Our press conference work with Belle Isle Conservancy and Lafayette American landed the key messages that Belle Isle is "more than a park," "Detroit's backyard" and "Detroit's cultural and recreational landmark" on all the major TV stations, Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, Planet Detroit, WWJ Newsradio 950, and WDET 101.9FM.

The Belle Isle Conservancy unveiled a new brand identity on Tuesday and is now calling the island "Detroit's backyard."

Tomorrow is proof that dreams do come true. Seven years ago for Detroit Homecoming, Mary Kramer said "Colleen, let's do the light show" and we caused a ruckus because suddenly there was life at Michigan Central again. We hosted a dinner in a building with no plumbing and no electricity with Lily Tomlin, Allee Willis, Al Kaline, Thomas Hearns, and 300 other Detroiters. I still remember Vittoria Katanski calling me to turn off the train station lights because all the cars stopping to take photos were making it hard to set up Tour de Troit!

Lisa Spindler’s impactful Detroit Lions portraits set the tone for the whole downtown area during the 2024 NFL Draft. Fab interview with WDET 101.9FM’s Nick Austin!

While the event showcases the best up-and-coming football talent, it's also providing an opportunity for Detroit to showcase the work of local artists.

No noodles? Johnny Noodle King needs power to make the magic happen. The weather was perfect so you can't blame that. JNK's electricity has gone out on Fort St. three times in the last six weeks. It was so severe on Wednesday that there were flames and their equipment fried. Their generators can't help when the machinery is ruined. Jacques and Christine Driscoll were looking forward to a great pre-NFL Draft week. Cross your fingers that all the parts and equipment arrive and can be installed early next week....and that DTE can keep the power on! Thanks Susan Selasky for your Detroit Free Press story.

The latest power surge at Johnny Noodle King in Detroit was the third unrelated to weather, a post read, since the beginning of March.
