Have you ever driven in the left lane on the Mackinac Bridge? Have you walked it on Labor Day, looking at the water 200 feet below? While the “Mighty Mac’s” steel grating is unnerving for some, it’s kept the bridge safe, sturdy and aerodynamic above the windy Straits of Mackinac for nearly 30 years. When the grates are changed out, the old steel is set on a trailer and hauled away. But where do these Michigan relics go? They become lamps, knives and keychains. They get shaped into coat hangers, necklaces, and tables. Some Mackinac steel has even made it to the South Pole. In episode seven of Yes Michigan we’ll hear about the many lives of the Mighty Mac, and the creative Michiganders who are repurposing the bridge. We’ll meet a steeplejack who climbs all over the iconic structure, and a mechanic who took a piece of Michigan to the ends of the earth. We’ll explore what the bridge means to those who love it most, and why so many people want to have a piece of their own.

The Detroit Lions redemption arc has captured the hearts of football fans across the country. But did you know there's another football team climbing to new heights in the motor city? Detroit City FC started as an amateur, rec-league soccer team in 2012. A decade later, they reached the second tier of American professional soccer. And with them every step of the way is the Northern Guard: a rabid, rowdy supporters group that embodies the spirit of Detroit. Join MLive’s Patrick Shea on a trip to Hamtramck, where you get the world in two square miles, and the world’s sport is on the rise.
