A free shuttle service will take shoppers to business districts in
Detroit, Ferndale, Hamtramck and Royal Oak on the day after

best that each community has to offer," said Geneva Williams, president
and CEO of City Connect Detroit, a nonprofit that works to secure
funding for regional partnerships.
