Michigan city explores idea of passenger rail service to Detroit, beyond

A future passenger rail line connecting Sterling Heights , Warren and other communities in Macomb County to downtown Detroit , the airport and other rail lines, including one to Chicago, is being explored along a freight rail corridor that is currently, and primarily, tied to the auto industry. While some might think the idea is "really far-fetched," Sterling Heights City Manager Mark Vanderpool says it's not. And several Sterling Heights City Council members support taking a closer look at the idea. "Could that ever happen in Sterling Heights? And the answer is absolutely," Vanderpool told City Council during its Nov. 4 meeting, where it heard a presentation on the topic. "We have the backbone right here in our city." The backbone is the Conrail corridor that runs from Detroit through Warren and Sterling Heights. Sterling Heights says railroad tracks farther north, around 22 Mile Road, have been removed. City officials would like to find a way to preserve existing tracks, while they still are being used, for the future. A possible north-south passenger rail line with limited stops may be a way to do that. "Ultimately, the point is simple. If we preserve the corridor, we are protecting an opportunity

Great Lakes Memorial service held for those lost on Michigan waterways

Mariners’ Church of Detroit held its annual Great Lakes Memorial service at 11 a.m. Sunday. The service comes one year after Mariners’ Church hosted the 50th anniversary commemoration of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the worst, and certainly the best-known, maritime tragedies in Great Lakes history. On Nov. 10, 1975, the freighter, then the largest ship on the Great Lakes, sank during a powerful storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members. The disaster later became the subject of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” The service brought together an international audience of people wanting to pray for, and remember, the lives lost. “The Great Lakes are beautiful and a constant source of inspiration and joy for those of us fortunate enough to live by their shores,” said Rev. Todd Meyer, Mariners’ pastor. “But they can become dangerous and unpredictable in a flash. That’s why we take the time each year to reflect on those lives and to pray for safe passage and recreational enjoyment for all who spend time in and on the water.”

Detroit Institute of Arts to reopen two 'reimagined' galleries

As part of a transformation of the Detroit Institute of Arts' second-floor north wing, the reimagined Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries will debut on Sunday. The museum says it's the first comprehensive reinstallation of both collections in 20 years. The two permanent galleries showcase beloved classics, recently acquired objects and rarely displayed works. In all, the two spaces show more than 375 items. Detroit connections are highlighted in both galleries. “The opening of our new modern and contemporary art galleries marks the culmination of an inclusive and ambitious vision for how we present the art of our time,” said DIA leader Salvador Salort-Pons in a statement. He is the Mary Anne and Eugene A. Gargaro Jr. director, president, and CEO of the Detroit Institute of Arts. “Woven throughout these rooms are works by Detroit artists, placed alongside celebrated names from around the world, so that our audiences will see their own city, histories, and experiences reflected on our walls," he said. "These galleries affirm that Detroit is not only a place where great art is shown, but where it is made, and they will inspire generations to come to imagine their own place in that story.” The transformation of the
