Lion Cubs, Lost Pints, and a Billionaire Belle Isle Boondoggle
About this episode
Welcome back from the weekend!
Norris and Jer dig into:
- The names of three new lion cubs at the Detroit Zoo
- We unpack the quiet closure of Midtown's Jolly Pumpkin, what it meant to the neighborhood, and what to expect from the new concept coming in.
- There's a viral $50 billion "Freedom City" plan to turn Belle Isle into an exclusive enclave. But in their view, it's hype, not hopeful.
- And we close with the suddenly controversial parking rules facing Stellantis workers who don't drive company brands — but this is the way it's been at factories and facilities for many years.
