Prince of the Motor City show comes to UDM campus

Hollywood director Jack Bender, the man behind the hit series "Lost," chose University of Detroit Mercy's McNichols campus over nine other universities as the location for the pilot episode of "The Prince of the Motor City" a few weeks ago.

The TV series is about a Harvard professor who returns home to take over his dad's auto company, á la Hamlet. Bender choose the lecture hall in UDM's Chemistry Building because it best mirrored Harvard's campus.
