In today's newsletter, fish in two southeast Michigan rivers are loaded with PFAS, recent storms have been eating away at Michigan drought and a Kalamazoo man gets his conviction vacated after 22 years in prison. |
We all have our own taste in music. Luckily, there are plenty of concerts to choose from. |
We can't all agree on music. But that's OK! We don't need to agree. Because there are all kinds of concerts to attend in Michigan. Heck, if every one of us wanted to go to any one concert, could you imagine those ticket prices? Michigan's own Kid Rock announced he is heading home for a concert in July, with tickets going on sale Friday. Or perhaps a Snoop Dogg show is more your style? He's also showing up in July, bringing a few special guests. And we have to mention that Santana is coming back to our state. None of those are your thing? How about "Six," one of the hottest shows in musical theater. Oh, you'd rather have comedy? Adam Sandler is swinging through, too.

Recent ice storms and snowstorms have been eating away at Michigan drought. |
Decreasing drought: Well, there is a positive side to those storms we were all complaining about. The recent storm systems have produced ample moisture and have greatly reduced the size of drought in Michigan and the severity of the drought. But some areas are still in severe drought: The southeast quarter of Michigan is still anywhere from abnormally dry to severe drought. Severe drought still stretches from Ann Arbor to southeast Oakland County to St. Clair and southern Sanilac County. Moderate drought takes up the rest of southeast Lower Michigan. Embrace late winter: Since it's March, it's already meteorological spring, but we aren't officially out of the winter season until later this month. The DNR has workshops on snowshoe-making and other topics to help you embrace this time of year. |

Kyle is sharing some thoughts on what the Lions could do at the top of the NFL Draft. |
Who will the Detroit Lions take? While the draft is always punctuated by some mystery, hang around that team long enough and it’s usually not that difficult to understand their intentions coming out of the NFL combine. Not in the first round anyway. And it has very little to do with what happens on the field. Read more from MLive's Kyle Meinke here. Checking in on a former second-round pick: They’ve found stars like Penei Sewell and Aidan Hutchinson on Day 1. They’ve found gems like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Malcolm Rodriguez and James Houston on Day 3. Two years into the rebuild, this Detroit Lions regime has killed the NFL draft. Levi Onwuzurike, well, that’s another story. Elsewhere in sports: How many more wins does Michigan need to make the NCAA Tournament?
