The City of Detroit turns 322 on Monday! It was founded on July 24, 1701 by Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac.
According to the Detroit Historical Society, Cadillac was a French military leader and trader and had traveled throughout what was then New France and the Western Great Lakes region.
He and his soldiers left Montreal on June 5, 1701 and traveled through Lake Nipissing, into the Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and finally on the Detroit River, stopping on Grosse Ile on July 23. The next day, they traveled up the river and landed at Fort Pontchartrain.
The fort's full name was Fort Pontchartrain du détroit, which gave Detroit its name. Le détroit is "the strait" in French.
You can view a full timeline of Detroit's history on the Detroit Historical Society website.
This 1954 sculpture was create by Marshall M. Fredericks' "Boy and Bear." It was located in a place where most Detroiters shopped. Where could you find this sculpture?

So why is Snoop’s last name Broadus?
Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. was born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, to Vernell Varnado and Beverly Tate.[9][10] Vernell, who was a Vietnam War veteran, singer, and mail carrier, left the family only three months after his birth, and thus he was named after his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. (1948–1984).[11] His father remained largely absent from his life. As a boy, his mother nicknamed him "Snoopy" due to his love and likeness of the cartoon character from Peanuts.
Well, Im glad he got back in his son’s life and not just after the success. Vietnam probably fucked him up.
If anyone is watching From, my Dad and I have come to the conclusion that they're in Hell, Michigan. Since that bus full of people at the end of Season 1 are from West Michigan.
Stayed up to watch the game. Solid shit, we got stops when they counted. Gibbs looking good.

I have a superstition. If I wear a Detroit Lion/Piston/Tiger/Red Wings shirt and DON'T watch the games they win...Last night in my Detroit Lions shirt, I turned when Kansas had scored 17-14. They just got a PI call against them, another player was pushed to the ground and called for tripping. Turned the game off and went to bed, one cause I had remembered my tradition and two I kept yelling at the TV and my wife was trying to sleep. I say all this to say...You're Welcome!!!
Indisputable facts!!!
My late pops was from Detroit (dec. 2006) he made it back a couple of years before he died. Never told me too much about his hustlin' days up there.
