Debating Demolition & Downsizing in Detroit
The NY Times took a look at new efforts to save Michigan Central Station and NPR reports that with a quarter of Detroit's 350,000 buildings vacant or in shambles, Mayor Dave Bing wants to reshape the city by getting rid of them and relocating residents who live in desolate neighborhoods, saying it's too expensive to provide city services in areas that are like urban deserts.

Women's History Month: Sarah Emma Edmonds Seelye
Sarah Emma Edmonds Seelye, born in 1841, ran away from home at age 15 to escape her tyrannical father and an arranged marriage. She was living in Flint at the start of the Civil War in 1861. After the fall of Fort Sumter, she volunteered for the Union army as Franklin (Frank) Thompson and was assigned to Flint's Union Greys, a militia unit.

March Michigan Event Calendar
Our Michigan event calendar for the month of March features all kinds of signs that spring is just around the corner with some cautious reminders that objects around the corner may be further off than they appear.
