WHY I HATE/LOVE DETROIT




taken from an article found on Model D website

http://www.modeldmedia.com/fea tures/myths.aspx






"As for as raising kids in Detroit, I don’t have those yet, either, but I can say with hearty conviction that once I do (there’s one currently on the way), I will not leave Detroit for its suburbs. My big lesson of the past year (besides that the People Mover isn’t actually for transportation, silly): If you take the time to discover its gems, Detroit is a city rife with history, flaws, quirks, grit and irresistible charm. And it’s far more interesting than the easy-to-find answers of other, more cookie-cutter, albeit more “livable,” cities and suburbs."





this last paragraph was wonderful and answers the question of why i chose this god forsaken place as a residency, given all of the shit associated with it. It is also testament to the mentality around here about city living.
