Welcome to your Daily Detroit!

In today's episode, we dive into a variety of topics that have Detroit buzzing. We start with a discussion about the recent Detroit Economic Club speech by Donald Trump, which left many scratching their heads. We delve into the implications of his comments on tariffs and the economic realities they present. This was recorded during the speech, so we didn't hear live the other thing he said about Detroit.

Next, we explore the vibrant new addition to Oak Park, Hanson's Hall, a cozy cocktail and beer spot that aims to be an extension of the community's living room. We discuss its unique charm and the local efforts to preserve urban fabric by reducing parking minimums.

Then, we turn our attention to the potential relocation of Stellantis headquarters, with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in talks to keep them in the state. We examine the economic impact and the strategic considerations at play.

We also talk the return of the iconic Post Bar to Detroit, reminiscing about its storied past and its upcoming revival. Plus, we share updates on the historic Lee Plaza building's redevelopment and the purchase of the old Dearborn Hyatt, pondering the potential for revitalization in these areas.
