Today's riddle: What do you call advice from a cow ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Woman stabbed to death in downtown Detroit alley while on a break from work, police say (cbsnews.com) — A woman in her 30s was fatally stabbed Sunday afternoon in an alley near the Chipotle on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit while on a break from work, according to police. Officers used downtown camera technology to locate and arrest a suspect about 20 minutes later and are processing a recovered knife believed to be the weapon. Investigators are still determining any relationship between the two.
2. Shopping around: How Detroit is trying to attract more retail (detroitnews.com) — Detroit is ramping up efforts to bring more affordable, convenient retail — especially grocery stores — into city neighborhoods so residents don't have to drive to suburbs like Livonia or Redford to shop. A new director of retail attraction is mapping corridors, courting national chains, and supporting local businesses, while experts say taxes, income levels, and incentives will shape which stores ultimately open near you.
3. Drivers are crossing city lines to reach Metro Detroit's cheapest gas as prices surge toward record highs (cbsnews.com) — Drivers on Detroit's east side are hunting for the cheapest gas, with a new Freedom Fuel station on Harper and Cadieux drawing crowds by undercutting nearby competitors and the state average. Residents from Detroit and nearby suburbs describe how rising prices are squeezing budgets, even as global conflicts and refinery issues push Michigan's average close to record highs.
4. IOG Colloquium: Hippocampal Subfield Volumes Across the Human Lifespan (wayne.edu) — Wayne State University's Institute of Gerontology is hosting a research colloquium at the Freer House, just north of the Detroit Institute of Arts, with an option to join via Zoom. Postdoctoral fellow Roya Homayouni will explain how hippocampal subfields and cardiometabolic health across life relate to memory decline in older age. It's a chance for Detroit-area residents to hear cutting-edge brain aging research close to home.
5. Biological Sciences Seminar Series: Dr. Brendan F. O'Leary (wayne.edu) — A Wayne State University researcher is giving a seminar on how Detroit's industrial past still affects neighborhood health through contaminated land, groundwater, and aging infrastructure. The talk will show how mapping, monitoring, and data science can pinpoint exposure hotspots and guide smarter cleanup and health protections for communities across the city.
