Ridin’ Detroit

When traveling, one of may favorite things to do is to bike an area. I’ve seen several places on two self-propelled wheels. Vancouver’s Stanley Park & Granville Island, Ontario’s Pelee Island, Michigan’s Mackinac Island, St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands and now, closer to home, Detroit’s Dequindre Cut. I highly recommend all the tours [...]

Window to the World

Media has always been the window to the world for those of us who don’t get to see it ourselves. Personally, I’ve always believed that it’s best to “see for yourself,” especially when it comes to opinions of others. I listen, file the information, and wait to make my final interpretations when I see the [...]

Better Than Reality TV: I LOVE These Guys! Chevy SXSW

I am so not a reality tv buff, but I think the Chevy Challenge should be a made-for-tv reality show. The concept is brilliant. Yay Chevy! Take four community and social media active people from 9 locations across the USA. Give them a Chevy to drive from their home city to the South by Southwest [...]

Welcome to the USA

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was told to be at the courthouse on W Lafayette street in downtown Detroit. I was actually a little surprised the naturalization ceremony was in a courthouse. I’ve always associated “court” with settlements, decisions and fighting. In retrospect I should have realized that accepting citizenship to a [...]

North American International Auto Show in Detroit 01-18-09

Show me the Cup Holders! I am one of the women who takes cup holders into account when purchasing a car. I don’t care very much about how many seconds the car takes to go from 0-60, I don’t really care if it’s got a HEMI in it. I expect whatever vehicle I consider to [...]

Not My Typical Weekend

Typically on the weekend I wake up, work until noon, go for a run, bike ride, kayak or boat ride, make dinner, eat and play a little World of Warcraft. (Horde Rocks!) This weekend was different. Instead of fighting murlocks I was fighting blight. Recently I joined a networking group called Motor City Connect to [...]

Detroit on Foot: 10th Annual DAC – ULI Downtown Walking Tour

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing a new Detroit, a Detroit I didn’t know existed. I’ve lived in Michigan nearly three years and have only traveled downtown a handful of times. Each visit was enjoyable and made me appreciate the Motor City a tiny bit more than I had before the visit. Last [...]
