We share stories about the wave of enthusiasm in Detroit for recreation, farmers markets, community gardens, urban life style and commuting by bikes and on foot. And we look back at the support for the "Say nice things about Detroit" attitude created from Emily's in the 70's.On a personal note, I love that Whole Foods Detroit has our "say nice things about Detroit " attitude starting with the "say nice things about Detroit" mural on their wall when you enter the store. I'm grateful that the #saynicethings ohana which continues to grow gets good caretaking from Whole Foods, Shinola, City Bird, Detroit GT and so many individuals ...Also in this show Jack Berry, long time friend who has been a sports writer for five decades, many with the Detroit News, talks about his fellow Michigan Golf Hall of Fame member Glenn Johnson who passed away recently. Glenn was a friend of Jack's and was an important mentor and friend of mine. Glenn Johnson's contributions to the sport of golf, as player and mentor to many is just one of the ways he gave back.
