Detroit Police and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department report that their facilities still have power, but they are conserving energy by turning off computers and air conditioning to try and lift some of the strain on the system.
According to Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers game scheduled for tonight is still on. The stadium has power. It may be tricky getting there and dealing with parking as many traffic lights are out in the area.
The Detroit Institute of Arts is closed, as well as a film event scheduled for tonight at the DIA’s theaters - Double Features with Richard Chew.

If they don’t fix this directly it should make for an interesting evening after nightfall when Team Obama moves in.

The Mystersky Center appears to also be known as the Morrell Street Power Plant and is owned by Detroit Power. It seeems to be at the foot of Morrell Street in the south side Ft Detroit area. This is an old part of town developed before the auto boom. I would guess this is an old plant which may be having equipment problems. Any Motor City Freepers out there to provide some details?

With only half the population that they had a few decades ago, and with more efficient appliances, light bulbs, etc since a few decades ago, how can it be possible that they have more than halved their capacity? This is what you get when you elect only Democrats.
