The Life and Times of Grace Lee Boggs

How We Once Feared Being ‘Detroited’ by a Communist Takeover
This whole idea of a place being “Detroited” — of Detroit being synonymous with a place trashed by liberals and Democratic party members — is sort of silly. It’s a uniquely American kind of verbal scaremongering — that if those guys get control of government, factories will go idle, taxes will skyrocket, and the government…

Here’s why we think the Lions are Champions
We grew up with Lions, and that means we’ve never seen them win a Championship. This year, though, we’re changing our tune. Kip Watson, a psychologist who works with NFL players, says that the stigma of losing comes from the media, the athletes, the city, the fans themselves… everyone. “It’s so prevalent it creates a…
The Detroit City Football Club isn’t done yet
Soccer was a pretty big deal in Detroit this summer. People filled Cadillac Square for World Cup Viewing Parties and everyone and their brother went to a Detroit City Football Club game.

Detroit as a verb, courtesy the Conservative War Chest Super PAC
A new ad running in Arkansas, funded by the Conservative War Chest Super PAC, uses Detroit as a verb to express the idea of killing a place through taxes and debt and lack of jobs. It’s actually a very brief cameo by our fair city, visible at 1:42 for those who want to skip the…
Kate Moss really likes Niagara
Back in March, supermodel Kate Moss got a gig as an editor for British Vogue, and for her first assignment she styled a model after Detroit punk rocker-turned-fine artist Niagara. Moss even faithfully recreated photos of Niagara from Detroit’s early punk scene for the spread. But the Niagara-love didn’t end there. Just last week, UK’s…
Robert Reich on how Oakland County took the money and ran
You might have missed it, but Robert Reich, the lefty economist who was part of the Clinton cabinet, blogged last week about the predicament of Detroit.

MAP: Michiganders really like the Detroit Lions
The 2014 NFL season kicked off this week and Facebook released a timely map depicting football fandom across each state.

Jury duty has been delayed in Detroit because parking in downtown Detroit sucks during gamedays
Metro Detroit has developed a reputation as a region beholden to the automobile, a description held up by its astounding lack of reliable public transit. In Detroit, getting from Point A to B can be such a chore, it can take hours to travel a distance a motorist can reach in minutes. There’s no easy…

Detroit’s divey Two-Way Inn bar name-checked in Newsweek
In an article about how yuppies are killing America’s dive bars, writer Alexander Nazaryan name-checked one of Detroit’s best and oldest dives, the Two-Way Inn. It’s a good piece, with a not-too-subtle subtext about how the same class divisions ripping America apart are spelling doom for the quirky little dive bar.
News Hits: UN report forecasts bad news about climate change
Our tendency here at the Hits is to avoid road rage at all costs, but our head started to spin and we almost veered off the road while tuned in to WDET-FM 101.9 for a replay of MiWeek on a recent Friday. For the uninitiated, the local PBS news-analysis show features Christy McDonald, Detroit Free…
Horoscopes (September 3 – 9)
ARIES (March 21-April 20): If you can just keep up with the way things are changing you will be totally fine. The point at the moment is to be able to hold steady inside a cloud of uncertainty that will eventually give way to whatever is being obscured by it. I have a feeling all…
A look back at the discography of the Afghan Whigs
Big Top Halloween (1988) The Whigs’ first record, Big Top Halloween predates that band’s relationship with Sub Pop. They produced the record themselves and only 2,000 copies were pressed, making it a rare find. A little messy and a touch cluttered, there are glimmers of the greatness that was to come from the band, but…
A tasty beverage: Icy Bay IPA
Alaskan Brewing Company has begun exporting its brews to Michigan, making the Wolverine State the first place the company distributes to in the Eastern time zone. (They say it’s kind of a milestone for them.) While we usually prefer Michigan-made products, the hoppy flavors and fun-loving names inspired by the frozen northland have a certain…
DJ Mike Clark puts a new spin on the birth of Detroit Techno
DJ Mike “Agent X” Clark has observed the Detroit house and techno scene from numerous angles over his 35-year career.

