About

I was born in 1980 to two native Detroiters.  We lived on the west side on a street called Braile before we moved a few miles west to the suburbs and pursued the standard American dream.  Though we lived as suburbanites, my family was rare as Metro Detroit suburbanites go.  Going to Detroit was considered the most interesting and most exciting family activity.  My family never abandoned a love for this city with a bad rap, and as unconventional as it may seem (though I currently live out-of-state while my husband pursues graduate school), my life goal is to return to Detroit, live there, and make a difference.

blogDetroit is an expression of my love for Detroit and a means of being in Detroit with those who love her most, even while living far away.

      Wow, that is crazy. I wonder how close we were. I did not live there very long, but it was my parents’ first home and my house for three years. I do remember living there.
