Welcome to the Detroit News Update. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from the Motor City.
Word on the streets of Detroit is that recovery efforts are on target for the neighborhood flooded by a main break last month. Mayor Mike Duggan announced yesterday that the city is making good progress on its 6-week goal to restore the affected area. Crews have been working around the clock to repair infrastructure and assist residents in getting back on their feet.
In a shocking development, two bodies were discovered in the basement of a home on Detroit's west side Tuesday evening. Police are actively investigating after a woman returned to her house in the 8700 block of DeSoto Street to find her door locked and made the grim discovery. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they search for leads in this case.
Turning to brighter news, Detroit's own Mary J. Blige is set to rock Little Caesars Arena next Tuesday as part of her "For My Fans" tour. The Grammy and Emmy Award-winning artist will be promoting her new album, Gratitude, with support from Ne-Yo and Mario. It's sure to be an unforgettable night celebrating the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
Looking ahead to the weekend, don't miss the Detroit Shamrock Festival on Saturday at the Detroit Festival Grounds. This annual St. Patrick's Day celebration features live music, Irish dancing, and plenty of green beer. It's a great way to embrace Detroit's rich Irish heritage and kick off the spring season.
As for the weather, we're looking at a chilly week ahead with highs in the low 40s. Bundle up if you're heading out to any of the festivities, but take heart – warmer days are just around the corner.
In closing, as we reflect on the challenges and triumphs facing our city, let's remember the resilience that has always defined Detroit. From industrial powerhouse to cultural hub, our story is one of constant reinvention and unwavering spirit.
