Model D is hosting a monthly morning speaker series at the
Detroit Yacht Club
that will let you hear from the people who are leading the city's
transformation, and driving investment in up-and-coming areas. The DYC,
Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and
LaSalle Bank are co-sponsoring the series.
The first installment — "Creating Neighborhood Tipping Points" — will be Oct. 6 at the Detroit Yacht Club on Belle Isle (

The
event will feature two neighborhoods on the comeback — Woodbridge and
Corktown — and two developers whose investments and vision have made
these areas into destinations. The speakers are Phillip Cooley of
Slow's Bar BQ and Ric Geyer of 4731 Gallery.
The event is
free. Registration starts at 8 a.m., the speakers start at 8:30 a.m.,
and the program will last about an hour. Seating is limited, and an
RSVP is required.
