When Michigan Locals Talk Ribs And Rib Tips, They Send You To This Family-Run Detroit Joint From 1984

Some Detroit barbecue spots open with a big splash and vanish within a few years. This one opened in 1984 and is still taking orders on the city’s east side. Ask around Michigan about ribs and rib tips, and one family name keeps coming up in the conversation. People drive across town for it, and at least one fan drove about 500 miles from Wisconsin just to try it.

'Victims' in Kingdom of God case defect as David Taylor trial looms

Two women whose sexually explicit messages with Kingdom of God Global Church “apostle” David Taylor dominate the forced labor indictment against the religious figure insist they were not victimized or forced to perform sex acts and provide custom-ordered nudes , raising questions about their value to the government as witnesses at trial. The women, who prosecutors said were 18 and 19 during the alleged labor conspiracy, describe their relationships with Taylor as consensual, a point defense lawyers seized upon in trying unsuccessfully to remove allegations involving the women from the indictment. Details involving the women, who are identified by the code names"F-1" and "F-2," and allegations Taylor directed female church workers to perform sex acts and share nudes, were unfairly prejudicial, defense lawyers argued. Court filings reveal a rift between prosecutors and women who might have been expected to testify as the government's star witnesses at trial in April as two of the dozens of women prosecutors said were forced to perform sex acts for Taylor and provide explicit pictures and videos. Instead, the women could end up testifying for the defense after what they categorized as a betrayal by prosecutors effectively outing them and disclosing the sexual messages. “Must

Allen Park extends its data center moratorium

Allen Park is extending its moratorium on data center development, citing the need for more time to develop local legislation to regulate the controversial centers. The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to extend its moratorium by six months. This move effectively doubles the city's current six-month data center moratorium, which was passed on June 9. Before the vote, Councilman Dan Loyd said the city's planning commission is currently considering how strict to make the local legislation that would regulate data centers. Communities can regulate data centers through their zoning ordinances. “One of the things that is going to go into this conversation is, as in any time you do legislation, is where do you draw the line? Where do you say, ‘This is not good for our community,’ and ‘This is good for our community?’ These are not easy conversations, and this is where we’re at," said Loyd. Communities across Metro Detroit have scrambled to put data center moratoriums in place to give them time to adjust their zoning ordinances to regulate where these facilities can and can't go . With some of those moratoriums set to expire, several communities are now extending their moratoriums. Rochester Hills

LANSING — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is traveling to Germany as part of a trade mission, her office said on Thursday, Nov. 12. The trip comes as the Detroit Lions have a game scheduled in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 15.

SEMICON Europa takes place in Munich this week, according to its website. “Germany has been a critical partner in Michigan's economic success, with companies investing billions in our state, creating jobs and helping us lead the future of manufacturing and innovation," Whitmer said in a press release.

The walls are made of rose-colored jasper from South Dakota. Stained glass from Tiffany’s of New York still catches the light. I can’t imagine a grander place to cut into a steak.
