Hamtramck is a small city with big stories. Pro ball clubs, raucous revelers, a one-of-a-kind auto manufacturer, tennis stars, and even the Pope Mobile have all found their way into the 2.1 square miles of the town. Together we will explore these stories and more on Walking Hamtramck: Southside Stories.

We'll go through Veterans Park, and discuss the highs and lows of a historic gem. We'll talk about crooked mayors and benevolent beat cops. We'll walk in the footsteps of a religious leader, and remember a civic-minded superintendent.

Join us as we examine the often overlooked history of Hamtramck!
