Author Steve Platto’s latest book is Motor City Famous: Celebrity Homes, Graves & Little-known Locales. He takes us behind-the-scenes for a peek at writing the book and the sleuthing it took to find the homes of 113 former (and widely unknown) celebrity Detroiters, from Lucille Ball and Christie Brinkley to Robin Williams and Jack Kerouac. There’s even a couple of famous former residents of Dearborn!
Copies of Mr. Platto's book will be available for purchase at the Event.
