Is this the place for introductions?
Hello.
My name is Bill. I live in Northern Utah and haven't really spent more than a week outside the state, except for an extended trip to Alabama, where I didn't see much of anything either.
I found this board while searching for information on Detroit neighborhoods, and I hoping to be able to stick around and ask some questions.
I write detective stories. My main character is a sort of hard-boiled type that I based on the old radio programs of the late 40's and early 50's. As part of his back story, I had him grow up in Detroit before moving away. He talks about his time there now and then, and that's where I run into a problem. Everything I know about the city I've learned from the news and the TV shoe Detroit 1-8-7 which didn't last long.
If it wouldn't be causing trouble, I'd really like some help from those who know, and love, the city to give him a better past. It's a series, and I'm reaching the point where being vague isn't going to work for me.
Assuming it's cool, where is the best place to post the questions?
