WXYZ’s Carolyn Clifford will be broadcasting live from the DIA starting at 5 p.m. during the Chess club's weekly meeting.

And at 6 p.m., Photojournalist John Ciolino will take you down the street to an institution in Detroit: Bill’s Recreation on 3rd street. It’s the truest sense of a pool hall, no food, no drinks… just serious pocket pool.

Bill’s Recreation is the last pool hall left in the city of Detroit.
