famer Ted Lindsay has died at the age of 93\. In addition to winning four Stanley Cups with Detroit, he played a big role in helping players to form a labor union.

Detroit’s Wheels is back after IHeartMedia converted 106.7 over to the revered call letters WLLZ, giving it a classic rock format that frankly sounds different than the old classic-rock format of old.

Woodstock Apartments on Peterboro.

And we unleash many months worth of thoughts and observations about the District Detroit, the Ilitch family’s planned mixed-use, walkable and vibrant urban neighborhood surrounding the Little Caesars Arena. Do yourselves a favor and [read the Crain’s package](https://www.crainsdetroit.com/real-estate/district-detroit-delivering?ref=dailydetroit.com), which does a great job shedding light on a project that has so far delivered little other than a new arena and ample, overpriced parking.
