Lighting up: Detroit Tigers owner and pizza baron Thomas Monaghan will get to put up his $800,000 Christmas light display at Domino’s headquarters after all. Ann Arbor Township in Michigan had refused to issue a permit for the lights, but a judge this week ruled that officials failed to prove the lights would cause irreparable harm.

District Court in Cheyenne, Wyo., he claimed his family was given the land between the 40th and 48th north latitudes from ocean to ocean. The 48th parallel is about at the Canadian border; the 40th parallel stretches roughly from Eureka, Calif., to New York City.
