    Mack Black Productions has a new film, “Detroit Boi.” It’s a documentary short starring Patrick “PT” Trainor and Chris Turner. That’s right, a couple of Corridor heavyweights telling it like it is. It’s funny, it’s real, it’s somber at times… it’s 22mins, it’s great. We’re excited and you should be too. That’s why we’re throwing a good old-fashioned knock-down drag-out DEE-TROIT BASH at The Old Miami, August 9th. The screening is at 8pm. Red carpet fun and photo ops start about 6pm. A celebration of the Cass Corridor, past, present, and future! Directed by: Mike Targus 3138313830
