Detroit Zoo brings back 'Zoo Keys' for visitors to learn more about the animals
The Brief The Detroit Zoo re-debuted its zoo keys on Friday. People can buy a specialty key to plug into one of its audio boxes and listen to a biography of an animal. Currently, the zoo has 11 audio stations, and they plan to add four more. ROYAL OAK, Mich. (FOX 2) - It is late spring in Metro Detroit, which means school's out, and the lines are now longer at the Detroit Zoo. Meanwhile, there's a new attraction that unlocks a gateway of information for visitors. What you can do The Detroit Zoo re-debuted its zoo keys on Friday. For just $4, people can buy a specialty key to plug into one of its audio boxes and listen to a poem or biography about an animal. Emily O'Hara is the Senior Director of Guest Experiences with the Detroit Zoological Society. She says the zoo originally introduced the keys in the 1960s. The feature was off and on until it was discontinued in the early 2000s. "For years, we've been hearing from guests that they miss the zoo keys and when can we have them back again," she said. "This is one of the originals. It still has the Detroit Zoological Park label on it. People can bring these keys back, and they will still work in the audio boxes that we have just installed." What's next A re-branded key is also available. The poems are written and voiced by local youth from Metro Detroit. So far, this piece of nostalgia seems to be a hit with visitors across generations. Currently, the zoo has 11 audio stations, and they plan to add four more.

Detroit artist paints everyday people to honor their stories, not their status
A Detroit-based artist is on a mission to capture the soul of the city by painting the people who live in it. Richard Wilson isn't focused on celebrities or influencers; he's painting everyday Detroiters, not because they're famous, but because he believes their lives and stories are worth remembering. "It's quite niche," Wilson says of his work, "but I think those are the people we should be celebrating, treating as aristocracy, and having paintings of them in public spaces." Originally from London, Wilson got his start as a graffiti artist. Over time, he shifted to murals, and his most well-known Detroit piece, "A Tribute to Stevie," graces the side of the Music Hall downtown. But now, he's pivoting once again. "I've moved away somewhat from the murals," Wilson says. "I'm keen to do the same kind of thing with people around us who are still with us, to have their legacy kept in this classical way." That vision is what drives his latest project, a portrait series he's calling "Season One." It features Detroiters whose stories might otherwise go untold. His most recent subject? Flint native and world-renowned muralist Hubert Massey, known for his large-scale fresco installations. "For me, the narrative is Hubert," Wilson says. "It's not about me. I just want to celebrate Hubert." Wilson has also painted Detroiters like Jantae' Spinks and her partner, owners of "Someday," an art gallery and bakehouse in the city's North End neighborhood. Spinks says the project is meaningful on a deep level. "They don't get to see themselves that way," she says. "Especially everyday Black people in Detroit. So to take on that task of ennobling them and ushering them into a realm they might never have seen themselves in, it's kind of heavy." Wilson hopes to continue the portrait project beyond this initial season. "I've got a list as long as your arm of this other person, this other person, who I'm going to be painting," he says. His goal is simple: to show people they matter. "I've never met kinder, lovelier people in the world," Wilson says of Detroit. "And I'm reasonably well-traveled."

Former Lion Nate Burleson pouring his new vodka in metro Detroit over Father's Day weekend
When Nate Burleson was released by the Detroit Lions in 2014, fans questioned what would become of LionBlood Clothing Co., the wide receiver's clothing line centered on the Detroit team's mascot. It's been more than a decade since Burleson's time with the Lions, yet he's maintained the LionBlood Clothing Co. and his sense of Detroit pride, and this weekend, he's expanding the brand with a new venture — LionBlood Vodka. A collaboration with Ferndale distillery Valentine Distilling Co., LionBlood Orange Vodka is a made-in-Michigan, small-batch blend of Valentine vodka infused with notes of blood orange and elderflower. The former NFL star and Emmy Award-winning media personality approached Rifino Valentine, founder and president of Valentine Distilling Co. to create 'a vodka like no other,' according to a news release. "A lion sleeps in the heart of all of us,' Burleson said in the release, again nodding to the Lions' mascot. 'We hunt for what we want in this world, so the time is now. Remember to savor every sip and conquer your jungle.' The collaboration launches just in time for Father's Day, and Burleson, a father of three, is encouraging all dads to join him in metro Detroit for the celebration. Following an 11-year NFL career, the last four seasons with Detroit, Burleson became an analyst for the NFL Network. He joined "The NFL Today" on CBS in 2017 and has been a co-host of "CBS Mornings" since 2021. On Friday, June 13, Burleson will be pouring drinks and mingling with guests for a meet-and-greet at Belle's Lounge in Ferndale from 6-9 p.m. On Saturday, June 14, he'll sign bottles of LionBlood Orange at Kroger in St. Clair Shores from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The events offer an opportunity to enjoy a Michigan-made spirit with a Lions icon and a true champion of Detroit pride. Visit for more information. Friday, June 13, 6-9 p.m. - Belle's Lounge, 161 Vester St., Ferndale Saturday, June 14, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. - Kroger, 22801 Harper Ave., St. Clair Shores This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: Ex-Lion Nate Burleson pouring new vodka in metro Detroit this weekend
