    Built to Move: The Legacy of Ford’s Piquette Plant
    2025/10/14
    Oct. 14, 2025 ~ Dr. Robert Livernois rolls back the clock to the birthplace of the Motor City’s automotive revolution: the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant on this episode of Hidden in Plain Sight. Located in Detroit's Milwaukee Junction, just a few miles up Brush Street from Ford Field, this unassuming brick building helped launch a global industry. Built in 1904, it was Ford Motor Company’s first purpose-built factory—featuring fireproofing innovations, hand-built cars, and a rooftop water tank that was ahead of its time. Today, visitors can walk the same floors where the automotive age began. Listen in for a story of invention, grit, and the Detroit spirit that changed the world.

  • 150 Years of Vernors: Detroit's Golden Drink

    150 Years of Vernors: Detroit's Golden Drink
    2025/10/07
    Oct. 7, 2025 ~ In this episode of Hidden in Plain Sight, we dive into the fizzy legacy of Vernors Ginger Ale, a Detroit original with roots stretching back over 150 years. While shoppers stroll past the Lululemon at Woodward and Clifford, few realize they’re standing on the site of James Vernor’s original pharmacy—where America’s oldest ginger ale was born. A Civil War veteran and pharmacist, Vernor left behind a barrel of ginger, vanilla, and spices before heading off to serve. What he returned to was a smooth, golden drink that would become a Midwest icon. From soda fountains to neon signs, and from family-run bottling plants to corporate ownership, Vernors has remained a beloved staple in Michigan. Tune in for a story of invention, nostalgia, and the sweet taste of Detroit history. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
