,.. I used to live in Detroit proper ... had to move to the burbs as there was no food stores around... they needed to improve general shopping ... then people will live there again ...

Movie ahead YEAH Detroit ... so many Jewels around the city ... Go For It

Vital conversation. Vital. I will have to think on this a bit. Thanks for surfacing these conversations!

Bittersweet. Love Keyworth.

Capital park is my favorite part of downtown Detroit, I would love it if paradise valley could mirror it. I bet the music hall expansion is going do be great for the area

Great interview, as usual.

My understanding about why that Starbucks closed is because the locations that opted to unionize were just down by Starbucks main office

Yes! Should we get rid of any lines that have more than 15 minute frequency? Why does it take me two hours to get somewhere in Detroit buses but 15 minutes in a car? WHAT!? Move the eliminated routes to increase frequency on other routes nearby. Some of these lines are literally next to each other. Then it wouldn't matter as much when the bus doesn't come.

Listen to the KrisCross Corner Podcast every Wednesday!

Take him to Detroit.

Take him to Detroit

Yep the Renaissance Center iz literally a 5 Floor Mall with a Hotel & 4 Office Buildings on top of it with 2 more Office Buildings on the side of it 😂😂

DCTID!

Go DCFC!

Just discovered you guys, love your positive vibe and knowledge of the city. Grats on going video, no doubt it helped me and others to discover you! Good luck going forward!

I LOVE video podcasts thank you!

Great job guys. Hope the move to video helps the podcast grow!

As I chose to wear my SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT DETROIT ( Emily Gail t-shirt ) TODAY …. I couldn’t expect to hear any better news ! hip HIP Hooray … the Mayor has accomplished the MAIN AGENDA 👏🏿

Great episode! Love this new format. I did have it on primarily in the background much like an audio-only podcast, but I dropped in to watch at various times. Feels more "personable" to have this experience on the table once in a while.

The first ever Warren Pride is June 29th in downtown Warren and begins at 11:30 AM! Tons of local drag acts, music, booths, and a parade! Although I did not lead the organizing, I have been involved. It’s the first year, so please give us all some grace.

I definitely agree that Detroit is picking up the pace. So much so that the three places you mentioned from years ago on Park have just reopened (or reopening soon) by the same group that owns District 78 (also on Park). Centaur reopened as Chandelier, Hot Taco as Pacos and Tizzas and Town Pump as a yet to be named bar. They just opened NFL weekend so I’m sure they’ll have signage soon. Excited to see that corner of downtown fill in again.

I love Norris ❤

Favorite episode thus far.

They should be able to bet, just not on their game because they have the ability to change the outcome of the game if they are playing

Lots of plasric pack ... How to reduce?

Oh,THAT's what those little shiny silver cannisters I see everywhere on the sidewalk are!!

Detroit is starting to grow up, hopefully all the corruption is over. 😊

Unfortunately comments WEREN’T allowed on the billboard show ( freedom of speech in NEARLY DEAD on LIFE SUPPORT in this country) My family lived one block south of highland park b4 moving to the University district in 69 so I remember how beautiful it USED to be but I had NO idea that there was that extreme racial history at or b4 then but I was very young at that point in my life …. But the VERY REASON Detroit has fallen from the number 4 spot to 29 th spot in Population is because of this TOPIC …. White flight taking the majority population resources , assets and tax base AWAY from the city with the HELP of the STATE and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INCLUDING denying Detroit a subway system ( when the government was going to PAY 80 percent of the bill ) and even recently when mass transit was brought up for consideration AGAIN it was the SUBURBS that denied ANY CONSIDERATION of it even when this would have only been light rail ( what ever that means ~ I know it wasn’t an expensive subway system ! And just recently the court system felt THEY NEEDED to step in and REDRAW the district lines because the SO CALLED non- partisan group drew the lines so the LARGEST POPULATED CITY had NO way to win votes to represent itself at the state capitol

My youngest son suffers It was through your videos we realised what it was Thank you, stay strong Blessings 💗

I have a regional plan. I've been emailing city Council for years trying to get an appointment. My sister in- law actually works with the Mayor and I still can't get anyone to hear this plan. I don't think they even want regional transit because no one ever responds.

