Opening Day is, in fact, a holiday — or at least that’s the case for Detroit, and baseball was on a lot of people's minds. This week, our readers were most interested in a story about the struggles of an ex-Detroit Tiger who has faced hardship since leaving the team.
Two Michigan cannabis companies have teamed together to give away $70,000 in free gas cards to their customers, and our readers were interested in knowing how to get one. We also found a real estate listing for the historic Grande Ballroom, and shared the news that a new Twin Peaks restaurant is coming to Auburn Hills.
And this week's cover story about what happens next with Proposal R, which establishes a committee to pursue reparations for Black Detroiters, was also widely read.
All of that and a little bit more. Here are the top stories of the week:
