Andrea Isom: It s not about me. Reporter Andrea Isom, a lively, distinctive personality in local news, has left WXYZ after four years. Isom, who previously worked for Fox 2 for 11 years, told Deadline Detroit on Sunday that she decided in June to pass on renewing her contract at Channel 7. She said she s sticking around Detroit and going on her own to tell bigger stories through video. An updated LinkedIn page describes her as a digital storyteller, video production journalist and producer. I will do that on whatever platform is available, she said. Digital is where it is. Streaming is where it is, and if that s a network, it s a network. I m open to seeing where the projects that I m passionate about land and where they fit. Because it s about the stories, it s not about me.
Creativity knows no bounds for Ernie Pacsai and the other owners of SuperNatural Brewing and Spirits.
After the state Department of Health and Human Services extended its Pause to Save Lives order that shuttered indoor dining at places like restaurants in November, the ownership of the Livonia brewery at 36685 Plymouth Road began putting their engineering brains to work.
So they built several beer shanties designed to house single households inside a shielded hut with some heaters for those looking to try some of their unique brews. Unlike previous experiences with getting approvals from city government, Pacsai said Livonia s expedited process allowed for a very quick turnaround to allow them to open.