Metro Times: When…
Film Review: Life of Crime
Life of Crime / B- If there’s a trick to successfully translating Elmore Leonard to the screen, only a handful of directors have figured it out. The ’90s ended a long run of failed cinematic adaptations with a trio of big personality directors (Barry Sonnenfeld, Quentin Tarantino, and Steven Soderbergh) finding just the right mix…
LeFavour stresses seasonal recipes
Yes, summer is fading fast, but that doesn’t mean you have to get the blues. We find that one of the best morale-raisers you can produce in the kitchen is to roast a chicken. When a cold snap makes you seal up your windows, roasting a chicken can fill a house with that homey, comforting…
The Afghan Whigs are back, and they’re not just rehashing the 1990s
Greg Dulli wasn’t content with a regular old record deal. Signing a lucrative contract, being on a major label, bringing his uniquely soul-infused alt-rock to the masses — all of it was enticing, but it wasn’t enough. Dulli’s ambitions weren’t merely more visionary — they were also more visual. So when Dulli — along with…
DDays does PJs Lager House, American Coney Island, and more
I like the way you hang out in front of PJ’s Lager House Usually when we hit PJ’s on a Tuesday night, it’s just to spin records with PBMJ, but last Tuesday we ran into someone other than the usual suspects. We passed right by him, but Andre 3000 was hanging out in front of…
Higher Ground
Last week, The Washington Post asked, Is medical marijuana the answer to America’s prescription painkiller epidemic? The article looked at a recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, titled “Medical Cannabis Laws and Opioid Analgesic Overdose Mortality in the United States, 1999-2010.” The study began with the reasoning that because painkiller overdose deaths continue to skyrocket…
Politics and Prejudices
Two weekends ago, the two major political parties held their state conventions and decided which candidates they would allow us to vote for in November.

MT readers sound off on bridge rifts, Palmer Park, Detroit jazz, and more
Bridge rifts We received a number of strident responses to Jack Lessenberry’s Aug. 27 column on the proposed bridge to Canada.

Burger Quest: Grandy’s Coney Island serves belly bombs 24 hours a day
The atmosphere of a burger joint usually provides about half the appeal of dining on a humble hamburger. From historic enamel-steel diners (such as last week’s Greene’s) to sleek, hip eateries that dabble in the beef patty, surroundings are nothing to sniff at. But what about drive-through burger joints? Shouldn’t they get a closer look?…
Public Pool gallery turns into ’The Last Record Shop’
For an entire generation, LP record sleeves weren’t just packaging — they were windows into another world. Before today’s try-it-before-you-illegally-download-it-anyway album promotional model of embeddable streaming widgets and YouTube videos, the only glimpse as to what sort of music a record actually contained was its album artwork. You might not be able to judge a…
Enjoy St. Cece’s Pub — it’s far, far away from Ford Field
Off the beaten path, away from the sports bars of Foxtown and the expensive drafts inside Ford Field, way away in Corktown on Bagley Avenue, you’ll find St. Cece’s Pub.

Detroit’s Wright & Co. is a dazzling combination of classic architecture and new cuisine.
Restaurant-watchers and city boosters are excited just by the fact that this dignified 1891 brownstone-trim building is back in service, but there’s much more to be elated about than that. The quality of Wright & Co’s food is probably unmatched downtown. A few readers may remember the old building fondly as the place they bought…
The Detroit Bus Company integrates with Detroit Public Schools to help bus kids to after-school programs
A few years ago, Andy Didorosi was running a liquidation company that helped clients sell assets online. When he found some buses for sale from Ferndale Public Schools, he got the idea to put them to use transporting the bar-going crowd from the suburbs to downtown Detroit. A tinkerer since he was an adolescent, Didorosi…

Janet’s Closet has all your cross-dressing needs
Janet’s Closet often gets mistaken for a consignment shop, or sometimes a sex shop, or sometimes people stumble in not knowing what it is.

Dan Savage talks about getting the hell out and bondage ropes
Q:My wife and I went through a long-distance period when we were still dating and she went away to school. I used porn as a masturbatory aid during that time. I did not tell her this, as she believes that porn use is equivalent to cheating. Well, fast-forward a couple years (and a marriage), and…

