Lost Landscapes of Detroit This film is a disjointedly delightful ramble through historical footage of Detroit: commercials, file footage, ads and video. From a filmmaking trick involving downtown Detroit and a Daguerre camera to the Detroit Police Department's film introducing itself through the career of Officer Joe, this is an hour of video that anyone who loves the Motor City should spend some time with.
Great Lakes Restoration Plan announced The AP's John Flesher takes a look at a five-year blueprint for rescuing the Great Lakes announced by the Obama Administration on Sunday.

Weird Wednesday: Trombones and Funnybones January in Michigan is a good time to think ahead to the pleasures of spring and summer that await us, such as outdoor concerts or camping out in lawn chairs to catch a parade.

Michigan Says YES to Sulfide Mining Michigan regulators gave final approval Thursday to a nickel and copper mine for the Upper Peninsula, despite opponents' fears it would pollute streams that feed Lake Superior and provide habitat for a rare type of trout. The mine is a sulfide mine or acid mine and this will likely be the first of many in the Upper Peninsula.
