New rules requiring passports or some other secure means of identification at land-crossings along the Canada-U.S. border come into effect Monday. Implemented by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and known as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, Canadian and American travelers alike will require a passport or enhanced driver’s license in order to enter.

When Lord Stanley’s Cup arrives along the Detroit Riverfront it is always treated with a red carpet ovation.

Here’s our countdown to the greatest playoff moments in modern Red Wings history.

Darren Helm answered the call tonight as he he shot the winning goal at 3:58 of the first overtime. The first two periods were filled with plenty of excitement but nonetheless scoreless. Finally at 6:08 of the third period Dan Cleary scored a goal past Chicago goaltender Cristobal Huet.

The present design of the Detroit seal located at the flag’s center was approved and adopted as the official seal in 1827. It commemorates the great fire of 1805 that burned Detroit to the ground.

Once again we shattered the old myth, you can teach an old building new tricks. Seven Detroit facilities received such certification this week. The Coleman A. Young Municipal Center highlights the fact almost perfectly. Inefficiencies were everywhere: single-pane windows, a poorly insulated building and a less than efficient hot deck/cold deck HVAC system. To make the building more environmentally friendly property managers replaced failing steam coil on air handling units and retrofitted a 135-ton chiller to run on river water rather than city condenser water.
