Podcasts about dybis

This week on the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, conversations about the rich history of the Delray neighborhood in southwest Detroit and why an author and archivist believes building the Gordie Howe International Bridge (GHIB) is helping to fuel a rebirth of the community. Karen Dybis, who has been researching the history and culture of Delray for several years, talks about what she's learned researching history and recording oral histories with residents. Later, Mohammed Alghurabi, the long-time Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project manager on the GHIB, talks about the relationships he's developed in the neighborhood over many years and his appreciation for the residents. Mohammed shared his background with other projects and his work on the GHIB on the podcast in 2019.In an extensive Detroit News story (subscription) published Dec. 10, reporter Christine Ferretti wrote: "After more than a half-century of neglect, the industrialized southwest Detroit community in the footprint of the under-construction $4.4 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge is finally getting attention. The city is in the midst of what's believed to be the first planning effort of its kind to help define Delray's future with a mix of development to spur jobs and amenities for its long haulers."Also discussed: the ongoing redevelopment of the Detroit Riverfront and MDOT's collaboration with other partners on projects that will enhance opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists from east of downtown to the multi-modal components of the GHIB.Dybis also explains how the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority's Community Benefits Plan promises to ensure economic, environmental and social benefits for residents and business owners in neighborhoods on both sides of the bridge. As she told the News, "You expect the bridge to be the enemy or the bad guys, and they are so not. That's the reason why things are getting better. They are actually trying to get money to people who haven't had money in decades."

Because of disinvestment, changing demographics and the construction of the new bridge to Canada, the Detroit neighborhood of Delray is disappearing. Local author Karen Dybis is working to preserve that history. If she’s successful, she could create a template for how the memories and stories of our entire city and region can live on for future generations. In this episode of the Daily Detroit podcast, we talk about her project and the importance of saving Detroit’s memories. If you’re motivated to help support it, the GoFundMe link is here.

The best and most popular viking metal duo “The Brothers McCraw” is marching their way across Europe, bringing music and/or violence to all of the countries therein.  Like any self-respecting metal band, they do an extended tour in Scandinavia.  However, a terrible storm creeps up on their ferry, forcing them to port at Dybis, a small and fairly rural island off the coast of Sweden.  The band takes up shelter in a local hostel and prepares to run a few concerts in town, because wherever the Brothers go, they bring only music and violence.  It appears, though, that the locals lack the musical sensibilities of their neighbors. . .
