Should the Tigers' Torii Hunter Move to Shelby Township or Utica?

Torii Hunter, the Detroit Tigers newest player, took to Twitter on Friday to ask for recommendations on places to stay in the southeastern Michigan area.

On Thursday, free agent outfielder Torii Hunter made news by agreeing to a contract with the Detroit Tigers. Hunter's signing stoked the hot stove for baseball fans in Detroit. And on Friday, Hunter piqued fans' interest even more when he took to Twitter (his account is @toriihunter48) to ask for suggestions on a place to live in the southeastern Michigan area. Do you think Hunter should move to Shelby Township or Utica? The city offers access to beautiful parks and easy access to freeways that lead to Comerica Park. What do you think? Why should Torii Hunter move to Shelby Township or Utica?

Marina, I agree with the respondent. I don't know how Stathekis can say he saved the Township 4.1 mil, unless he is including the monies that ex-Chief Levan saved him on the police station. Go through the Hall Road section of Shelby, down Van Dyke, down Shelby Pkwy, the mile roads, etc. Kuka opened in the parkway area, but there are a lot of now abandoned buildings in that area. Oh ya, we have a …   more ›

Tigers’ Justin Verlander and Supermodel Kate Upton Spotted at Shelby Bar

Rumors of Tigers' Justin Verlander and Supermodel Kate Upton's budding romance continues to spread after the two were spotted together at Coyote Joe's on Thursday, according to CBS Detroit.

Employees at Coyote Joe's confirmed to CBS Detroit that Tigers' pitcher Justin Verlander was spotted with supermodel Kate Upton Thursday at the Shelby Township bar on 22 Mile and Ryan roads. The article states that the two looked "very chummy" and were "hanging all over each other" at Coyote Joe's after attending an Aerosmith concert earlier that evening, CBS Detroit reported.

Patch asks Macomb Township resident, Tigers expert and Fox Sports Detroit baseball announcer Mario Impemba to weigh in on the team's strengths and playoff possibilities.

With the first pitch of Opening Day only a few hours away, Patch caught up with Macomb Township's resident Tigers expert Fox Sports Detroit baseball announcer Mario Impemba to ask his thoughts on the team's strengths and odds for the season.

I have met Mario a couple times and he seems like a class act. Glad he's on the air in Detroit this year and look forward to seeing/hearing him call a lot of games (when I am not at the ballpark!) On paper, I agree with his assessment. We will see...   more ›
