Our station invitation to our second 7 News Detroit Lets Talk community initiative in Shelby Township prompted some interesting comments and questions. Anthony Lafata suggested:
Lets talk about small towns within towns that shouldnt exist. For example, Utica and Centerline. Shelby Township has been talking about building a downtown for years now. If they absorb Utica, the problem solves itself.
Denny Ziarko asked:
Does it have to be a local problem? Id like to see retirement lowered so people can draw on investments at 50.5 years without penalty. It generates spending in the economy.
Brett Correll said:
Lets talk about how we have way too many streetlights and need proper roundabouts.
Margaret Dust wrote:
Id like to know more about the history of Shelby Township and why so many vacant buildings.
Another viewer said:
How about (the) roads (that) never got done, (why) the weight limits for semi-trucks are higher in Michigan than other states, and what about all the cannabis shops?

Another viewer asked:
Can we talk about why the corner of 24 and Van Dyke has vacant land and looks horrible in the middle of the township? There was a development plan but apparently that fell off the radar.
– Paula Chalou Stolar
Our Detroit Tigers Opening Day editorial triggered this response from Christobal Flores:
I cant believe how much theyre charging for those box seats. Thats ridiculous.
Tim Addison said this about the large crowd:
Thanks for the warning. Ill stay away from that.
And finally, this comment:
Go Tigers! Time to build on last years success.
– A. Hoover
Thanks for writing.
