Meet Sister Pie owner and founder sharing recipes and samplings from her cookbook
A downtown Wyandotte business that offers vintage home décor and goods is hosting an evening with Lisa Ludwinski, owner and founder of Sister Pie in Detroit's West Village.
Ludwinski, cookbook author and the well-known owner of the pie and bakery shop in Detroit's West Village, will be at the Loom in Wyandotte at 6 p.m. Friday, May 30.
At the Loom's 'An Evening with Lisa Ludwinski of Sister Pie,' Ludwinski will talk about her favorite recipes from her cookbook 'Sister Pie: The Recipes & Stories of a Big-Hearted Bakery in Detroit,' (Lorena Jones Books, $25).
There will also be recipe sampling, and Ludwinski will sign copies of her book. If you already have a copy of the Sister Pie cookbook, you can bring it for Ludwinski to sign.
Ludwinski is known for her pies and other baked goods that hail from the Sister Pie shop in Detroit's West Village. Hallmarks of Ludwinski's pies are a crust featuring a thick, crimped decorative edge, rich golden color and a buttery taste paired with a flaky texture.
Ludwinski's Sister Pie shop opened in 2015 in Detroit's West Village on Kercheval. There you will find a huge variety of pies, cookies, brownies and other baked goods. Sister Pie also offers various baking classes from making hand pies to learning on to make pie dough.
Maryja Kaminski opened the Loom a year ago, which offers vintage textiles and home décor. Since opening, Kaminski said, they've hosted other events to engage the community. She told the Free Press that Loom shares an ethos like Sister Pie, with its strong focus on community. Kaminski, according to shoptheloom website, founded the downtown Wyandotte shop with a focus on curating textile arts from sources that include private sellers and secondhand stores.
Tickets for the Sister Pie event are $20 each and include the tasting and presentation. For tickets, go to shoptheloom.com under classes. The Loom is at 3122 Biddle Ave. in downtown Wyandotte between Sycamore and Maple streets.

Detroit Lions signing Trystan Colon as insurance with Frank Ragnow retiring: Report
It didn't take long for the Detroit Lions to find a backup plan at center. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Lions have signed offensive lineman Trystan Colon to a one-year deal. Colon, 27, has played in 51 NFL games for two teams over five seasons, most recently for the Arizona Cardinals in 2024. He was undrafted out of Missouri in 2020. Advertisement Colon, formerly known as Colon-Castillo, played in all 17 games for the Cardinals in 2024, making a career-high seven starts. He has made four career starts at center, all with the Baltimore Ravens from 2020-22, and 11 starts at right guard from 2023-24 with the Cardinals. The signing follows the retirement of longtime Lions center Frank Ragnow, who announced his retirement via Instagram on Monday. Ragnow, a first-round pick in 2018, was the Lions' starting center from 2018-24, making 96 starts. ANALYSIS: Lions lose one of their most critical players. The road to the Super Bowl just got harder. Among the options the Lions are considering to replace Ragnow is 2025 second-round draft pick Tate Ratledge, who has been taking snaps at center during organized team activities. Ratledge primarily served as a right guard in college for the Georgia Bulldogs, but has been praised by members of the Lions staff for his versatility. Advertisement The Lions could also turn to veteran Graham Glasgow at center. He started at left guard last season. You can reach Christian at cromo@ Stay connected and stay informed.

Thousands of peonies cut, destroyed at popular Ann Arbor garden
Thousands of peonies were cut in an act of vandalism at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor on Saturday night, according to the garden's director. In a Facebook post on Sunday morning, director Tony Kolenic provided a video message from the W.E. Upjohn Peony Garden at Nichols Arboretum. "Thousands of blooming flowers were cut and left behind. These peonies are not just plants, they are living beings. They've been nurtured over generations and bring joy, community, and connection to the natural world for so many people every season," he said. The vandalism came just hours after a Facebook post from the Matthaei Botanical Gardens page that said "The peonies are looking great this morning" and that many of them were expected to bloom this weekend. "What happened here was an act of disregard not just for the garden, but for the community that cherishes it, even for life itself," Kolenic said in his Sunday message. The Matthaei Botanical Gardens, established in 1907, encompasses more than 300 acres of diverse landscapes, including eleven outdoor gardens, a 10,000+ square-foot conservatory with numerous plant collections and nearly three miles of nature trails. "Wow. Like a gut punch out of nowhere," one Facebook user commented, in reaction to the destroyed peonies.
