I'm a bit exhausted today from TEDxDetroit so my mind isn't functioning properly and I can't be all witty and such. Not that I usually am.
All I'm going to say is that there are so many cool things to do in Detroit that you could never get bored.
Oh, and I found this quote that I liked from SPIN Underground USA, 1997. I'd love to read the context from which it came but couldn't find anything in the Google machine.
When people talk about Detroit, what they really mean is anything east of Ann Arbor...
