My daughter loves living in Detroit, which is the city I was born in. Her partner bought one of the old Detroit mini-mansions in a formerly regal neighborhood and is fixing it up. They are both artists and when I visit, we go to all the art galleries on art Thursday. Detroit has a very large and lively art scene. Enjoy.

I was a family collector when my kids were teens, including some of their friends and a cousin who were in less than healthy home environments. At one point, my household consisted of eleven children, teens, and adults. I wouldn't have had it any other way. So enjoy that too! As a society, we don't do anything for teens living with abusive or alcoholic or druggie parents, when all they want is a sane, welcoming home.

Thanks. I'm not exaggerating even a little. in fact I left a lot out: the loud racism to "funny lookin'" neighbors, the loud arguments at 3:00AM, etc.
