INNOVATED WHEN THEY BREW YOUR
CUP OF JOE, TOMORROW ON "LIVE
IN THE D."
>> Jason: WE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO ENJOY THE TRADITIONAL AUTO
SHOW BUT THIS COULD BE EVEN
BETTER.
HOW ABOUT AN ALL-NEW CAR SHOW
ROLLING INTO THE MOTOR CITY
THIS WEEK TAKING OVER DOWNTOWN
DETROIT.
FOUR FINE SPONSOR, THE MOTOR
CITY CAR CRAWL, YOU SAW THE
GRAPHIC DURING THE BREAK AND
OVER MY SHOULDER, WILL
SHOWCASE NEW VEHICLES AT 6
DOWNTOWN PARKS.
CARS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
THERE WILL BE FOOD, FOOD
TRUCKS, FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
AND MORE, ALL MADE POSSIBLE BY
THE DETROIT AUTO DEALERS
ASSOCIATION, THE DOWNTOWN
DETROIT PARTNERSHIP AND
HUNTINGTON.
AND JOINING US FROM CAMPUS
MARTIUS PARK WHERE ALL OF THIS
WILL BE HAPPENING IS THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
DETROIT AUTO DEALERS
ASSOCIATION, ROD ALBERTS.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
>> HI, JASON.
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY DOWN
HERE!
AND THEY’RE GETTING SET UP FOR
SHERYL CROW OVER THE WEEKEND.
>> Jason: AND JOINING US IS
THE CEO OF THE DOWNTOWN
DETROIT PARTNERSHIP.
GOOD MORNING!
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU THIS
MORNING AND WE’RE VERY EXCITED
TO GET THIS KICKED OFF, THE
MOTOR CITY CAR CRAWL PRESENTED
BY HUNTINGTON BANK.
OBVIOUSLY SANDY PIERCE AND
HUNTINGTON AND TCF COULDN’T BE
MORE PROUD.
>> Jason: THIS IS AN ALL-NEW
EVENT.
WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT TO SEE?
>> I THINK ABOUT THE WAY WE’RE
SET UP.
WE HAVE 6 GREAT PARKS DOWNTOWN
AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
CARS.
BEACON PARK, DTE IS INVOLVED,
ELECTRIC CARS, YOU NAME IT.
WE’LL HAVE AN OFF-ROAD PARK
WITH THE GRAND CIRCUS AREA.
AND ELECTRIC CARS AND CAMAROS
AND GRAND CHEROKEES.
YOU NAME IT.
THE GT 500.
ALL WILL BE DOWN HERE.
IT’S A CAR SHOW BUT IT’S A
BACKDROP FOR ENTERTAINMENT
VENUES AND ALL THINGS FOR THE
FAMILY.
WE WANT TO RAISE MONEY FOR
CHARITY AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
HERE.
>> Jason: FOR INSTANCE, WOULD
YOU HAVE CAMAROS, CORVETTES,
MUSTANGS, AND CHARGERS AND
CHALLENGERS ALL IN THE SAME
AREA?
OR IS IT GOING TO BE MIX AND
MATCH?
>> IT’S GONNA BE MIX AND
MATCH.
WE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING IT BY
BRAND, BUT IT WAS EASIER TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN ACROSS THE
BOARD.
THEY ALL HAD A DIFFERENT VIBE.
WE CAN DO PERFORMANCE CARS.
AND IF YOU TAKE THAT AND
YOU’RE ABLE TO WALK AROUND IN
5 MINUTES AND BE IN ANOTHER
LOCATION AND TAKE THIS IN.
AUGUST IS A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF
YEAR AND WE’LL HAVE GREAT
WEATHER.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERYBODY.
WE HAVE LUCKY DION FRIDAY
NIGHT, THE MICHIGAN
PHILHARMONIC.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
WE’RE UNDERSTAND LOADING.
AND THEY’RE ONE-OF-A-KIND,
HAVING HUNTINGTON INVOLVED,
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF PARTNER
THAT IS COME TOGETHER TO HELP
RAISE MONEY FOR ALL THESE
CHARITIES.
AND HELPING ALL THESE KIDS IS
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.
>> Jason: AND WHAT ABOUT FOOD,
DRINK, AND ENTERTAINMENT?
>> YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT LIKE
WHAT ROD WAS SAYING, JASON.
IT’S FOUR DAYS THROUGHOUT 6
PUBLIC SPACES AND WE’LL HAVE
OVER 30 FOOD TRUCKS, CORN HOLE
COMPETITION AT BEACON PARK.
AN EV AT BEACON PARK THANKS TO
DTE ENERGY AND THE DTE
FOUNDATION.
WE’VE GOT CARS, TOO.
WE HAVE THE MOVIE CARS
PLAYING.
AND SHERYL CROW WERE PERFORM
ON SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE
CHARITY PREVIEW.
SO, JASON, THERE WILL BE
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
AND DON’T FORGET, TAKE AN MOGO
BIKE FROM PARK TO PARK AND GET
AROUND.
IT’S A GREAT WAY TO SHOW OFF
THE DOWNTOWN PUBLIC SPACES AND
MICHIGAN’S MAJOR INDUSTRIES.
>> Jason: TELL US ABOUT THE
CHARITY GALA ON SATURDAY AND
HOW PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE
TICKETS.
>> FIRST, I WANNA SAY ABOUT
THIS CHARITY GALA, IT’S BEEN A
COUPLE YEARS SINCE WE HAD A
CHARITY PREVIEW.
WE GIVE TO THE 8 CHARITIES
THAT NEEDED MONEY LAST YEAR
DURING THE PANDEMIC.
BUT THIS IS A WAY TO DO
SOMETHING IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT,
TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE KIDS.
AND THE WHOLE IDEA, IS WE
MOVED IT FORWARD.
THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY HAS
BEEN GOING THROUGH IT TOO.
AND SHE’LL BE HERE TO PLAY FOR
ABOUT AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES
ON A SATURDAY NIGHT.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT OUT
HERE, FOOD, PARK, RESTAURANT
ALL ENGAGED.
AND A DEEJAY WARMING UP.
IT’S TIME TO GET OUT IN THE
CITY OF DETROIT AND WE WANT TO
EDUCATE PEOPLE ON WHAT’S DOWN
HERE.

IT, NO PROBLEM.
>> I’M GONNA LEAVE THAT UP TO
ROD AND HIS TEAM BECAUSE THEY
SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
ANYTHING HAPPEN.
THIS WEEKEND IS A PERFECT
EXAMPLE OF IT.
IT’S A GREAT WAY TO COME
TOGETHER SAFE IN AN OUTDOOR
