Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
According to this site, some interesting things have happened in Detroit in the month of May.
- May 5, 1701 marked the first time Europeans married in Detroit. (Well, I married a European.)
- The first Little Caesars opened on May 8, 1959 in Garden City. (I love pizza!)
- King Louis XIV gave permission to lease farms in the Detroit area on May 14, 1728. (Urban farms could help build the new Detroit.)
That is all.
