On your Daily Detroit, we went out to one of Detroit's historic parks, Palmer Park, to learn about the transformation that has been underway over the last few years. Palmer Park Revitalization: Palmer Park has undergone significant changes, becoming a cornerstone of community benefit through infrastructure and natural enhancements. Jer takes us through the historical significance of this 281-acre park and its transformation journey. Located between Six Mile and Seven Mile on Woodward, this park is near the site of America's first concrete road, adding to its rich history. Interview with Stacy Varner: I sat down in the park with Stacy Varner, President of People for Palmer Park, to discuss the ongoing projects and the long-term master plan for the park. From the restoration of Lake Francis to the maintenance of Wither Woods, Stacy highlights the community-driven efforts to make Palmer Park a sustainable and enjoyable space for all. Environmental Efforts with Bobby Westerby: Next, we talk to Bobbi Westerby, CEO and President of Environmental Consulting and Technology (ECT), about the volunteer and design initiatives aimed at enhancing Palmer Park. Bobby shares insights into the environmental consulting field and the specific projects ECT has undertaken to restore and beautify the park.

The Authors' Tent no. 140 at the Palmer Park Art Fair in Detroit will feature 18 authors representing different genres plus poetry this weekend, June 4 & 5. "Most of the authors will have readings," said Mark Loeb, Integrity Shows director said. "We'll have poets in between." The Palmer Park Art Fair is a recreation of an event popular in the 70s & 80s. "We will have a limited edition poster," he said. "It's stunning." Signs from Woodward Street direct visitors into the huge park, one mile by 0.5 miles, surrounded by upscale historic district neighborhoods and low-income apartments. "We are a great melting pot," Loeb said. "It's a joy to be there." The unique event will have 135 to 140 vendors including food vendors such as Southern Heritage of Detroit. "I expect a lot of people," Loeb said. Author and podcast host and producer Emma Palova will be inside the Authors' Tent at 140e. Stop by. Emma will be signing her books including Greenwich Meridian Memoir about the Konecny family immigration saga from Czechoslovakia. Sponsored by Doc Chavent and The Lowell Ledger

Meiko Krishok is the founder and co-operator of Guerrilla Food (GF), a Detroit-based grassroots culinary team that uses food as medicine. GF is the team behind the  Pink Flamingo To Go farm-to-table carry-out restaurant in the Palmer Park neighborhood in Detroit and Pink Flamingo popular seasonal vintage food trailer that is located in a community garden in Corktown, Detroit. Meiko was last on the show talking about the ease and joy of growing garlic. To offer your own advice, call Zak @ 844-935-BEST TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: There was a Danish author named Karen Blixon writing at the beginning the 20th century. One of her pen names was Isak Denesen. And it's Denisen who the following quote is attributed to. The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea. My guest today, Meiko Krishok, who's been on the show before has been thinking about this piece of advice a lot lately.  MEIKO: To me all those things work in different contexts. So, like, sweat is sort of an easy one. It's like, movement or physical activity and the actual expelling of energy. Right? And how relieving it can be to go for a walk or a run or work in the garden. And then tears is another obvious one. It's sort of about that release emotion, whether it's happiness or sadness. ZAK: What makes you cry? MEIKO: Movies. Every now and again I'll read something and it'll make me cry. You know how some people are like, oh I cry all the time. At this point in my life I don't cry all the time. And then the sea. I do feel like there's something especially therapeutic about the ocean. I don't know if it's chemically what's going in salt water. You can float more in salt water than fresh water. And the waves. ' ZAK: Yeah, I can't wait to go to the ocean again. MEIKO: I've been trying to take Epsom salt baths. ZAK: That's a good home hack! MEIKO: Is it a good home hack but it's not the same. It's not the ocean. You don't get the power with it. But you do get some benefit. ZAK: Maybe you have to cry in the Epson salt bath. MEIKO: hahahah

Growing Garlic Fermented Honey Garlic TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: Welcome to another addition of Food Friday where talk food advice. MEIKO: My name is Meiko Krishok and I live in Detroit. I have a food business called Guerrilla Food and run an off-shoot of that business which is Pink Flamingo Food Truck and Pink Flamingo To Go carry-out restaurant. One thing I've been enjoying that I've been learning how to do that I really enjoy doing because it's so low effort is how to grow garlic. This is the time of the year where it starts to pop-up a little but because you grow it in the fall. You don't really need to have access to water to grow it. You just need a space to put it in the group and cover it up really well in the winter time so it doesn't freeze and I just think it's like, one of the best food sovereignty things that we can be doing that's also not very hard. You know for things like onions and stuff you either need to grow the seeds or you need to get transplants and garlic you literally just take the cloves, right? Any cloves. Even stuff from the grocery store and then you just need a place to put it in the group that can go into the ground about 6-inches or so. And then you just cover it really well. I like to use leaves and then if you have straw. So, I literally don't even water the garlic. I just put it in the ground, cover it and then in the spring I uncover once it's warm enough and wait for it to grow the little garlic scapes. It grows this little curly-cue and that part will flower if you don't pick it. If you break it off of at the right time of the year, then all the energy goes down into the bulb and then the garlic grows and then you have garlic by July. ZAK: Garlic continues to be just, obviously it's part of so many recipes...but it's the thing that I'm perpetually so intoxicated by in the kitchen. It's just the best. MEIKO: Yeah. It's so good. You can do so many things with it. One thing we've been doing recently which has been so delicious is you take peeled cloves of garlic and you put em in a jar and then you put honey on top. And the honey will ferment the garlic and it just mellows it out slowly over time. But that is really delicious. You can eat the cloves of garlic or you can the honey. And you just let it sit for as long as you can and eat a little bit every day.

