AND IT DOESN’T TAKE ANY TIME AT ALL TO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIVING AND WORKING NEAR THIS
SECTION OF WOODWARD AVENUE WANT
ACTION ON THE DREAM.
>> CRUISE IS ACTUALLY JUST ONE
DAY IN AUGUST, BUT SOME SAY IT
FEELS LIKE IT LASTS ALL SUMMER
LONG. GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
AT 11. I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN.
>> I’M KIMBERLY GILL. SHAWN LEY
IS IN OAKLAND COUNTY TONIGHT.
SHAWN, THE COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT
MORE THAN JUST NOISE.
>> LET’S LAY IT ALL OUT FOR YOU,
BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE CARS, YOU’RE
GOING TO LOVE THIS. I TELL YOU
WHAT. THINGS ARE QUIETING DOWN
RIGHT NOW. WE’RE IN ROYAL OAK,
RIGHT ALONG WOODWARD AVENUE.
STILL A LOT OF TRAFFIC. AND NOW
AS WE COME ON THE AIR, NO
TRAFFIC IN THE NORTHBOUND LANES.
BUT AN HOUR AGO, IT WAS DREAM
CRUISE LIKE RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
THE NOISE SITUATION FOR
NEIGHBORS, THE REVVING ENGINES,
THAT’S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.
IT’S GETTING WORSE. AND NOW
YOU’VE GOT POP UP CAR SHOWS IN
SOME BUSINESS, PARKING LOTS,
DRIVING BUSINESS OWNERS, RATHER
CRAZY, REALLY.
>> WELL, THE REASON WE’RE OUT
HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WE JUST
LIKE CRUISING CULTURE. MOTOR
CITY. WE’RE OUT HERE.
>> THE DREAM CRUISE IS JUST ONCE
A YEAR. THIS CRUISE IS ALMOST
EVERY NIGHT AND IS BECOMING A
NIGHTMARE FOR PEOPLE AND
BUSINESS OWNERS ALONG WOODWARD
AVENUE, THE OWNER OF BARRELS AND
VINES AND SHELL GAS STATION HERE
IN ROYAL OAK IS DEALING WITH THE
CAR SHOW TAKING OVER HIS PARKING
LOT. HE’S INVESTED IN SIGNS.
HE’S ASKED ROYAL OAK FOR HELP,
HIS PUMPS GET BLOCKED. CUSTOMERS
CAN’T GET IN RELEASE, HAVING TO
TAKE THE TIME TO CLEAR THE CARS
OUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
>> WHEN PEOPLE GET TOO CROWDED
AND THEN THEY START BLOCKING THE
PUMPS, WHICH IS STOPPING THE
COMPANY FROM THE BUSINESS, YOU
KNOW, MAKING MONEY.
>> JOSHUA CHAMBERS SAYS PEOPLE
PICK THIS LOT BECAUSE IT’S NICE
AND BARRELS AND VINES HAS GREAT
FOOD.
>> THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO
LONG. IT’S LIKE SO THIS HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR SO LONG. SO IT’S
LIKE YOU PROBABLY CAN’T HEAR ME
THE OTHER ISSUE, THE NOISE HERE,
YOU KNOW, NOT A GOLDEN ROYAL
OAK, HUNTINGTON WOODS, BERKLEY,
BIRMINGHAM, TEAMING UP, GOING
OVER. SO LONG ON WOODWARD. SO
IT’S LIKE, I DON’T KNOW. I DON’T
THINK THIS IS EVER GOING TO STOP
TO BRING THE NOISE OF DRIVERS
REVVING ENGINES DOWN.
>> IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET MORE
CRAZIER OR MORE PACKED.
>> ALL RIGHT. BACK HERE LIVE IN
ROYAL OAK PARKING LOT HERE. NOT
AS BUSY, BUT I JUST PULLED IN
ABOUT TEN MINUTES AGO, GUYS. I
COULDN’T I WANT TO NEED A GAS. I
COULDN’T GET GAS. I COULDN’T
EVEN MANEUVER THROUGH.
EVERYTHING WAS BLOCKED HERE. NOW
POLICE HAVE EXTRA PATROLS OUT IN
EAST MUNICIPALITY HAVING EXTRA
MONEY, OVERTIME, MONEY FOR THOSE
PATROLS. BUT THEY JUST CAN’T
KEEP UP WITH THE NOISE AND THE
PARKING LOT SITUATION. AND THE
LOCAL LEADERS HERE IN EACH
MUNICIPALITY, THEY’RE APPEALING
TO THE STATE TO GET SOME NEW
LAWS OR REFRESHED LAWS THAT HAVE
MORE TEETH IN IT TO GET ON THE
NOISE SITUATION. AND NOW THE
GROWING CROWD SITUATION AS WELL.
