I love the nostalgia stories and have shared many of my own.
Thought it might be fun to let people know that life goes on here in the city currently and we create new memories everyday.
Had a afternoon/dinner party yesterday. With one exception, all were Detroiters from all corners of the city. The house is old and seems to encourage or perhaps exudes warmth and fellowship.
During the course of the day, we played the piano, sang, played cards and listened to good music.
Groups shifted from the dining room, backyard and front porch. I love the large roofed front porch and in the evening sat with friends on the porch rockers exchanging stories, jokes and jibes.
Greeted neighbors walking by, watched the children play up and down the street, watched a neighbor obsessively wash his car. With city humor we figured he murdered someone.
With a third of the street, urban prairie, the dog went nuts when a possum cruised by.
Totally trite comment, but yes, Virginia, there is still life, love, fellowship, fun and goodwill in this big bad city. s