On your Daily Detroit for Monday, April 22, we dig into a proposal to develop part of Palmer Park as “Palmer Square,” a mixed-use development featuring luxury condominium towers, “experiential retail” and futuristic architecture. We recently aired an episode looking into the city’s nascent Detroit Exploration and Nature Center, which is being run out of the former golf course headquarters. The closed golf course figures to be ground zero for a lot of redevelopment proposals, but any such proposal is bound to face stiff opposition. Also on the show: We dive into the news that Baker College has abandoned its plans to build a new flagship campus in downtown Ferndale I discuss some of the highlights of covering the New York International Auto Show And the next episode of “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” will turn its focus to Ilitchville the District Detroit, another topic we’ve covered on this podcast. The episode airs at 10 p.m. Tuesday on HBO. 

It’s been a looooooooooonnnnnng winter, comrades. So your intrepid Daily Detroit team was intrigued to see a new sign outside the former Palmer Park Golf Course HQ announcing that something called the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center was coming to our favorite local park. On this episode, we stop by the still-nascent nature center and walk deep into the heart of the Detroit wilderness with naturalist Jac Kyle, a recreation instructor with the city of Detroit’s Parks and Recreation department. Kyle has been working in Rouge Park, where the city last year resurrected its overnight group camping program at Scout Hollow. She talks about what she and the city are envisioning for programming at Palmer Park, which features a mature hardwood forest book-ended by the former golf course meadows. Palmer Park has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century, and today, it boasts a surprising array of wildlife, from wild turkey and fox to raccoons and opossum. So join us for a little walk in the wintry woods and learn about one of Detroit’s unsung natural gems. So enjoy our mini audio documentary!

Lyles Carr on community service - "I get much more credit than I’m due. To me, it’s the almost irrationally committed leaders and staff of the community service organizations in this Region and their supporters that really deserve the applause. They’re the ones that do the real work. We just try to support them." Lyles Carr, Senior Vice President The McCormick Group - Leadership Greater Washington A Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and this is Our Town and we have the pleasure, a distinct personal pleasure to me to talk with a very dear friend who's made a great impact on the city of Washington. A name most of you don't know but you should is Lyles Carr is with The McCormick Group. Lyles, welcome to Our Town. Lyles Carr: Andy, I'm pleased to be here although I figure you needed some comic relief at some point so that's how you got me. The Early Years A Ockershausen: Until we talked, I had no idea you were a suburban guy. I always thought of you for whatever reason as Northern Virginia and DC. Then I started talking to you and found out you're from Palmer Park. Lyles Carr: Yeah, it's interesting. A Ockershausen: It's incredible. Lyles Carr: I was born over in Eastern Maryland and ... A Ockershausen: Waterfowl country. Lyles Carr: Yep. My mother's family is from down there and my mother's still there and so I feel like Easton Maryland's home but my father and our family moved into Palmer Park in 1957 when I was six or seven years old and at the time we were the first family into the second section of Palmer Park. A Ockershausen: They expanded. Lyles Carr: That was really the farthest outlying suburb. Well, there became five sections all together. This is pre Bowie and so I grew up in there. I used to take music lessons down on Minnesota Avenue and go to church in Seat Pleasant. A Ockershausen: You don't go there now do you? Lyles Carr: Actually I do go there but it's for different reasons. A Ockershausen: It's a different world. Lyles Carr: My friend Butch Hopkins down there then ran Anacostia Economic Development Partnership and down and around Marshall Heights with some of the non profit work. A Ockershausen: Those names are so familiar to me. I'll give you my little story and then I'll let you get yours. Charlie Brotman a very dear friend of mine started representing ... He said, "I've got a kid out here that's going to be so great in Palmer Park and he's in the boys club and we're prepping him for bigger things like the Olympics." He said, "I'm not getting paid, I'm doing this," this is a true story, "as a pro bono." The kid's name was Sugar Ray Leonard. He was Ray Leonard then. Then they added the Sugar Ray. I knew about Palmer Park and all those kids that grew up there. There's some terrific athletes. Lyles, how did you get connected then? You went to high school? No, you didn't go to high school back then. Lyles Carr: No, I went to elementary school and junior high. In fact, Kent Junior High is now a police substation in Palmer Park and then I went away to Episcopal High School in Alexandria. A Ockershausen: You crossed the river? Lyles Carr: Yeah, I was third generation and had an option. You can go to the school or you can not got to school I think. Both my father and grandfather had gone so as a legacy they probably had to take me if I went. A Ockershausen: Were you a boarder? Of course. Lyles Carr: Boarder. They're all boarders. At the time, it was 270 boys and since then, 1991 they brought in girls as well and I think it's been terrific for the school. A Ockershausen: We went through the same thing at St. Stephens and they joined with St. Agnes. Now it's one school. That was a Till Hazel effort. Another Board of Trade guy that I got to meet through the Board. That got you started in a different world. It was a different world than where you grew up. Lyles Carr: It was. It's interesting,
