Kid Rock Could Be Gearing Up For A U.S. Senate Run

After a few months of speculation that many didn’t take seriously, Kid Rock – whose legal name is Robert James Ritchie – looks like he’s gearing up for a run for U.S. Senate against Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow in 2018. In this topsy turvy political world where there’s a presidential campaign committee for former pro wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the addition of Mr. Ritchie to the political stage maybe shouldn’t be a surprise. After all, Ritchie has been a vocal Donald Trump suppo...

The Twin Spires Of Historic Sweetest Heart Of Mary Church May Be Coming Down

Located near Eastern Market on Russell Street, Sweetest Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church was built in 1893. And it may be about to lose its twin spires. They would be removed if a request by the Divine Mercy Parish (a Parish created by merging with nearby St. Josephat) is granted at tonight’s Historic District Commission meeting. Their proposal is to remove the church’s two spires and to cap the remaining steeples. So let’s clarify what we’re talking about. The brick part of the stee...

New Children's Book Teaches Pride In Detroit, Power Of Women Behind War Effort

Should The U.S. Government Move Agencies To Midwestern Cities Like Detroit?

To many, regardless of your political persuasion, Washington D.C. feels disconnected from the rest of the country.

But take a few facts into account: * Washington D.C. has the highest per capita income in the nation at more than $93,000, and rents are skyrocketing for businesses, government entities, and people. * Many midwestern cities have lost large chunks of their population, and cou...
