Detroit Buzz: A Look at What’s Happening in the City and Beyond!

Hey, Detroit! Buckle up, because there’s a lot happening around town and in Michigan that you won’t want to miss! From exciting construction expos to mouthwatering food deals, here’s the inside scoop!

The Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO 2024 is Coming!

Mark your calendars for February 14 because the Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO 2024 is rolling into Novi. It’s the brainchild of the Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan (HBA)! This expo is massive—it’s Michigan’s largest design and construction event, so if you’re in the building biz, this is where you want to be!

On this exciting day, the Suburban Collection Showplace will be buzzing with over 150 exhibitors showcasing the latest tools, tech, and tips in both the commercial and residential sectors. You can attend all sorts of educational workshops and safety training sessions, all designed to keep you ahead in this fast-paced industry.

Kevin Koehler, the president of CAM, shared, “This event provides exceptional business resources, networking, and educational opportunities.” And don’t forget the Economic Forecast Breakfast at 7:30 a.m., featuring economist Daniil Manaenkov from the University of Michigan. Just remember, access to the exhibit floor and workshops is totally free, but the breakfast requires a ticket!

Upgrades for Detroit’s People Mover

In transportation news, if you rely on the Detroit People Mover, listen up! Starting January 15, they’re kicking off a series of station upgrades that include new surveillance cameras and PA equipment. It might mean some hassle as stations close for five days at a time, but it’s all about making your ride safer and more reliable!

Robert Cramer, general manager of DTC, assures us, “This round of upgrades will improve our ability to provide a safe transportation experience and to communicate more effectively with our riders.” So hang tight as these improvements roll out!

Corporate Moves in Grosse Pointe

In an important business shakeup, the Brieden Consulting Group in Grosse Pointe is joining forces with Oswald Companies from Cleveland. This merger aims to enhance services for employee benefits in Michigan. Everything remains the same at the Grosse Pointe location, but there’s now a boost in resources coming your way!

Tasty Deals from Little Caesars

Foodies, rejoice! Little Caesars is bringing back its beloved Slices-N-Stix, now available with exciting new toppings like bacon and jalapeños! For just $7.99, you can grab a delightful combo of four pepperoni pizza slices and eight cheesy breadsticks—the ultimate snack for movie night or a casual hangout.

Innovation from StradVision

Over at StradVision in Sterling Heights, there’s buzz about the upcoming release of its next-gen 3D Perception Network. They’re working towards bringing advanced driver assistance systems to life using their unique SVNet technology. Expect the first production uses to hit the market by the end of 2024—that’s some exciting stuff for tech enthusiasts!

Health Insurance Countdown!

Just a quick reminder for anyone who might be shopping for health insurance! The open enrollment deadline has been extended to January 16 due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Make sure to check out the 169 available plans before time runs out!

Romantic Dinner at the Ford House

If you’re thinking about Valentine’s Day, the Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores has a lovely dinner and concert planned for the evening of February 14. Enjoy a scrumptious four-course meal while being serenaded by a string quartet in a romantic setting! Tickets are selling fast, with tables for two priced at $250.
