Daly's Restaurant Memories, Coffee Speakeasy, Boat Club & New Arts Center

Detroit's Friday crew is back! We kick things off a hidden "speakeasy of coffee" called Sml Wrld Cafe on Gratiot in Detroit, and why now is the time to get your yard and urban garden in order. Plus, the historic Detroit Boat Club is on getting on track for a major revival into a public-facing hub with restaurants, events, and rowing education. Jer also checked out the new Cadillac Arts Center near Waterworks Park, with In Thicket Books, Take Me Home, and Bowerbird Home anchoring a growing Little Village arts district on the east side. On the west side, the guys mourn the end of nearly 70 years of Daly's Restaurant, swapping memories of steam-bun burgers, cherry fudge shakes, and midcentury drive-in diner culture as the last Livonia location prepares to close. Then a serious note: DTE's proposed $474 million electric rate hike has listeners worrying about affordability. Finally, meet our Spring logo, featuring Phezzy - a pheasant because quintessentially Detroit and they're in every corner of the city.
