Senator retires; Avalon changes; Detroit Policy Conference preview

Things have been super busy with a bunch of projects, so I caught up with Devon O'Reilly in his office high atop downtown Detroit.

Longtime U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow is retiring. Who's next? What's next? It's a question to explore form multiple angles. Devon adds his two cents.

Programming note - yes, we plan on having Steve Friess on the show as well. I got the assignment.

Avalon International Bakery is closing their flagship store and moving into Jolly Pumpkin around the corner. Though it's not bad for the business, it does bring up memories.

And, the reason I had to catch Devon at his office for a few minutes is he's planning the Detroit Policy Conference on Tuesday. He gives a preview of what's happening - and of course, Daily Detroit will have a mobile podcast setup there.
