In an effort to keep impaired drivers off the road this weekend, AAA will activate its “Tow to Go” program for the Memorial Day Holiday weekend.
“Tow to Go” provides safe transportation for impaired drivers and their vehicles.
The program will be active from 6 p.m. Friday, May 27 through 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 31.
Michigan residents can call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO for a safe ride. When called, a tow truck transports the would-be impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10 mile radius.
The service is free, yet AAA asks that it be treated as a backup plan. “Two to Go” should be used as a last resort, according to AAA.
May 14 is the day! Don't forget to leave a nonperishable food item on your front porch for "Stamp Out Hunger."
The hearing was adjourned after it was discovered that someone watching the hearing virtually had posted screenshots of the hearing to social media.
Like departments across the country, the Warren police and fire departments have had trouble hiring first responders.
The volunteer-based Michigan Cares for Tourism, or MC4T, nonprofit has launched an auction for the Pure Michigan guitar, a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind instrument created by Wallace Detroit Guitars.
The proceeds from the auction will be donated to MC4T, a volunteer partnership of tourism professionals dedicated to restoring and preserving Michigan’s historic, cultural, and natural attractions.
The custom-made Pure Michigan guitar is made of reclaimed old-growth pine from the Packard assembly plant, originally cut from Michigan forests. The custom pickguard is handmade of aged copper and hand-etched with the Pure Michigan logo and scenes from around the state.
The guitar strap is handmade of reclaimed vinyl from 1960 Cadillac car seats, and the control k***s are handmade brass replicas of Detroit manhole covers. The guitar is a testament to the hard work and high quality of Michigan’s makers and innovators.
To bid on the guitar, visit
www.bidding.com. The auction will close at noon on May 25, and the winner of the guitar will be announced later that day at the “Return to Summer” Pure Michigan event on Mackinac Island via Facebook Live. To watch of video of the making of the guitar, visit
