Atwater Beach Breaks Ground, Norma G's To Open & Your News

Your show for August 27, 2018:

- Ground broke today near Chene Park on what promises to be - when it's complete - one of Detroit's hottest new public attractions. Sven Gustafson caught up with Mark Wallace of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy to get the details.

- A 275 year old tree was cut down in Ferndale, says the Oakland County Times. More (including awesome pictures you gotta see) here.

- A 28 year old bicyclist has died after being hit by a car on the bridge to Belle Isle State Park.

- To many Metro Detroiters, a sushi event at Eastern Market has left a raw feeling. The Detroit Sushi Fest was on Friday evening and it is the current object of the Detroiternet's ire, with many bad reviews.

- Norma G's Cuisine is opening its first brick and mortar location in the Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood of Detroit on Tuesday.

- Beginners luck seems to be a real thing for a 19 year old Macomb County man. That's because he won half a million dollars with the Platinum 7's instant game on his fourth ticket. 

- The King of pop - Michael Jackson - would be 60 years old on Wednesday, the 29th. For those of you who might need a little push to get over the hump day of Wednesday… to celebrate, the Joebar in Hazel Park is doing a party.

That's it for the show today. Sven rejoins us tomorrow, where we dig into some buildings demolitions around town that have people talking because of the street art that went with it, as well as a large historic structure near Palmer Park.
