Founder of popular Detroit-area restaurant dies at 85
Sameer Eid, a well-known Metro Detroit restaurateur, died on Friday. He was 85.
Eid was the founder of Phoenicia, a popular Lebanese restaurant in Birmingham.
He earned a small town’s trust. He owed $95 million in what authorities say was a Ponzi scheme
For decades, Miles “Burt” Marshall was the man you went to see in a stretch of upstate New York if you had some money to invest but wanted to keep it local.
Working from an office in the charming village of Hamilton, down the road from Colgate University, Marshall prepared taxes and sold insurance. He also took money for what was sometimes called the “8% Fund,” which guaranteed that much in annual interest no matter what happened with the financial markets.

Weather: Sunshine and cooler temperatures to start the work week in Metro Detroit
After a dry end of the weekend with Sunshine and a little cloud cover, we will keep the dry weather into the forecast, looking ahead into the start of the week on Monday. Expect a little cloud cover to stick around in the morning before going mostly sunny into the afternoon. High temperatures remaining below average, heading into the lower 80s by Monday afternoon.
We bring a little more cloud cover into the forecast overnight tonight, and partly cloudy skies can be expected. We may see a few showers overnight, but I do think most of us will stay dry. Overnight lows dropping into the lower 50s by early Tuesday morning.
