Episode Description from the Publisher

When Leah Warshaw first heard someone say they remembered when The Old Miami was The New Miami, she thought it was a corny joke. But nope, that was a real thing. That got her thinking, why the name change?  WDET's Ryan Patrick Hooper digs into the long—sometimes bloody—history of the dive bar to trace its journey across decades and several name changes, as well as what it means to folks today.  Our CuriosiD series is fueled by questions about metro Detroit from listeners like you.
