  • Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society!
    1 WINTER 2018 Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society! At the Detroit Historical Society, 2017 has been a time of transformation. Three years of work on Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward came to fruition this year, and the efforts that went into it led us to adopt a new model for engaging the public in creating programming and exhibitions in our museums. Our work is stronger for it, as evidenced by positive reviews, awards and steady increases in visitor numbers driven by the Detroit 67: Perspectives exhibition. Most importantly, however, our organization changed from the inside out. Our model for engagement, Engage, Refect, Act (ERA), incorporates a three-step process for commencing work on new programs and exhibitions at our museums: engage the community, refect on what we learn and inspire visitors to action based on the relevance of history to today. We are committed to applying this model internally and externally as we work to tell Detroit’s stories and why they matter. That means that we are engaging the talents of our staff across departments to strengthen and streamline our work in the same way that we are engaging the public and other cultural institutions to inform upcoming programs and exhibits. In October, the Detroit Historical Society and our partners at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History were honored with the Michigan Museum Association’s 2017 Peninsulas Prize in recognition of our unique collaboration on the Detroit 67 project. This was wonderful evidence of the transformational power of the ERA model.

  • Cobo Authority Nets $2 Million Through 5 Months of Fiscal Year Beats Budget by 79 Percent
    News April 12, 2013 Contact: Phil Frame 313-964-4447 Cobo Authority nets $2 million through 5 months of fiscal year Beats budget by 79 percent DETROIT – A combination of higher operating and parking revenue and lower-than-expected expenses helped the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority exceed its net income projection by 79 percent through the first five months of its fiscal year. The DRCFA, which operates Cobo Center, had net income of more than $2 million from Oct. 1, 2012, through February 2013 – beating the forecast by $891,000. The Cobo Authority’s budget anticipated net income of $1.1 million for that period. “We won’t be able to keep the same pace in the next few months, but it’s great to have this cushion,” said Patrick Bero, CEO/CFO of the DRCFA. Most of the higher revenue came from Cobo Center operations, especially proceeds from the North American International Auto Show and additional bookings in the early part of the year. Operating revenue of nearly $4 million exceeded the forecast by almost $314,000. Parking revenue was $1.8 million through February, exceeding the budget by more than $226,000. After completing renovations of the Congress Street and Washington Boulevard garages in 2012 while rooftop parking remained open, Cobo Center has had all of its 2,000 parking spaces available. Parking revenue during the North American International Auto Show was higher than expected, while the return of National Hockey League action at Joe Louis Arena provided revenue that could not be anticipated because of the lockout.

    DETROIT'S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Milwaukee Junction HAER MI-416 Detroit Michigan WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA FIELD RECORDS HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD DETROIT’S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Location: Milwaukee Junction, Detroit, Michigan The survey boundaries are Woodward Avenue on the west and St. Aubin on the east. The southern boundary is marked by the Grand Trunk Western railroad line, which runs just south of East Baltimore from Woodward past St. Aubin. The northern boundary of the survey starts on the west end at East Grand Boulevard, runs east along the boulevard to Russell, moves north along Russell to Euclid, and extends east along Euclid to St. Aubin. Significance: The area known as Milwaukee Junction, located just north of Detroit’s city center, was a center of commercial and industrial activity for more than a century. Milwaukee Junction served, if not as the birthplace of American automobile manufacturing, then as its nursery. In addition to the Ford Motor Company and General Motors, many early auto manufacturers and their support services (especially body manufacturers like the Fisher Brothers, C.R. Wilson, and Trippensee Auto Body) were also located in the area, probably because of the proximity of the railroads. Historians: Kenneth Shepherd and Richard Sucré, 2003 Project Information: The Historic American Engineering Record conducted a survey of Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction, a center of auto and related industrial production, in summer 2003. The City of Detroit and the city’s Historic Designation Advisory Board sponsored the survey.

  • New Attitude
    New Attitude VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2 FEBRUARY 2018 Pure Detroit opens in Cobo Center for the auto show Pure Detroit has grown from the ground up, thanks to community support for 20 years. The first Pure Detroit store opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1998 in the David Whitney Building downtown. Since then, Pure Detroit has grown to five locations, each located in landmark Detroit buildings: the Fisher Building, the Guardian Building, the GM Renaissance Center, the Strathmore, and the Belle Isle Aquarium. “A Pure Detroit Shop on the Cobo Center concourse, open for all events, will connect visitors from all over the world to the culture and hospitality of Detroit,” said Claude Molinari, general manager of Cobo Center. “It is another big step in making our customers feel that Cobo is ‘Centered Around You,’ and immersing them in our mission to deliver outstanding event experiences.” Pure Detroit's mission is multi-faceted. As urbanists, they strive to help create vibrant ground-level retail activ- ity in downtown Detroit. As proprietors, they seek to provide a touching point for residents and visitors to the city for Detroit's rich history and contemporary culture. Cobo Center Bees Hunker Down for the Winter on the Green Roof Honey bees in the Cobo Center hives adjacent to the green roof prepare for winter by gathering a surplus of honey and pollen. They form a big group hug (or a winter cluster) to keep the queen warm once temps start to drop. The honey bees use this group hug to keep the center around 85 degrees! The heat is created by the bees vibrating their wing muscles.
