When I find a job, I'm coming back. I interviewed for one back in July at a place in Ferndale. In chit-chatting with the lady at the desk she was telling me that there are lots of great places to live. Ferndale, Sterling Heights, Utica... When I told her about the great deals available in the city she looked like I spoke to her in Klingon.

I'm a city boy. I moved to NYC 10 years ago to go to school & get the experience of living in a world-class city. I think it's difficult to see many of the problems Detroit has when all you know is the city & its suburbs. It's good to get away & see other things, but I still long to come home to Detroit. Detroit, for all its flaws, has more potential than anywhere else I know.
