I helped out a man at work today who was obviously wealthy--he had just smashed up his 2009 Cadillac Escalade.
I could tell he was someone of significant stature by the reverential treatment the personnel at the body shop gave him.
He was badly shaken up by the accident and uttered a few lines about "the blessing and the curse of his famous name."
I had no idea to what he was referring to.
Only when he left did my coworker inform me he was one of the sons of Mike Ilitch--owner of the Detroit Red Wings/Detroit Tigers and founder of Little Caesar's Pizza.
I guess I still haven't lived here long enough to know the local celebrities.
Maybe I need to watch SportsCenter more...
Nah.
Speaking of local celebrities...I learned randomly from the aforementioned link that this esteemed humanitarian was given Detroit's key to the city.
Wow.
Callahan's 15...whatever!

Weird. That happened to me when I worked at the children's museum. Mrs. Fabiano came...who is apparently weathly (and particular about not having dried out markers...) and well-known around Michigan.
Fabiano of Fabiano Brothers? The biggest beer distributor in the land? Yeah, I couldn't tell you what she or any one in her family looks like either...
