## Resource

Norris Howard and I tackle a packed Wednesday edition of Daily Detroit. We break down the mounting tensions in the U.S.-Canada trade dispute and respond to political rhetoric proposing to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Plus, we pay tribute to the late, great Dolly Parton. Then it's a recap of our weekend trip to see Detroit City FC win over Tampa Bay with one of the best keeper saves we've seen in a long time. In local development news, a vacant historic YMCA building in Mexicantown across from Clark Park gets a $10 million redevelopment lifeline, Midtown sees progress on West Willis, and local favorite Bev's Bagels sets its sights on Birmingham.
