Bombing Detroit & Other Stories
/Spring brings renewal and growth, right? Well, I’ve found a few fabulous Detroit stories and events that have sprung up on the web and I just had to share them with you. Enjoy!
- Bomb Detroit! from Sweet Juniper! - Jim Griffioen is beautifying Detroit by tossing wildflower seed bombs on some unsightly areas of the city. I love this!
- A Brit in Detroit Has No Requiem - My husband, Andy Davis, wrote this amazing post as a response to the BBC documentary "Requiem for Detroit." To say that I'm proud is an understatement. It should be noted that I had nothing to do with this and didn't even realize what he was doing when he said he was writing a blog post.
- Detroit Tigers Opening Day - Nikki Stephan explores how different people celebrate and prepare for our favorite unofficial spring holiday. It's only a few days away!
- Where I live: All aboard for Thomas the Tank Engine's annual visit to Michigan's Greenfield Village - I'm not a parent but I'm sure all those of you who are will want to mark these dates in your calendar. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it my husband may want to visit with Thomas!
- Spring Comes to Belle Isle - I've spent a lot of time on Belle Isle but most of it has been in the winter staring at a certain Ice Tree. So, it was a wonderful change to see these photos of the first blooms on our island park.
- Scions of Detroit Families Share Hockey Passion - The N.C.A.A. Frozen Four takes place at Ford Field this weekend. The co-chairmen of the event, William Clay Ford Jr. and Christopher Illitch, talk about their love of hockey.
- A Tour of Detroit - Oh, and I wrote this guest post over at Icrontic.com. It's an overview of some of my favorite places in Detroit.
