Jammin' at the Junction: Roseville car show draws over 100 rides

ROSEVILLE. More than 100 car owners lined Utica Road for the Roseville Downtown Development Authority's Jammin' at the Junction car show July 18, despite summer heat and lingering air quality concerns across the state. The road closed between Gratiot Avenue and 12 Mile Road for the day. Organizer Eric Lafata of Lafata Auto Body Shop moved the show from its usual September date to July to avoid conflicting with other shows.
