Speaker 1: Good morning, Detroit. I'm Morgan Riley, and you're tuned to
Speaker 1: the Word on the Streets of Detroit, where we dig
Speaker 1: deeper into the stories shaping our city with a neighborly
Speaker 1: approach and a journalist's sigh. Today we're keeping a close
Speaker 1: watch on the Southeast Michigan weather. After a bout of
Speaker 1: severe thunderstorms swept through yesterday. Meteorologists are forecasting a much
Speaker 1: calmer start to the week, though it's always wise to
Speaker 1: stay alert as summer storms can pop up unexpectedly across
Speaker 1: Wayne County. Safety first as you head out for your
Speaker 1: weekend plans Detroit, and keep those umbrellas handy just in case,
Speaker 1: especially after yesterday's warnings, which stretched well into the evening.
Speaker 1: According to click on Detroit Turning the Top News, police
Speaker 1: are investigating after a tragic accident early Saturday morning at
Speaker 1: the long abandoned Southwest Detroit Hospital on Twentieth Street. A
Speaker 1: man lost his life after falling down an elevator shaft
Speaker 1: inside the building, which has been vacant since two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven and is soon to be demolished to make
Speaker 1: way for Detroit City Football Club's new stadium. The site
Speaker 1: once a symbol of neighborhood care is now a stark
Speaker 1: reminder of the challenges and changes Detroit faces as we
Speaker 1: build for the future. On the community front, Detroit is
Speaker 1: healing and reclaiming its spaces with resilience. Just yesterday, Skinner
Speaker 1: Playfield saw an outpouring of love during a repast for
Speaker 1: four year old Semeir Grubbs, whose life was cut short
Speaker 1: by senseless violence two weeks ago. His mother, Jasmine, chose
Speaker 1: to celebrate his life right there in the park he loved,
Speaker 1: inviting the community to remember that public spaces belong to
Speaker 1: us all. As Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison emphasized, the
Speaker 1: city is determined to support families and insure justice. Jasmine's
Speaker 1: message echoed a truth known in every Detroit neighborhood. Tragedy
Speaker 1: can't overshadow the light our children bring, and the community
Speaker 1: will not let fear keep them from joy and togetherness.
Speaker 1: On a lighter note, Detroit's event calendar is absolutely buzzing.
Speaker 1: Contic Concert of Colors Festival kicks off July sixteenth, bringing
Speaker 1: global music, art, and food to venues across the city.
Speaker 1: Whether you're swaying to Fenny Coody at the dia or
Speaker 1: perusing local vendors, you'll witness Detroit's unique blend of world
Speaker 1: culture and local pride. And book lovers, mark your calendars
Speaker 1: for July twentieth, when the Detroit Festival of Books returns
Speaker 1: to Eastern Market, a celebration of reading and conversation that
Speaker 1: draws thousands from across Michigan. This week, don't miss free
Speaker 1: yoga at Capitol Park, the Big Three Summer in the
Speaker 1: City Tournament on July twentieth, and the National Train Show
Speaker 1: in November. Whether you're into silent disco yoga or a
Speaker 1: classic wrestling showdown, Detroit's got you covered with events for
Speaker 1: every age and interest. As we wrap up, I'm reminded
Speaker 1: how Detroit's spirit, much like its skyline, music and people,
Speaker 1: remains unbreakable. From grief and remembrance to celebration and invention,
Speaker 1: detroitters continually show how to reacclaim hope and community one
Speaker 1: day at a time. Thank you for tuning in to
