1. There's a new market coming to the southeast side, hoping to bridge access to healthy and affordable food. It's called Southeast Market.
The owners say it's more like a food hub located on Kalamazoo Avenue, sourcing produce, dairy, meat, and other goods from right here in Michigan. This is especially true for people of color and women-owned businesses.
The store also has a pay-it-forward program, so there's an opportunity to help others while you shop.
Right now they're only open for curbside pickup.

4. You could soon pour soda at a restaurant using touchless technology. Coca-Cola Freestyle Machines use a touchscreen right now, but the company is working with Amazon Web Services to create a mobile pour solution so people can operate the machine with a phone.
There's no app, just scan the QR code, select a drink, and hold the pour option.
More than 30,000 machines have the technology already. All of them in the U.S. will have this feature by the end of the year.
