Savor Food and Wine Festival coming to the Detroit Zoo and your Detroit news

On our show recorded on August 1, 2018:

- There's a Savor Food and Wine Festival coming to the Detroit Zoo you'll want to check out. HOUR Detroit's Lauren Mohan joins us to talk about the event with all you can eat samples and tastings of beer and whiskey.

- The Michigan Supreme Court has struck down a challenge to a voter referendum to create an independent redistricting commission. The 4-3 ruling means the Voters proposal - Not the Politicians' one - will appear on the statewide November ballot.

- In another high-profile case involving voting, a federal judge has ruled that the Republican-led Legislature intentionally discriminated against African Americans when it passed a law banning straight-ticket voting.

- On Tuesday, the Detroit City Council approved a Development Agreement with Dan Gilbert's Bedrock and Woodborn Partners for a planned mixed-income neighborhood. It'll be built on a former public housing site. We told you a bit about this on a previous episode, but more details have come into focus.

- Gordon Food Service is opening up their first location in the city proper. The wholesale and retail outlet is taking over the old Staples location at Jefferson and Jos Campau.

- The house music festival Charivari is making its return to the Detroit Riverfront, but a week later than usual.

- Turns out Detroit has one of the top five mural festival in the world.

That's it for our show. Thanks to Nuri Gocay for joining us today.
