T. Burton wrote the marvelous book, Home in Detroit, about the childhood homes of many famous people who were born or lived in Detroit. Ben Carson was not included. Dr. Carson graduated from Southwestern High School before he matriculated at Yale. Does anyone know where he lived while he grew up here in Detroit? Detroit has something of a history with Republican candidates for president. Grant and the first Bush lived in or near the city. The last Republican nominee was from Palmer Woods and Tom Dewey grew up nearby. But it is difficult to imagine that the Republicans will nominate Dr. Carson in 2016.
