Profit numbers show Detroit is also the Mortgage City; Vaccinations expand to 50+; City's plan to deal with firefighters drinking on the job

On today's show, with timestamps:

00:24 Vaccinations expand to Michiganders 50 and older. Pandemic restrictions lift. We run down the gamut from bars and restaurants at now 50% to gyms and venues. Plus, manufacturing workers in Detroit can now get the vaccine. Detroit's public schools are reopening and a snapshot at the region's low positive test rates.

03:37 Detroit's fire department is wrestling with the use of alcohol on the job after a pair of incidents. There's also the beginnings of a new plan from city officials to deal with it.

05:36 Detroit city council has reversed course and approved all the first round of contracts for Proposal N. Even more background if you want to get into it: https://www.crainsdetroit.com/government/detroit-city-council-flips-decision-oks-proposal-n-demolition-contracts-2nd-vote

06:31 Detroit is changing from just being the Motor City to the Mortgage City. As the Detroit three and now the two big mortgage servicers in the region, Rocket Companies and United Wholesale Mortgage are all public - we can now track their profits. And the mortgage industry among these companies in southeast Michigan is more profitable than the auto industry now.

08:01 Livonia has a new Chipotle (thanks for the listener tip!)
