The reason I decided to blog was because I enjoy reading about city life. My coast to coast staples are Cupcakes and Cashmere and Cup of Jo. I waited years to find similar blogs pop up locally and when it didn’t happen I decided to do it myself. Since then I’ve found some great Detroit … More Detroit Bloggers
The day I decided to start blogging with a purpose we met Kristin and Paul for dinner at the Mercury Bar. I didn’t really have a plan and the post reads like a Yelp review (albeit I don’t hate the food picture). Since I didn’t have great photography and my blogging format changed, I opted … More The Mercury Bar
It’s always interesting to see what blog post end up being popular. It often seems random and the posts I’m most excited for don’t get a lot of traffic or posts I feel could have been done better get lots of hits.

This time last year I decided to convert my personal blog into a public Detroit blog. It’s been an interesting and exciting and to celebrate I wanted to look back at some of the things I did in those early weeks. One of my first interviews was with Chloe Sabatier of Chez Chloe. Danny … More Chez Chloe Follow-Up
I learned something funny about myself last week, I don’t own modern movies. Kat came over for movie night and it was perfect. She brought When Harry Met Sally and I loved it! I’d never seen it before but now I will count it as a top movie choice. When it was time for movie … More Happy Friday!
I’m lucky that Danny has stepped up on the cooking front around here. My new schedule is definitely requiring adjustment and I don’t have the energy to do much cooking these days. Thankfully, Danny is a great cook. When he’s feeling inspired, he’s better than I am because he is meticulous about following directions and … More March Meals
Last year Danny and I previewed Gold Cash Gold on the Corktown walking tour and were even able to talk with chef Josh Stockton in his apartment. I’ve been anxious to check it out ever since and this weekend we finally got our chance. We hit the town with Gina and Garrett Saturday night and … More Gold Cash Gold
I have countless memories at Our Lady of Sorrows from when I was a kid, I honestly remember events at church more clearly than most things in my life.

Detroit is on the rise and it’s fantastic, unless you want to grab a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Then you think longingly back to the days when not so many people thought the city was as cool as you do. Over the weekend Danny and I were downtown and decided to go to … More Sweetwater Tavern
