After nearly 70 years of horse racing, the Hazel Park Raceway has closed its doors effective Thursday, April 5, 2018. There will be no more live horse races during the summer.

International Dark Sky Week Returns! Here's Where You Can Stargaze In Michigan

When was the last time you got a really good look at the night sky? Like, a really good look. Where you saw more than a handful of stars. I’m talking Milky Way realness. If you live in the city or suburbs I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it has been a while. Unless you took a little drive out to the middle of nowhere for some late night stargazing.
