I assume Motown has licensed some of its classics to be featured on the series.
Detroit 187 is the second or third prime time series to be filmed in Detroit. HBO's Hung is also shot there, and Detroit is regularly featured on The First 48, a reality crime series. The Motown Museum has even popped up in a few montages on Detroit 187. Hung seems to feature more suburban locations, but one episode did include a scene at the old Tiger/Briggs stadium
Is it a good thing for the city of Detroit?
I was also wondering if Detroit 187 employs local actors, camera technicians, electricians, grips, etc.
