What’s on my mind? Well, I’m reflecting on the wonderful time I’ve had in Detroit for the last week. The city life, the beautiful city views, the friendly people of Detroit, friends and co-workers.
For those of you that are appalled that I have worked in downtown Detroit or choose to walk the streets of Detroit at night (or even during the day) by myself, I challenge you to give this great city a chance. Whether you go to a Tigers or Lions game (for example), you walk Campus Martius or choose a phenomenal restaurant, I encourage you to step out of your box and give this great city a chance. Too often I hear the dismay in peoples voices that I work/worked in downtown Detroit and learn that they haven’t been here in 20 years…I only ask that you take a weekend and discover all there is to do in Detroit. I will give you suggestions or refer you to people that still experience this great city on a day to day basis.
I’m not asking or looking for negative or close minded comments or opinions. I’m asking for people to give this amazing city a chance. You will not regret it. If you do, you are not looking in the right spots… I promise you that.
I love this city and miss it more and more each time I am back for work.
