Welcome to your Daily Detroit! This episode kicks off with a lively discussion on Detroit's social media clapback against Equanimeous St. Brown's comments about the city, highlighting the spirited defense of the Motor City. The conversation shifts to the financial troubles of Detroit's Riverfront Towers, now facing challenges despite high occupancy rates. Background reading: https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/michigan/2024/10/08/riverfront-towers-detroit-delinquency-morningstar/75568131007/ Next, we tackle the electric vehicle (EV) debate in Michigan, sparked by a US Senate candidate who is against EV factory and battery plant construction. That lines up with a poll that shows almost half of Michiganders don't want to compete for EV business. With EV sales on the rise and younger generations embracing the technology, we discuss the importance of Michigan staying competitive in the EV manufacturing landscape. Even if you don't like EVs, shouldn't we make them for those that do? Shouldn't Michigan stay the center of the auto industry? Poll source: https://michauto.org/politicization-of-evs-existential-threat/ Also, that poll reveals hesitance among non-college-educated voters to pursue further education.  To wrap up, they share a fun experience visiting the "Tyrannosaurus: Meet the Family" exhibit at the Michigan Science Center, a must-see for dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages.

Midtown Detroit, Inc. and the Detroit Institute of Arts have announced the winner of its DIA Plaza | Midtown Cultural Connections international design competition, first launched in 2017. Detroit Square is a proposal from an international consortium led by Paris-based Agence Ter and including Detroit-based Akoaki, rootoftwo, and Harley Etienne. The proposal reimagines the 83-acre Cultural Center in Midtown and its 12 educational and cultural institutions, highlighted by the DIA, the Detroit Public Library, the Detroit Historical Museum, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the Michigan Science Center and several others. It includes major new green spaces, a winding greenway connecting the 12 institutions, cafes, art installations, performance spaces and two plaza areas that could serve as public event spaces and warrant the temporary closure of Woodward to vehicles. There’s also a big focus on adding public Wi-Fi and 5G cellular connections throughout the site. In addition to talking about that on today’s show, we cover: Royal Oak has had enough of your Woodward cruise shenanigans, and police there are adopting a zero-tolerance policy toward speeding, illegal parking and littering. Google is investing $17 in expansions in Detroit and Ann Arbor. The Special Inspector General For the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or SIGTARP, will audit demolitions in Detroit and other Michigan cities to monitor against the spread of contaminated soil. About 100 security guards in downtown Detroit have voted to go on strike. A man listed by police as a suspect in a string of serial killings in Detroit has been charged in an attack after his alleged victim was able to escape.
