Daily Detroit

Fletcher Sharpe is in on this Tuesday talking all about the Detroit Lions, U of M's new basketball coach Dusty May, Michigan Panthers and Detroit City FC.

The Rundown:

00:47 - So it turns out Cam Sutton was at the Lions practice facility doing strength work when the organization found out about his warrant. Should they have turned him in? Was advising him to turn himself in the right way to go?

04:47 - The discussion of who might replace Sutton as CB continues, and the name Marshon Lattimore keeps coming up.

09:13 - Dusty May is in as Michigan's new basketball coach, and we're positive on the move.

12:16 - Events coming up this weekend including the NCAA Midwest regionals and the kickoff of the Michigan Panthers season

15:11 - Jer and Fletcher were at the Detroit City FC home opener, and we get into what's different about the 2024 squad and why this club is more fun to watch than last year.

Today we talk to barchaelogist and historian Mickey Lyons,who recently had a piece in Punch called "Detroit's Third-Shift Bars Were a Lifeline. Now They're a Dying Breed."

Third shift bars serve first responders, police officers, medical staff, factory workers and more who work while most of us sleep.

They're a thing unto themselves, and in recent years have been fading away. Metro Detroit was home to many of them as we had a large third-shift automotive manufacturing base. As production moved and contracts changed, there are fewer of them.

We get into this changing culture in our conversation, and why it's still really important someone who works different hours has a place to hang out and unwind.

We also mention the upcoing Hamtramck Historical Museum fundraiser she's involved with. That's on Saturday, April 13. https://www.facebook.com/events/755670272947261/?ref=newsfeed

Norris Howard is in for a big show. We talk about everything from Detroit music, a prediction on automotive that Jer got right, and the continuing population losses in the region.

01:31 - Emenim is coming out with a new album, and Norris has a love letter to the Detroit rap scene

Fletcher Sharpe is in this Monday, March 18 and ready to go to talk stories around town, on the court and on the pitch.

00:38 - We get into the details on DAX, the Detroit Airport Express, a new bus pilot directly connecting Downtown Detroit and Metro Airport. Fare is just $8 and there's 16 trips a day starting at 3:30am. It seems small, but it's a big step forward ahead of the NFL Draft.

04:34 - Both Oakland University and Michigan State University made the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. We talk about both, and give real credit to the long time coach of OU for making that program go.

11:06 - Detroit City FC won over Colorado Springs Switchbacks 2-1. The game winning goal is best described as an "exercise bicycle kick," but a win is a win and the squad in the opener looked stronger than last year. We discuss. Next match is against Loudoun here in Detroit on Saturday, we hope to see you there.

Some big news in downtown Detroit development, as there's word of changes with the plans for the District Detroit to focus on residential, pausing plans for an office tower next to Comerica Park.

And then we get into a discussion about the idea of capping or putting a cover over I-75 in downtown Detroit over by Brush Park, Foxtown and more.

A little over $4 million is being deployed by the Federal Government to study the idea as part of a Biden administration plan to reconnect communities split by freeways. Plus, we start the show debating whether booze should be at laundromats.

The rundown:

02:16 - Booze at the Laundromat?

Can sustainable, short food chains work in Metro Detroit, Michigan and America? Many know Marrow as one of Detroit's best restaurants in the city's West Village neighborhood; but owner Ping Ho and Chef Sarah Welch have big plans ahead.

They include a sustainable meat market in Eastern Market (as well as a Birmingham location) - and helping build out supply chains and practices that focus on local and quality.

In an interesting conversation the the Daily Detroit studio at Techtown, the pair sit down with Jer and Norris to talk about all of it; as well as Backbone Hospitality that also includes The Royce wine bar and Mink, which focuses on seafood.

There's so much to enjoy in Detroit, but did you know how much?

A refreshed list of bars, restaurants and cafes across the city - focused on those that are experiences and small businesses - is out. More than 900 spots to see if you've done every one! Plus, it's broken down by sections of the city depending on where you live or visit.

All newly updated for the first time since the world paused. The City Institute is an organization that helps people be in love and lift up where they live.

Based here in Detroit, their work spans out - sometimes bringing the best ideas from other places back, too. In a conversation perfect for 313 Day, Jeanette Pierce joins us to talk about so many of the things that make Detroit great, as well as things cities and regions to can do to take it to the next level.

You can get that list and learn more at: https://www.thecityinstitute.com/
