‘El Dorado Drive' Review: A Risky Ride on the Wheel
It is 2008, in the early months of the recession, another way of saying that the residents of the very confidently named El Dorado Drive, on the tattered edges of Detroit's east side, have seen better days. The group includes Pam Bishop, a 42-year-old divorced mother of two, whose pugilistic ex-husband is in high arrears on child-custody payments. Though Pam lacks financial support, she can always count on emotional support from her older sister, Debra, and her younger sister, Harper, from whose vantage point Megan Abbott's muted thriller 'El Dorado Drive' unspools. Money—that is to say money's absence—defines the sisters' lives. The Bishops grew up in an affluent Detroit suburb, but golden places often have short leases. Their father lost his auto-industry job in an earlier downturn and died soon after. At the start of the novel, Debra is drowning in debt from her husband's cancer treatment and Harper is struggling to pay back a secret loan from a secret source for a secret reason. Ebullient, gregarious Pam had married well, but her hotshot husband came a cropper in several business ventures. Divorce followed. So did the move from a mansion to a ramshackle rental on El Dorado Drive. Yet when Harper, a riding instructor, returns to Detroit after several weeks away teaching equestrian skills at a camp in rural Michigan, she is baffled to see Pam in new clothes and a new car—granted, a leased car. Pam's good fortune comes courtesy of 'the Wheel,' which bills itself as a women's empowerment group. It all seems great if you don't look too closely or ask too many questions. But then Pam ends up dead.

Detroit entrepreneur launches all-in-one platform to help creators monetize work
A former professional basketball player from Detroit is taking his talents from the court to the tech world with one goal in mind: helping creators get paid. Donnavan Kirk is the CEO and president of Creator Connect, a new platform designed to help artists and creatives manage, grow and monetize their work, whether it's physical products or digital content. "It's a marketplace for artists and creators all over the globe," Kirk said. Before launching the platform, Kirk spent nearly two decades pursuing basketball. He played professionally in Lithuania, Cyprus, Greece and Japan, and even launched a youth basketball camp. After retiring from the game, he felt a new calling. "I felt this tug, like, go ahead, get into tech, see where it takes you," he said. "I didn't know how to code a lick." Despite not knowing how to code, Kirk taught himself the ropes and began building Creator Connect, a platform he describes as part Etsy, part Fiverr and part Uber. The platform allows users to browse creators or content they like, submit custom project requests, propose a budget and deadline, and begin the process of closing a deal, all in one place. "What we're basically doing is taking away all that gray area, and saying, 'Hey, look, here's a creator. You may not be able to reach them through a DM, but now you can send them an idea with a budget attached,'" he said. At its core, Kirk says the platform is about empowerment. "I want creators to have freedom, that's my biggest thing. And I want them to get paid rates that make sense," he said. Although Creator Connect is global in scope, Kirk says the energy behind it is purely Detroit. "Now it's game time, and we're here, and we're doing this thing," Kirk said.

EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell
The post EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell appeared first on ClutchPoints. It appears an NCAA college basketball video game could be coming from EA Sports after bringing back College Football. EA Sports dropped the bombshell tease on Monday, June 30, 2025. They posted an image of a basketball with their logo on it, and the caption read, 'Bring the Madness. Let's run it back.' This is huge news for college basketball fans. It has been over a decade since the last college basketball video game came out from the game studio. When did EA Sports' last NCAA college basketball game come out? It has been nearly 16 years since the last NCAA Basketball game came out from EA Sports. NCAA Basketball 10 was released on November 17, 2009, before the series' hiatus. Blake Griffin was the cover athlete of the game. He retired in 2023 after playing in the NBA for over a decade. During his career, Griffin played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Boston Celtics. EA Sports then discontinued the game after the 2010 edition. It would go on the shelf for over a decade until now. EA appears to be bringing it back. The move should not come as a surprise to fans. EA recently brought back their college football series in 2024 with EA Sports College Football 25. It was the first college football video game to come out in 14 years. NCAA Football 14 was released in July 2013, and then the series was put on the shelf for a while. Luckily, the revival was a success for the studio. College Football 26 is set to be released on July 10, 2025. The series will likely continue to go on for as long as players buy the game. Fans will have to wait and see when EA Sports announces more details regarding their NCAA college basketball game. It will probably come out sooner rather than later. If they follow the release cycle of the last games, it could come out in November 2025.
