Tonight on One Detroit:

JOHN DINGELL: Former Michigan Congressman John Dingell sits down for a one-on-one conversation with Nolan about politics, history, and his legacy — just as his new book, “The Dean: The Best Seat in the House,” is released.
POLETOWN PLANT: As the future of GM’s Poletown Plant remains uncertain, One Detroit looks back at the controversial history of the plant, through the eyes of a filmmaker who documented the fallout from the plant’s creation.
STATE OF THE REGION: The Detroit Regional Chamber releases its annual State of the Region report, and the One Detroit team discusses the findings on jobs, income and investment in the region.
