Cadillac Returning Back To Michigan


Cadillac will relocate is headquarters back to Detroit from New York City. Cadillac moved its HQ to New York under former boss Johan de Nysschen. Cadillac on Wednesday confirmed that the automaker has decided to relocate the luxury brand's headquarters back to Michigan.

Detroit is great, but it can be an echo chamber, especially in a company as large and storied as General Motors. The problem is that Cadillac still relies heavily on Detroit.

Cadillac is returning its global headquarters to metro Detroit after three years in New York's upscale SoHo neighborhood. The move contradicts General Motors' stated plans in the near future.

A GM spokesman confirmed that Cadillac will move to a location near GM’s technical center in Warren, Mich., north of Detroit. A probable location would be the former headquarters of longtime GM ad agency partner Lowe Campbell Ewald in Warren, Mich., north of Detroit. GM bought the 150,000-square-foot building for $2 million in 2014.

"The move will place the Cadillac brand team closer to those responsible for the new Cadillacs, including design, engineering, purchasing and manufacturing, ensuring full integration of Cadillac's global growth strategy."

Top 5 Most Stressed Out Cities


The Wrap-Up Magazine did its own survey on the top 5 stressed out cities in America. This is a survey done by recent cities visited in my lifetime. Take a look at what came out of my road travels in The United States.

1. Detroit
 Detroit's historic bankruptcy isn't the only thing stressing Motor City's residents out. Murder and property crime are prevalent in this troubled city, which has had its police force slashed in the past decade for Detroit.

Many residents are also struggling to make ends meet. The metro division's unemployment rate is hovering around 9%, several percentage points higher than the national average. Meanwhile, more than a quarter of Detroit's residents live below the poverty line.

2. Houston

Known for its many oil jobs, Houston, Texas is the place which you can require 80-plus hour weeks in the oilfields. The metro area has the longest average workweek of all 55 places. Getting to work can also be a major frustration due to traffic congestion. Houston's massive sprawl means that residents are often forced to brave the roads.

Blame it on the booming economy. Close to 400,000 jobs have been added to the area in the past four years, said Patrick Jankowski, vice president of research at the Greater Houston Partnership.

 Brutal winters aren't the only thing raising Chicago residents' stress levels. The unemployment rate is still above the national average. Rush hour traffic is a pain. And with sunny days occurring around half of the year, residents don't often get the mood boost that the sun's rays can provide.

Chicagoans aren't exactly living the healthiest lifestyles. Binge drinking is common here, as is smoking -- and nearly 20% report they are in fair or poor health, according to a Centers for Disease Control survey.

 In New Orleans, Crime is rampant: The city has battled the notorious moniker of "Murder City," with a murder rate consistently among the nation's highest. On the bright side, it's cheaper to live here thanks to below-average living costs. The median home price, for example, is around $160,000.

Health concerns are also weighing on many residents. Almost a quarter of people surveyed by the CDC reported they were in fair or poor health. Smoking and lack of exercise are also common.

5. Memphis
 There can be a lot to sing the blues about in Memphis. Crime is rampant here, with a murder rate that trails only Detroit and New Orleans. Around 20% of the metro area's residents live below the poverty line.

Detroit Mafia Boss Dies

One of the American Mafia’s last old school Godfathers has passed away. Detroit mob boss Giacomo “Black Jack” Tocco died this Monday, July 14, 2014, at age 87 while surrounded by his family. Despite an alleged criminal career dating back to the 1940s, Tocco’s only conviction came in 1998 when he was found guilty of racketeering and was sentenced to two years in prison. The FBI also believes he is one of the men behind the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

Though the term is thrown around a lot in the media, in this case we can truly write that Tocco was one of the last of America’s “Golden Era” mob dons, says Mafia historian and author Scott Burnstein. “His time in the rackets dates back to the 1940s and the Tocco name goes as far back as the syndicate itself, with his dad, “Black Bill” Tocco, being considered the founding father of the city's mob and its first true mafia don.

A graduate from the University of Detroit-Mercy in 1949, Tocco quickly immersed himself in the “family” business. Upon graduation his father gave him Hazel Park Raceway on 10 Mile and Dequindre roads to run with his first cousin Anthony “Tony Z” Zerilli, who is himself another “mob son.” The two would have a falling-out after both men were convicted of racketeering in 1998 and Zerilli would turn state’s evidence in December of 2012.

Based on Zerilli’s information the FBI was confident it would find Jimmy Hoffa’s body at a piece of farmland Tocco once owned. However, after some serious digging in June 2013 they found nothing. Friends, relatives, and those wanting to pay their respect are welcome.

Trey Songz Arrested

Trey was among the performers for the "Big Show at the Joe" concert at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, which also featured performances from Chris Brown, Desiigner, Lil Yachty, and more.  The 32-year-old R&B singer reportedly became irate and started throwing microphones and other pieces of equipment after his mic was cut off during his set when he went over his allotted performance time.

In a video recorded during the show, Songz can be seen talking about them telling him they're going to cut his mic off if he didn't wrap up his performance.  He then let the audience know that he was going to go "crazy" if that happened.

"If they cut me off, remember it and text whoever you want to and tweet whoever you want to and tell everybody about it," he said. "Because a n-gga cut me off, I’m going the f--k crazy."

According to Fox 2 Detroit, police officers rushed the stage in an attempt to calm Songz down after they saw him throwing the equipment.  During the chaos, however, a Detroit Police sergeant was hit in the head with a microphone that was allegedly thrown by Trey.  The sergeant suffered a concussion and Songz was placed under arrest.  He was charged with malicious destruction of property and resisting and obstructing arrest.
