Owner of Kuzzo's in Detroit accused of sales tax fraud

The owner of a once-popular Detroit restaurant is accused of violating the state's tax laws, officials said Thursday, Nov. 5. Ronald Bartell was arraigned Tuesday, Nov. 3, in 54A District Court in Lansing, according to court records, about nine months after he suddenly closed Kuzzo's Chicken & Waffles, his Detroit restaurant, in February. The 44-year-old Detroit resident is charged with five counts of failing to file a tax return or filing a false return, the Michigan Attorney General's Office said. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison for each felony count. A judge set his bond at $20,000 and scheduled a probable cause conference for Nov. 12. A preliminary exam is set for Nov. 19, court records said. Bartell's attorney, Harrell Milhouse, said Thursday he and his client had no comment on the case. Prosecutors allege the defendant, who established Kuzzo’s LLC and operated Kuzzo’s Chicken and Waffles in Detroit from 2015 until 2026, violated the state sales tax law. "Michigan businesses are expected to properly collect, report, and remit the sales tax they collect to the state Department of Treasury," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement. "Sales tax revenue provides essential funding to

From Street Vision to Street Pass Andre Terrell on Black Business and the Digital Revolution

“That work ethic that you get from those Southern people, that’s in our blood as Detroiters.” Andre Terrell carries that legacy from his grandfather, who migrated from Macon, Georgia, and built Simmons Brothers from a wheelbarrow and shovel into a successful construction business. Growing up in Detroit, Andre discovered photography while attending Mumford and Crockett Vocational High School, eventually photographing generations of Detroit students at A&M Photography Studio. His entrepreneurial vision expanded into technology when he launched Street Vision around 2000, securing streetvision.com at a Woodward Avenue cybercafe before most Detroiters had internet access. “People didn’t even have internet at the time,” he recalls. From uploading videos overnight through dial-up connections to navigating the digital divide, Andre stayed committed to technology as it evolved. Today, his Street Pass mobile app connects consumers, Black-owned businesses, and cultural experiences. His story explores the intersection of Black Detroit entrepreneurship, technology, and ownership, showing why recognizing opportunity early means little without the determination to keep evolving.

Kevin Adell's Hollywood cars imperiled by $62.2M debt and bankruptcy

The bankruptcy of broadcaster Kevin Adell and a $62.2 million verdict in a racial discrimination case have thrown into doubt the fate of his portfolio of trophy properties and personal car collection, a cache of some of Hollywood's most recognizable vehicles that has included a 1949 Buick Roadmaster from the film "Rain Man" and the fake Ferrari 250 GT California Spider from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off." Federal court records offer a rare peek at the private assets of an embattled broadcasting figure whose empire once included WADL TV-38, the 910-AM Superstation on radio and The Word Network, the world's largest African American religious television network that reached more than 200 countries. The records reveal little-known assets belonging to the Bloomfield Hills resident and luxury properties in at least three states, including a chalet in Utah, a $10 million home in Florida and a 310-acre estate north of Oxford. It is likely Adell emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a smaller car collection as the broadcaster plans, according to a Nov. 3 filing , to cut expenses by unloading several vehicles. That includes selling what bankruptcy records describe as "the 1949 Buick from his personal collection." The asset reorganization was prompted
