Before we made the final decision to put Tigers ace Tarik Skubal on our cover, I did some digging in the Hour Detroit archives (after all, baseball is a game of stats). First, I wanted to see how many times a Tiger had graced our cover. The answer? Five.
Restaurant Report: Highlands

1 week ago | hourdetroit.com | Jack Thomas

For the better part of the past 48 years, the top two floors of Michigan’s tallest building have been a place to eat, drink, and celebrate special occasions. But depending on the Renaissance Center’s fate, it could all be reduced to a memory. When chef Shawn McClain opened Highlands in 2019, it was the third eatery to occupy the RenCen’s 71st and 72nd floors.
Culture Convo: Defining Detroiter

2 weeks ago | hourdetroit.com | Ryan Patrick Hooper

If you don’t feel confident as a Detroit sports fan, I don’t blame you. It’s been a while since we’ve been world champions … since our jersey has hung on “The Spirit of Detroit” in true victory, not just as a prop. In the meantime, the Detroit Lions have taken us to the edge — and ultimately didn’t deliver (but don’t say that to Dan Campbell’s face). I do think we’re awfully close with this team. The Detroit Tigers were a miracle team. Pitching chaos under skipper A.J. Hinch?

City Guide 2025: The History of Woodward Avenue

2 weeks ago | hourdetroit.com | Ronald Ahrens

Like the gristly patellar tendon that obstructs Dan Campbell’s kneecap theory of football, Woodward Avenue is Detroit’s inescapable, ungnawable sinew. Since 1805, it has bound the city through dire challenges and moments of glory. From Isamu Noguchi’s “Pylon” at Hart Plaza to the grand-finale Pontiac loop, a distance of 27 miles, Woodward Avenue has served as not only a transportation corridor but also a nexus for social activities.

With some of the best museums in the country, like the Detroit Institute of Arts (named the best art museum in the country by USA Today readers two years in a row), countless art festivals throughout the year, and many monuments to admire, the city of Detroit is every art enthusiast’s dream.

For 30 years, Emily T. Gail has thrived in paradise: Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. While her address has been in the Aloha State, however, her heart has remained in Detroit. As have several of her possessions.
Last Chance to See Andre Smith’s Exhibit at the Downtown Art Gallery

2 weeks ago | hourdetroit.com | Ryan Patrick Hooper

In an assuming gallery just outside of downtown Detroit, a major exhibit documenting the past 50 years of hip-hop is a show you shouldn’t miss. Like the genre itself, “Hip Hop Evolution: Celebrating 50 Years of Hip Hop Photography” is heavy on telling a story. This time, however, it’s told through photography instead of lyrics.

3 weeks ago | hourdetroit.com | Bill Dow |Christina Clark

The improbable journey and accomplishments of the Detroit Tigers and their ace, Tarik Skubal, in 2024 will no doubt be remembered for years to come. Not only did one of MLB’s youngest teams come out of nowhere to win 31 of their last 44 games to make the playoffs, but Skubal, a 2018 ninth-round draft pick who overcame two arm surgeries, became a first-time All-Star and was baseball’s best pitcher. In fact, it was on his 28th birthday, Nov.
