Denise Kemp+FollowCorktown’s oldest home hits the marketOne of Detroit’s oldest homes is up for grabs in Corktown, and it’s turning heads. This two-story gem at 1200 Porter Street, believed to date back to the 1840s, is listed for $599,000. It’s not just a piece of history—there are two separate units, so you could live in one and rent the other (one’s already an Airbnb). For anyone who loves the idea of living in a home that’s seen Detroit grow and change, this is a rare chance. Would you want to own a slice of local history? #RealEstate #Corktown #DetroitHistory00Share
david52+FollowRemembering Detroit’s Olympia StadiumOlympia Stadium wasn’t just a building—it was the beating heart of Detroit sports and music for six decades. Before Little Caesars Arena or even Joe Louis, fans packed the Old Red Barn to watch the Red Wings win their first seven Stanley Cups, see the Pistons’ early Michigan games (hockey boards and all!), and even catch The Beatles’ last Detroit show. Even though the stadium was demolished in 1986, its legacy lives on—those iconic O-L-Y-M-P-I-A letters now hang in Little Caesars Arena. What memories or stories do you have about Olympia? Do you think Detroit’s new arenas capture the same magic? #Sports #IceHockey #DetroitHistory40Share
Kaitlyn Hammond+FollowDetroit’s beloved puppet Creamy returnsCreamy, the silent rabbit puppet from Detroit’s classic “Milky’s Party Time,” is finally stepping out of storage and into the spotlight at the Detroit Historical Museum. For decades, Creamy sat quietly on a shelf, treasured by the Janssen family, whose roots run deep with Twin Pines Dairy—the company the show helped make famous. Now, Detroiters can see Creamy up close, reliving memories of home milk deliveries and neighborhood TV magic. It’s a rare chance to connect with a piece of Detroit’s quirky, heartfelt history. Who else remembers Milky the Clown or Twin Pines milk on the porch? #Entertainment #DetroitHistory #MilkyTheClown00Share
