Podcasts about Corktown

Hey Detroit! We are back in our TechTown studio for your Daily Detroit, and on this Thursday, May 15th, 2025, the city is absolutely buzzing with news – from delicious new spots, to political shifts, to the city growing population for a second year in a row.  On today's show: Corktown Coffee & Bagel in Core City First up, Devon brought in a treat from the brand new Haraz Coffee in Corktown, which just had its soft opening. Located at 1501 Church Street (right off Michigan & Trumbull in a new parking deck), this Yemeni coffee shop is already impressing. Not to be outdone on the new-eats front, I shared my excitement about Bev's Bagels, the latest venture from James Beard-nominated Max Sussman. Tucked into a space on Grand River (south of Warren), Bev's offers an old-school diner counter feel but with amazing bagels.  Detroit's Growing Population & Development News The big headline? Detroit's population has grown for the second consecutive year, according to new U.S. Census estimates. This is the first time since 1957 the city has seen two straight years of growth, adding 7,000 residents and becoming the 26th largest city proper in America. Mayor Duggan credits reduced crime, more jobs, and new housing.  While positive news, there's much more work to do. We discuss the big pluses and what's ahead.  Speaking of development, the groundbreaking for Lee Plaza on West Grand Boulevard (in the Northwest Goldberg neighborhood) is a monumental step. This 100-year-old, long-vacant iconic eyesore is being transformed into 117 units of affordable senior housing, with rents capped at 30% of income. It's a complex project with 7-8 layers of financing, but it's a "jewel" being added outside of downtown. Political Tremors: 2026 Governor's Race Polls New polling for the 2026 Governor's race is turning heads. A Target Insyght poll shows Mayor Mike Duggan, running as an independent, with 48% overall support among Detroit voters (up 9 points since February). He's even leading 51-28 among Black voters in the city.  Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has slipped to 32%, and Republican Congressman John James is at just 3% with Detroit voters.  Although it's early, we get into it because it shows the former Mayor has more juice than some expected. Though it's kind of in line with what we predicted. What Do You Think? What are your favorite new spots in the city? Are you feeling the growth? And what's your take on these early political polls?

Welcome to your Daily Detroit for Friday, August 9, 2024. Hosts Jer and Devon dive into a rich discussion, starting with Devon's recent trip to Providence, Rhode Island. Devon shares how he enjoyed the charm of this New England city, from its historical architecture to its seafood delights, and reflect on how it compares to Detroit's vibrant scene. Devon shares his admiration for Providence's old-world charm, but notes the city's lack of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and its surprisingly abandoned tallest building. Back in Detroit, Jer had a birthday visit to the rooftop bar Kamper's at the Book Tower, highlighting the luxurious vibe. They discuss the challenges of navigating popular spots like Kamper's and offer tips for a smoother experience. The conversation takes a turn as Devon addresses recent listener feedback, defending his stance on Detroit's potential Olympic bid and the proposed I-75 cap project. Labeled "Devon Downer" as of late, he explains the importance of balancing optimism with realism, especially given Detroit's complex development landscape. And in local news, the city of Detroit is set to launch the Connect AV shuttle service, an autonomous vehicle pilot program. The service will operate on an eleven-mile loop through key areas like Corktown and the East Jefferson riverfront.

Happy Friday! Today - a busy show.  A local man held prisoner by Russia was freed as part of a swap. We discuss. We get into a question some of you had about whether Detroit should bid for a future Olympics - and get into if that's something we even want to go for? Plus, some listeners weren't happy with an earlier episode where Fletcher Sharpe had strong feelings about Hulk Hogan. FYI. Devon also has strong feelings. Plus how media and audiences need to not just include voices of color, but allow them to bring their experience.  Finally, we end talking about the great brick debate in Corktown. A plan to redo Michigan Avenue in one of Detroit's oldest sections of town has caused some strong feelings - and we get into multiple sides of the discussion and where folks stand.  Yes, our cover art is AI generated nonsense, asking if what it might look like if Detroit held the Olympics. It's Friday, after all.

Detroit thrives with major events like the NFL Draft and Rocket Mortgage Classic, thanks to revitalizing efforts by Dan Gilbert and significant developments in Corktown.

The once-blighted, monolithic Michigan Central train station was for decades a symbol of Detroit's decline. It now has new life following a massive six-year, multimillion-dollar renovation to create a hub for mobility projects in the rebirth of the Motor City. The windowless, hulking, scavenger-ravaged structure that ominously shadowed the city's Corktown neighborhood now is home to Ford Motor Company and the centerpiece of a sprawling 30-acre (12-hectare) mobility innovation district. The building's first tenant, Google's Code Next Detroit computer science education program, was expected to move in by late June. Grand opening ceremonies included an outdoor concert on June 6, with tours for the public that started on June 7. “It really represented kind of the best physical symbol of that decay,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said. “And here we are in a completely beautiful, breathtaking facility like Detroit was in the ‘20s. But here we are almost 100 years later.” The restoration effort is part of the automaker's more than $900 million project to create a place where new transportation and mobility ideas are nurtured and developed. The train station's history reflects the city's fortunes during its heyday as the world's car capital and later misfortunes as thousands of auto workers and other residents fled Detroit for life in the suburbs. The depot opened in late 1913. But as traveling by train gave way to commuter air travel and as more Americans chose to use the nation's interstates, the numbers of people coming through Michigan Central steadily dropped. The last train pulled out in 1988 and for years after the building fell into disrepair, neglect, and abandonment. It became a destination for the curious and urban adventurers. Other buildings in Detroit suffered the same or a similar fate, but due to Michigan Central's size, it became a symbol of the city's decline. Redevelopment by its former owner never materialized. Then, in 2018, Ford announced it was buying the 18-story building and adjacent structures as part of its plans for a more than 1 million-square-foot campus focusing on autonomous vehicles. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Detroit is now home to America's first stretch of road that wirelessly charges electric vehicles. The inductive-charging roadway in Corktown was a collaboration between four primary agencies — the Michigan Department of Transportation, the City of Detroit, Newlab at Michigan Central and the company Electreon. Tim Slusser, the Chief of Mobility Innovation at the City of Detroit joined Stephen to discuss the road project and the potential future of infrastructure in the city. Then, Nick Nigro, Founder of Atlas Public Policy, joined to explore America's growing electric vehicle infrastructure.

Robin Runyan from Urbanize Detroit joins us today to give a bit of an update on development stories around town and answer a listener question. Can the Belle Isle Boathouse be saved? We discuss. We talk about what could be Detroit's icon of incompletion, the long-stalled Perfecting Church project at Seven Mile and Woodward. There's a new deal to get it going, but community (and our) skepticism after 20 years of lack of progress is high. A pair of buildings in Corktown that have sat vacant for years have been sold, raising hopes they'd be redeveloped. Robin shares the details and we discuss. A new affordable housing project kicks off in Southwest Detroit on Michigan Avenue. Robin has three big development themes for 2023. We get into them and why they matter. If you're a listener who comes in from out of town, how do you get from the airport now to wherever you're going? And she answers a listener question.

The first wireless electric charging road in the United States - where, with the right equipment, you can drive on it and charge while moving - has opened in Detroit's Corktown. Using technology by Electreon and deployed at Michigan Central, it seems only appropriate for this first quarter mile to be here. Me and Norris Howard discuss the technology, the implications, the possibilities, the challenges and more in this single-topic episode of your Daily Detroit. We're not sure if this will be the final form - this is still early days, and there's a lot to learn - but we can't help but think something important happened this week.
