SAVE YOUR TEETH (and your kids, too)!

Too many people take their teeth for granted, until they lose them or they hurt so badly they can't use them anymore (without spending a lot of money and feeling a lot of pain).

It all starts with simple habits, but they're important.  Learn what's important so you can keep smiling...and be proud of your smile.  Teach your kids while they're young!

There are thousands of volunteer patrols across the city, increased police and fire presence, temporary curfews in place and a number of alternative activities planned to try and keep mischievous youth off the streets.

Mayor Dave Bing's office announced he plans to visit several Angels' Night events beginning Tuesday night.

Beginning at 5 p.m., Bing will attend a roll call of state police, Detroit firefighters. Detroit police and Wayne County sheriff's deputies at Cobo Hall.
