SC: LeBron James, pals enjoy Detroit’s Prime + Proper

LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and friends enjoy dinner at downtown’s Prime + Proper

LeBron James and Dwayne Wade and a couple pals — members and friends of the Cleveland Cavaliers — popped in for a late-night gourmet dinner Sunday night at downtown Detroit’s newest gem, Prime + Proper. There were about 10 people in the group, and they dined on a variety of things, including selections from the raw bar, the Dover sole (which LeBron had), and the baklava sundae for dessert. They also ordered a few bottles of very fine wine, including an impressive bottle of Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet.

Execs get taste of being homeless, street life

Hats off to our executive Metro Detroit friends who gave up their cushy lifestyles last week to take part in the Fourth Annual Sleep Out Executive Edition for Covenant House Michigan. Some 40-plus business leaders, including Kiko Davis, owner of First Independence Bank, Steven Kalczynski, managing director of The Townsend Hotel, and Nadia Mekled, senior sales manager at Toll Brothers, left the comforts of their homes to experience what it’s like to be homeless for one night by sleeping outside in a box on the CHM grounds. All totaled, the executives raised more than $250,000 this year to support at-risk and homeless young men and women served by CHM.
