Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Detroit Lions traveling to Germany

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. The governor's announcement didn't say whether Whitmer would attend the NFL game. While in Germany, Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., will participate in SEMICON Europa, Europe's largest combined electronics design and manufacturing event, according to the governor's office. 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. "We've built strong relationships with German businesses over the years, and we're going to keep showing up and making the case for why Michigan is the best place to invest and grow." The new Germany venture is Whitmer's fifth overseas trade mission of 2026. She traveled to South Korea in September, to France, Luxembourg and Belgium in June, to Italy and Germany

Deep dive: What it's like to photograph a shipwreck

Detroit News photographer Andy Morrison was certified in SCUBA in 2001 and has been diving shipwrecks ever since. Among the wrecks he's photographed: Bell P-39 Air Cobra, Eber Ward, Dunderberg, City of Detroit. Here, he shares what makes these assignments both challenging and exhilarating. Q. What drew you to this kind of specialized photography ? How long did it take to become SCUBA certified? A: I initially got certified as something to do away from my day job as a photojournalist. Basic scuba took a few months to months. There's classroom work, then pool sessions and finally you're in open water certification dives. I grew up a huge Jacques Cousteau fan, watching his documentaries as a kid in Iowa, and always wanted to scuba dive. I just wanted to enjoy being underwater, but after seeing my first shipwreck, I knew I wanted to take a camera with me. More: It's not finders keepers for most Great Lakes shipwrecks. Here's why Q: What kind of specialized equipment do you need for these assignments? A: Advanced training is the most important thing you need to photograph shipwrecks. You always have to remember you're a diver first, photographer second. It's a lot to

Order Thanksgiving pies now before metro Detroit favorites sell out

The centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table is the turkey, but for dessert – it’s all about the pie. Pies have earned permanent placement on the Thanksgiving menu. Be it sweet potato, pumpkin, pecan or apple, the confection offers an ideal canvas for Michigan’s fall produce. When they’re presented on buttery crusts, served warm and topped with fluffy dollops of whipped cream, there’s always room after the big dinner for pie. Leftovers also make great companions to morning coffee while scouring Black Friday deals the next day. And if you’re a Thanksgiving dinner guest looking for a gift for the host, a great pie is even more thoughtful than a last-minute bottle of grocery store wine. Just as whole turkeys are in high demand this month, you’ll want to make plans to purchase your pies in advance of the holiday, as local pastry chefs are already beginning to sell out of their Thanksgiving selections. To help as you finalize your dessert plans, here’s a roundup of some of the most popular and beloved pies metro Detroit has to offer. Achatz Handmade Pie Co.

When it closed, it was Michigan's second-largest hotel, behind the Marriott in Detroit's Renaissance Center. More: Dearborn mayor warned about families living illegally in hotel, official says "We issued a stop-work order after discovering that work was being performed beyond the scope of approved plans, while additional plans had been submitted but not yet reviewed or approved," the city said in a statement.