BACK TO YOU.
>> IT’S PROBABLY ONLY GOING TO
GET WORSE AS THE SUMMER
PROGRESSES AND WE GET CLOSER TO
THE DREAM CRUISE. SEAN, WE
APPRECIATE IT. WELL, WE ARE
SEEING IMPROVEMENT IN THE AMOUNT
OF AIR POLLUTION HITTING DETROIT
FROM THE WILDFIRES IN CANADA.
>> THAT’S GOOD. RIGHT NOW WE’VE
GOT THE 12TH, 12TH, RATHER WORST
AIR QUALITY IN THE WORLD. THAT’S
NOT GREAT. AIR QUALITY INDEX AT
86. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY LISTED
AT MODERATE. SO IT IS QUITE AN
IMPROVEMENT. LET’S BRING IN
FOREWARN METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS
KEEPING AN EYE ON NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND
FORECAST. YOU’VE GOT SOME RAIN
POPPING UP, KIM.
>> I DO. SO BEFORE WE GET TO AIR
QUALITY, I JUST WANT TO ZOOM IN
ON A COUPLE OF AREAS. GETTING
THUNDERSTORMS RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS, THIS IS EXACTLY,
EXACTLY THE SITUATION THAT WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT IN WAYNE COUNTY
DOWN IN RIVERVIEW AND WYANDOTTE.
THERE’S JUST THIS ONE CELL JUST
CROSSING MERIDIAN ROAD AND JUST
HEADED OFF TO THE EAST. SO IT’S
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF WYANDOTTE
AND IT’S NOW OFF TO THE EAST OF
RIVERVIEW. BUT JUST WANT TO LET
YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE. IT DOES
HAVE A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING
STRIKES IN IT AND SOME HEAVY
RAIN, BUT IT IS NOT SEVERE. IT
DOES NOT HAVE HIGH WINDS. BUT
ANOTHER AREA OF RAIN THAT I’M
WATCHING RIGHT NOW FROM NEW
HAVEN TO NEW BALTIMORE FOR ALL
THE WAY OVER TO SAINT CLAIR,
PORT HURON, YOU’RE GOING TO GET
A LITTLE THUNDERSTORM HERE. NOT
SEVERE, BUT SOME HEAVY RAIN AND
THOSE LITTLE WHITE THINGS YOU
SEE RIGHT THERE, THOSE ARE
ACTUAL LIGHTNING STRIKES. SO
THERE IS SOME THUNDER AND SOME
LIGHTNING, BUT MOST OF THE AREA
IS DRY. NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT
THE AIR QUALITY, BECAUSE WE HAVE
SEEN SOME PRETTY DECENT
IMPROVEMENT HERE OVER THE LAST 3
OR 4 HOURS. WE’RE NOW AT
MODERATE. IT GOES FROM GOOD ALL
THE WAY TO HAZARDOUS AND WE’RE
IN THE YELLOW, WHICH IS MODERATE
ON THE EAST SIDE, THOUGH, RIGHT
WHERE THOSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
SOMETIMES THUNDERSTORMS BRING
THAT SMOKE DOWN TO THE SURFACE.
SO THAT’S WHY THE EAST SIDE IS
RIGHT NOW EXPERIENCING UNHEALTHY
LEVELS OF AIR QUALITY. WE’LL
TALK ABOUT THE CHANCE FOR RAIN
OVER THE WEEKEND COMING UP IN
JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
>> OKAY, KIM, BECAUSE IT IS THE
FRIDAY BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY,
THE TRAVEL RUSH IS UNDERWAY.
JACQUELINE FRANCIS HAS BEEN OUT
AT DETROIT METRO AIRPORT KEEPING
AN EYE ON THINGS. WE’VE WATCHED
SO MUCH TROUBLE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. HOW ABOUT HERE,
JACQUELINE?
>> DEVIN IT’S LOOKING GOOD RIGHT
NOW. IT’S SO QUIET. IT’S ALMOST
EERIE TO BE IN AN AIRPORT AND IT
JUST BE THIS EMPTY. BUT IT COMES
AS NATIONWIDE. THERE WERE
EXPECTING A RECORD NUMBER OF
PEOPLE TO FLY THIS HOLIDAY
WEEKEND, BUT SO FAR HERE IN
DETROIT, THEY SEEM TO BE KEEPING
UP JUST FINE THIS 4TH OF JULY.
>> SO IT’S GOING TO BE CRAZY. I
HOPE WE DON’T HAVE ANY DELAYS.
>> IT’S TIME FOR TAKEOFF HEADING
INTO THIS SUMMER HOLIDAY WEEKEND
. PASSENGERS READY FOR 4TH OF
JULY FUN. THESE TWO HEADED TO LA
FOR THE WEEK.
