Program Description

Event Details

Corktown is Detroit's oldest named neighborhood and its best resurrection story. With deep immigrant roots, fantastic tales of sports heroes and gangsters, and century old architectural gems, it is perhaps the most "Detroit" locale that we have. Join us as we discuss Irish immigrants, industrial expansion, the "Motor City Kitties," and Detroit's resurrected Michigan Central Station.
