In the tapestry of Metro Detroit's cultural celebrations, one day stands out with a sweet significance: Paczki Day (otherwise known as Fat Tuesday). This beloved tradition, deeply rooted in the area's rich Polish heritage, transforms the day before Ash Wednesday into a festival of indulgence, marking the onset of Lent with a flourish of flavor.

While Paczki Day is celebrated in various Polish-American communities across the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast, it holds a special place in the heart of Metro Detroit. The city's historical connection to Polish culture is evident in its demographics: at one point, Polish residents constituted about 75% of Hamtramck's population, a figure that has since evolved but…

Detroit Auto Show moved back to January from September

When I was a kid my dad, who worked for General Motors for 37 years, would bundle us kids up, just my sister and myself, my mother had no interest in going, and we'd take our annual January Pilgrimage to Cobo Hall.  We're the Motor City, and this show is the epitome of what it means to be a Detroiter, even if you're a Metro Detroiter.  It gave us, not my sister, she was dragged along, us being my dad and I, something to look forward to every year.  He'd grab his free tickets as an employee of General Motors, we'd hop in the Pontiac Transport, that I swear was modeled after a dustbuster, and fight the winds and snow, usually park on the outer parking deck and run into Cobo as fast as we could.
