Once again, it’s time for Channel 7’s Community Comments.  Our station editorial about the Red Wings playing their final game at Joe Louis Arena prompted a lot of memories.  Ann Collins’ favorite was:

“The game where Paul Coffey got his 1,000th assist.  This was before he became known as wrong way 

Coffey. "

Brenda LaLande said:

“My sister and I went to The Joe and saw Sergi Fedorov score 5 goals in one game.”

Shelley Kury  wrote:

“My favorite memory is having formal dinners with the Wings on the ice back in the 80’s.”

Sarah Rood remembers:

“It’s a place where octopi fly and banners line the rafters.”

Gerald Mcginnis’ favorite Joe moment wasn’t a Wings game.  It was “…An AC/DC concert.”

Our Editorial and first Detroit 2020 Town Hall Meeting in Macomb prompted a lot of buzz on social media.

One viewer wrote:

 “It’s a great idea to allow people to voice their concerns to a team of people who really do care.”

Sharon Davis said:

“This is a wonderful idea!  Should be implemented everywhere.”   

And finally, another Channel 7 viewer and participant wrote:

“I was honored to bring awareness to the needs in Macomb County.  Thank you Channel 7 for letting us speak up about (the) good as well as bad.”

That’s it for now.  Thanks for writing and participating.
