Highland Park is, again, on the brink of bankruptcy. This time, over water bills.

Eric Lupher, president of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, joins us to talk about the plight of Highland Park and a number of small cities in Michigan that just aren't big enough to provide a full set of services - and what to do about them.

Our show is in three parts. First, the Detroit Lions and their overall draft strategy, plus how D'Andre Swift ended up in the best position possible.

Fletcher went to the Michigan Panthers home opener at Ford Field and came back happy with the experience.

And, changes on the field need to happen at Detroit City FC - so what's next. Maybe some signings to make up for what was lost in the offseason, as we now know what we lost on offense?

Today's show covers a lot of ground. First, where we've been. We talk about Fishbones, still tickin' after all these years in Detroit's Greektown.

Then Brooklyn/NYC topics.

A fun thing, discussing Detroit-style pizza there and whether or not you're team hot honey.

Then more serious as we get into what real population density looks like, the hard decisions for development where in order to build affordably there have to be subsidies, and a different way to look at transit (which ties into that density piece).
