Detroiters Show Some Class

Homeless people to get Super Bowl party Organizers say it's not just a quick fix Detroit's homeless people won't be left out of the NFL experience during Super Bowl weekend. In fact, they'll be invited to a party. So says Chad Audi, chief executive officer of the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, which will open its activities center at 138 Stimson to the city's homeless people Feb. 3-5, with four big-screen televisions inside for people to watch Super Bowl coverage. They also will get food and clothes and talk to providers about long-term care. "Our goal, first of all, is to treat them with respect," Audi said. "We want to let them enjoy the game like everyone else." The three-day party -- which will be from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Feb. 3 and 4 and from 8 a.m. until the game concludes Feb. 5 -- coincides with a ramped-up effort to get homeless people into shelters across the city with so many out-of-towners, not to mention international media, in the city for the game.