>> ACTIVITIES PARASAILING STOP
BY DISNEY. CHECK OUT SOME CARS I
KNOW IT’S THE CAR SCENE IS
REALLY GOOD OUT THERE, BUT TO
GET THERE THEY HAD TO GET HERE
FIRST.
>> ARRIVING TO THE AIRPORT WITH
PLENTY OF TIME TO SPARE.
>> PRETTY GOOD AT UPDATING US IF
WE DO HAVE DELAYS OR ANYTHING.
SO WE WERE JUST EXCITED TO GO.
>> THEY WEREN’T THE ONLY ONES
EAGER TO GET WHERE THEY’RE
GOING.
>> I CAME A LITTLE EARLY, SO I
DON’T KNOW IF OUR FLIGHT IS NOT
DELAYED. IT HASN’T SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT BEING DELAYED YET. SO BUT
YOU JUST WANTED TO PLAY IT SAFE
BECAUSE OF THE.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> PLAY IT SAFE.
>> THE DEPARTURE BOARD AT
LOOKING GOOD THROUGHOUT THE DAY
FRIDAY WITH ONLY A FEW DELAYS
AND A SINGLE CANCELED OPTION I
SUPPOSED TO BE LEAVING BY 605
AND NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT 50 MORE
MINUTES.
>> SO IT’S NOT NOT THAT BAD FOR
EVEN THOSE JUST PASSING THROUGH
.
>> SAY IT WAS A BREEZE GOING TO
KNOXVILLE TO SEE MY MOM.
>> BUT I LIVE IN TUCSON AND IT’S
BEEN FLAWLESS. FLAWLESS.
>> I JUST HAVE TO DROP MY BAG
OFF.
>> I’M OUT OF HERE.
>> YEAH, IT’S REALLY EASY.
>> THE LAST FLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT
ARE TAKING OFF RIGHT ABOUT NOW,
BUT THEY EXPECT MORE PASSENGERS
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
REPORTING LIVE FROM DETROIT
METRO AIRPORT, JACQUELINE
FRANCIS, LOCAL 4.
>> GOOD DEAL. ALL RIGHT,
JACQUELINE. THE SUPREME COURT
WRAPPED UP ITS TERM MAKING BIG
NEWS TODAY. ONE DECISION COULD
IMPACT MILLIONS OF STUDENT LOAN
BORROWERS.
>> ANOTHER RULED IN FAVOR OF A
CHRISTIAN WEB DESIGNER WHO
DIDN’T WANT TO CREATE WEBSITES
CELEBRATING SAME SEX WEDDINGS
OUT OF RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS
WHILE JUSTICES WERE ALL SMILES
IN THEIR MOST RECENT CLASS
PHOTO, THE COURT SPLIT ALONG
IDEOLOGICAL LINES IN THE TERM’S
FINAL WEEK ON THURSDAY. A63
RULING GUTTED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS. CAN I
JUST SAY GOD BLESS THE SUPREME
COURT?
>> LAST FRIDAY, A63 RULING
BLOCKED PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
.
>> THE COURT’S DECISION TO
STRIKE DOWN MY STUDENT DEBT
RELIEF PROGRAM WAS A MISTAKE.
WAS WRONG.
>> BORROWERS WILL HAVE TO BEGIN
REPAYING THEIR LOANS. OCTOBER
FIRST, THOUGH THE PRESIDENT SAYS
HE’S EXPLORING NEW LOAN
FORGIVENESS PATHS.
>> I KNOW THAT THE FREEDOM I’M
STANDING FOR IS NOT JUST FOR ME.
>> THE COURT ALSO RULED IN FAVOR
OF LORI SMITH, A CHRISTIAN WEB
DESIGNER FROM COLORADO, WHO
REFUSED TO CREATE WEBSITES
CELEBRATING SAME SEX COUPLES,
CITING RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS IN
THE SIX THREE DECISION, DRAWING
CRITICISM FROM MANY IN THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE ONLY
OPENLY GAY BLACK MEMBER OF
CONGRESS.
>> NOT ONLY IS THE SUPREME
COURT’S DECISION BAD LAW, IT’S
ALSO BAD POLITICS. AND IT’S
GOING TO COME BACK TO HAUNT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> THE COURT ALSO ADDED A MAJOR
SECOND AMENDMENT CASE TO NEXT
TERM’S DOCKET, AGREEING TO
REVIEW A LAW THAT BARS ANYONE
SUBJECT TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
RESTRAINING ORDER FROM
POSSESSING A GUN AND DECLINED TO
TAKE UP A CHALLENGE TO A
MISSISSIPPI LAW THAT BARS SOME
INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF CERTAIN
FELONIES FROM VOTING. CRITICS
SAY THE STATUTE DISENFRANCHIZES
BLACK VOTERS. TWO JUSTICES
DISSENTED FROM THE COURT’S
DECISION TO TURN AWAY THE CASE.
