The North American International Auto Show has returned to Detroit after a long pandemic-induced hiatus. A Detroit Crain's Business reporter highlights the changes in attractions and how changing the date from January to September impacts the event. Then, a new documentary film takes a deep dive into the long history of the iconic Boblo boats which, for decades, ferried Metro-Detroiters to and from the Canadian island amusement park. Work continues to restore the original vessels. We end with an insightful discussion about executive privilege with a Michigan law professor who was on the short-list to be Special Master in the Trump document case.
