Today marks 49 years since the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior. The ship was the largest and fastest on the Great Lakes, known for its record-setting ore hauls. It launched in 1958 and had a capacity of 26,000 tons. In Detroit, three thieves crashed a truck into a pole while attempting to break into Giovanni’s Auto Sales early Thursday. They made noise getting through the gate and lost a man and a gun during their chaotic getaway. Oakland County residents recently approved a millage to improve parks. This will provide free entry to county parks and dog parks, excluding certain pay-to-play attractions like golf courses and waterparks.
