Real Detroit Weekly (often called just Real Detroit) was a weekly newspaper distributed free of charge every Wednesday from 1999 to 2014, that focused mainly on entertainment news from metro Detroit. It had a proportion of advertisements similar to the Metro Times (and some of the same advertisers). Both publications were usually available at the same establishments. In May 2014, the two papers merged.[1]
Real Detroit was a cornerstone for local music and arts. Their collection of unique writers worked hard to keep that fact shining high. For most bands between 1999-2004, Real Detroit was their first or pivotal piece of press.