I have SUPPORTED the Mayor from the beginning specifically believing HE would get resources needed to turn things around Personally I haven’t been disappointed Considering where the city has been in these last several decades,I’m not looking forward to him stepping down .. fearing the unknown future candidates….. perhaps Mary Sheffield since she appears to work closely with the Mayor and possible be able to keep this trajectory going in the right direction

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED the conversation start to finish . .. LIVED in the NORTHEND from 82 renting for the first 2 years then my landlord gave me the opportunity to buy the duplex for 8 grand on a land contract …. ( LOVED LIVING THERE only a few VERY MINOR issues ) I moved to Green Acres in 2010 … didn’t sell until 2015 for ONLY 40 grand even though Zillow claimed it was worth 286 thousand after 11/2 that owner sold it for 133, grand NO upgrades next owner sold for $ 220,000 … this owner sold for 420, 000 after renovations of BOTH UNITS it last sold in June 2023 for 439,900 .. unfortunately I just sold to the 1st interested buyer that came though the door using THERE AGENT 😡 ( grew up in University District ) Mumford Graduate !

The FIRST TIME a plan for a subway system in this Detroit region was bought up ( could that have been 70s or 80s ? I was SHOT DOWN by the SUBURBS because there tunnel vision mind felt it would be MORE BENEFICIAL to THIS CITY than for there’s And at THAT POINT THE GOVERNMENT was going to PAY 80% of the bill …. They’ve revisited mass transit probably a COUPLE TIMES SINCE THEN and WE ARE STILL STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE as when this plan was ORIGINALLY being considered …. I also REMEMBER LIVONIA STOPPING the buses from going out there from Detroit because THEY DID NOT DETROIT RESIDENTS GOING OUT THERE FOR JOBS on their DIME ( or JUST DID NOT WANT THESE CITIZENS in THEIR CITY !

Bedrock should add another hotel in one of the towers and make the rest residential. also make the Ren Cen like the Eaton Centre in Toronto. with shops etc. make it a destination

You all talk about housing, and this is the best chance we have. Make one wing luxury condos, another for affordable housing. Put some shopping inside along with community services. Make it a one stop destination. And it’s multiple floors that are vacant in the Ren Cen.

They can put a Walmart in there and bring back the movie theater, or make the smaller towers into hotel space or condos. A big Mall. Also they need to build a beautiful pedestrian bridge to walk safely over Jefferson

🎉 Promo'SM

Gilbert will definitely rework the surface lots on the riverfront.

If GM had been interested in maintaining a full occupancy in that building with there GLOBAL reach and contacts ( it COULD HAVE BEEN DONE ) well the city lucked out with the Cadillac Center G.M former headquarters….🤔 Will WE be at least that lucky THIS TIME ?

The writing was on the wall in 2016 when they cancelled that extensive renovation… After that is when they started moving operations out to Warren Tech center other places in Michigan and out of state

I love this episode!

🤔 theft from a Starbucks …. What’s in there to STEAL ?I was wondering WHY they closed that location it appears to be a high traffic area ….. Now I know !

What are some of the best breakfast/donut places in the Detroit

Detroit Lions fans are the best. However we have to learn how to be better. We are not used to having a great team. Someone will drop to us. However I can see Brad either moving up or down according to who Brad Holmes want’s.

Looking at it broadly, the maps are going to open back up races to Republicans. Sociologically the previous maps(2021 to 2023) allowed for us to integrate and be one metro Detroit and tear down the racial walls that separated our area historically. I was having discussions with a man of color as a state rep who represented my former south Warren neighborhood. That was progress. The new maps in place now put the county walls back up and once again separate us by race once again and stop us from having to work together.

I love Norris 🤎

I like the UFL current kickoff.

Got to be totally honest, I am not even thinking about 2026 or 2028. My mind is clearly focused on 2024/2025. Because if Project 2025 gets rolling, the 2026 and 2028 elections won’t matter.

But as far as the Mayoral race …. I don’t want to even think about who would take Duggan's place unless it’s someone that can CONTINUE moving this city FORWARD as this Mayor has DONE … Ideally I’d want HIM to CONTINUE RUNNING the city .. but I suppose he would like to move on …. The elections I haven’t voted in most recently were NON MAYORAL that is the only one to send me back to the poles NOT the presidential BOTH SIDES in my opinion are CROOKED

I’ve voted democrat for more than a couple decade’s in every election but one or two but stopped going to the poles 2 cycles ago after seeing what this biden administration has been doing which looks to me like he’s DELIBERATELY destroying this country with this out of control debt spending ( a TRILLION DOLLARS EVERY 100 days ) he hasn’t run into a WAR that he would not want to engage… and this ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AGENDA treating THEM BETTER than the TAXPAYERS and for VOTES and to lower wages as well as other agendas eventually using them for armed services and police forces..,, allowing THEM to carry GUNS when many of the came out of a prison south of the border….. I don’t relate to this democrat party BESIDES most of all Tired of being USED for my vote and getting NO BENEFIT once they take office
