(WHID) What's Happening in Detroit - Feb. 15

This week we pay a tribute to Mike Ilitch. He launched a worldwide restaurant empire whose "Pizza, pizza" catchphrase became ubiquitous. Little Caesars founder and owner of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, passed away lastweek at a hospital in the Motor City. He was 87.
