Detroit Ahoy!

we're going to detroit today because I've been hearing some strange and interesting things about it. I read an article in Harper's Magazine that was talking about how this city is becoming the first "post-american" city and how it's getting turned inside out with people developing their own sorts of farms within city limits, while the suburbs continue to incorporate into each other and distance themselves from the center city. Apparently some places in the city are nice set up in the fancy downtown way that has become so popular lately, but so much of the rest of the city will have brand new condos, which might be next to a completely abandoned block, or a block with a couple houses and rows of organic staple crops. Strange.
