The shout from Assignment Detroit journalist Karen Dybis is for a CCS student who launched the clever Bought in Detroit site last month.
Its only purpose is to provide an online space where people can post pictures of things they purchased in the D.

“The idea behind the site is to raise awareness for local businesses and show the variety of things available IN the city,” Farhat said.

. . . There's the genius of the site. Suddenly, I feel the urge to go shopping in Detroit. And that is a surprisingly interesting feeling for this [[now) suburbanite.

. . . The site also is great because it is a collaboration among its users. They are creating the site, bit by bit.
