A Detroit landmark will reopen its doors this weekend.

Michigan Central Station is reopening this week with the new mission of acting as a global hub of innovation for “mobility solutions”. In 2018, Ford Motor Company spent $90 million to purchase the vacant eyesore. They have since spent $1 billion over 6 years on renovations to create a new innovation hub.

Tonight Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central, will stream live tonight at 8:30. It’ll reair on NBC Sunday at 9 p.m. The special concert is executive produced by Detroit music icon Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg. It will feature some of the worlds biggest stars. Names like Diana Ross, Jack White, Big Sean, Melissa Etheridge, Jelly Roll and more.

Detroit Lions Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Barry Sanders will also be part of the show.

The video game Tetris turns 40 today.

It’s been on more gaming platforms than any other game in history. The theme is a Russian folk tune from the 1800s and the lyrics are about a peddler who seduces a young peasant girl.