A POSSIBLE HINT OF MORE DISSENT
AHEAD. THE COURT ALSO ALLOWED A
TRANSGENDER WOMAN’S LAWSUIT
AGAINST A VIRGINIA PRISON TO
MOVE FORWARD IN A CASE THAT
ARGUES THAT PEOPLE WITH GENDER
DYSMORPHIA SHOULD BE COVERED
UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH
DISABILITY ACT.
>> A SEMI TRUCK DRIVER FACING
MURDER CHARGES AFTER A BODY IS
DISCOVERED IN VAN BUREN
TOWNSHIP. SOMEONE CALLED POLICE
AFTER NOTICING A SEMI TRUCK AND
TRAILER WITH BOTH SIDE WINDOWS
SMASHED OUT IN A PARKING LOT
ALONG BELLEVILLE ROAD, JUST
NORTH OF I 94. INSIDE THE CAB,
THE BODY OF A 48 YEAR OLD MAN
FROM CALIFORNIA, DEAD OF
APPARENTLY A GUNSHOT WOUND.
OFFICERS VIEWED VIDEO SHOWING
THE VICTIM ARGUING WITH ANOTHER
MAN WHO EVENTUALLY SHOT THE
VICTIM BEFORE DRIVING AWAY IN A
SEMI TRUCK. GPS DATA HELPED
POLICE LOCATE THE SEMI STILL IN
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP. INSIDE THE
VEHICLE, OFFICERS FOUND WHAT
THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE MURDER
WEAPON AND THE SUSPECT WAS
ARRESTED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
>> A METRO DETROIT MAN FACING
CHARGES AFTER INVESTIGATORS SAY
HE POINTED A LASER AT A STATE
POLICE CHOPPER. INVESTIGATORS
RELEASED VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT
THAT HAPPENED MAY 16TH IN
MADISON HEIGHTS, 44 YEAR OLD
DOUGLAS FLEURY FACES MORE THAN
FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. AS OF
TODAY, IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE
HOLDING A PHONE WHILE DRIVING
ANYWHERE IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN. UNDER THE NEW LAW,
DRIVERS CAN GET PULLED OVER AND
A TICKET, IF THEY’RE CAUGHT
HOLDING OR USING A PHONE TO CALL
OR TEXT OR JUST SCROLL. YOU ALSO
CAN’T VIEW RECORD OR SEND A
VIDEO. MICHIGAN NOW JOINS 25
OTHER STATES WITH SIMILAR LAWS.
WE TALKED TO SOME METRO DETROIT
DRIVERS WHO SAY THEY’RE PREPARED
.
>> CD MY SETUP IS ALL I GOT TO
DO IS SAY IT AND THEN THEY DO
IT.
>> I HAVE A MOUNT HERE OR I SET
IT HERE AND I HAVE THE BLUETOOTH
AND THE TRUCK SO I DON’T EVER
HAVE TO TOUCH THE PHONE. I THINK
IT’S A VERY GOOD THING. IT
SHOULD BE NATIONWIDE, NOT JUST
PER STATE.
>> NOW, IF YOU’RE CAUGHT WITH
YOUR PHONE IN YOUR HAND, YOUR
FIRST TICKET WILL COST $100.
AFTER THAT, IT’S $250 A TICKET.
AND THOSE FINES WILL DOUBLE IF
THE VIOLATION HAPPENS DURING A
CRASH. THE ROCKET MORTGAGE
CLASSIC CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND.
>> FANS GETTING QUITE A TREAT
WITH A LOT OF FAN FAVORITES
PLAYING THIS YEAR AT THE DETROIT
GOLF CLUB. SOME YOUNG FANS
GETTING AN UP CLOSE LOOK AT THE
ACTION, GETTING AUTOGRAPHS FROM
SOME OF THEIR FAVORITE STARS,
AND THEY REVEAL THE BEST SPOTS
TO GET THEM. WELL I MEAN, YOU
REALLY YOU GOT TO FIND THE
AREAS.
>> AND IF YOU SIT OVER BY THOSE
FENCES, A LOT OF GUYS WILL COME
THROUGH THE THROUGH THE CHIPPING
AND PUTTING. SO THEY COME AND
NICE GUYS. YOUNG. SO SIGN YOUR
HATS, SIGN YOUR HATS.
>> YEAH. HE’S GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH
BOOK RIGHT THERE ON HIS HEAD.
JAMIE WILL HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS
AND THE REACTION FROM DAY TWO OF
