Ulysses S. Grant lived in Detroit for a while before the Civil War. This summer, the old structure he called home may be moved to a different part of Detroit.Current State's Scott Pohl recently visited the home where a former President of the United States once lived. Jack Dempsey, President of the Michigan Historical Commission, says it wouldn’t be the first time the former home of President Grant has been moved.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