The…
Le Dame offers up stylish footwear for drag performers and cross-dressers
Because men walk differently than women (it has to do with that whole center-of-gravity thing), often it isn’t enough for drag performers and cross-dressers to simply wear women’s shoes in a bigger size. Instead, they need a shoe that’s specially made for them. That’s where Le Dame comes in. The shoemaker makes stylish heels, boots,…
Nine superstitious ways to get the Lions to the Super Bowl
The Lions are cursed. It’s the only way to explain their miserable record these last 57 years. It’s the only explanation that helps fans cope with their team’s inability to bring home a Super Bowl trophy and a set of big, clunky rings. It’s not bad coaching, it’s not bad players, it isn’t even bad…
Five football movies worth a closer look
The Longest Yard (1974) If you’ve only ever seen the horrible 2005 remake of this film, see this 40-year-old classic. One of a string of anti-authoritarian films from a 1970s Hollywood willing to re-examine America, it’s smart, funny, and gripping, with fantastic performances from Burt Reynolds, Michael Conrad, and even native Detroiter Richard Kiel. Watch…
Film Review: The Trip to Italy
Ah, rich, white, middle-aged men and their problems. Is there less fertile ground for empathy and entertainment? Apparently not. Comedic actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, along with director Michael Winterbottom, found surprising indie success when their 2011 British miniseries was pruned into the 100-minute feature The Trip. Featuring upscale U.K. dining and its requisite…
We quizzed Lions fans on why they watch, their fondest memories, and why the Lions are different
Steven David Tuthill, 37, frontman of the Beggars On being a Lions fan | Being a Lions fan is about unconditional love, loyalty, and hope. To dream of one day winning the division (NFC North), a playoff game, and one day a Super Bowl is worth it alone. The heartbreaking seasons and games only pave…
Low-hanging fruit
I was headed over to the city office to pay a parking ticket I had unjustly received (Hey, I put five quarters in the machine, but it was broken) when I heard a loud “Pssst.” I looked around but didn’t see anybody. Then I heard another that seemed to be coming from the air above…
The Offspring look back at the smashing success of ‘Smash’ 20 years later
In between shifts working as a janitor at a high school in Garden Grove, California, the Offspring lead guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman logged recording sessions on what would become Smash, his band’s third album.

A completely ridiculous guide to bluffing your way through the big game

Jennie Knaggs is in three bands
People might remember Jennie Knaggs from her stint as guitarist and vocalist in local rock outfit I, Crime, but these days, Knaggs is in a new bunch of bands about as eclectic as you can imagine. I’m in Lac La Belle, and we’re about to release a new record called A Friend Too Long on…
The Psychology of the Detroit Lions
Here at Metro Times, we wanted to know what kind of impact 57 years without a championship can have on the psyche of Lions team members and their fans.

Buy a brand-new antique from Materials Unlimited
Reynold Lowe wears a lanyard around his neck; strapped to it is his name tag. It reads “Reynold, Big Cheese.” He’s the guy behind Materials Unlimited.

Detroit Lions Spotlight: Dominic Raiola, #51, Center
For Dominic Raiola, representing Detroit for the last 14 years is easy. “Since I came here, I embrace the city, the blue-collar mentality,” he tells Metro Times by phone. “Being a little rough around the edges is good for a person.

The Detroit Pride are the Lions’ unofficial cheerleaders
When they got their start five years ago, the Detroit Pride Cheerleaders were kind of a joke. Actually, that’s literally how they started.

Motor City Drone Company thinks there’s no use stopping the rise of multi-rotor copters
Drones — the remote-controlled multi-rotor copters that can increasingly be seen piloted by hobbyists — are a buzzword these days. But Mike Wright, a co-founder of the Motor City Drone Company, says there's a big semantic debate going on right now as to whether what the public has come to call “drones” are really even…
Ask a Juggalo: Are Newports the preferred smokes of Juggalos?
Q: Are Newports the preferred smokes of Juggalos? A:Yes, though they are pricey. I believe that started because the Monoxide Child of Twiztid smokes only Newports. But even scrubs can come up with the dough for them. Why? Well, even though everyone I’ve met can back it up, most Juggalos talk a lot of shit.…
A Lion to Remember: Alex Karras
Perhaps no Lion had a career as successful and varied as Alex Karras, especially off the gridiron. Nicknamed “The Mad Duck,” Karras was more than a football star, he was a track-and-field athlete, a wrestler, a businessman, a broadcaster, and an actor in such an unusual variety of roles as to strain belief. Born in…

Drink Up: Goose Island’s 312
Goose Island’s 312 is billed as an “urban wheat beer.” What does that mean exactly? Well, naming it after the brewery’s area code is a big hint.
