Time in the D

I was interested to read Time magazine this week (October 5, 2009 edition) that featured "The Tragedy of Detroit" on its cover as well as an announcement that they decided to buy a house in the city and have some staffers live there and report from the D in order to provide fairer coverage - good and bad news alike - as stakeholders. I, too, consider myself a stakeholder.  I was born & raised in the suburbs of Detroit, went to school in the city, and the hubby & I decided early on that save for an absolute need for a move due to employment, we would plant our own family roots in this region as well.
 
I admittedly teared up clicking through the link to photos of Detroit's "beautiful, horrible decline".  But Time's cover article also mused that if Detroit is truly open to new industry and reinventing itself, it could make for a great story.  So I'm going to follow along and check out the coverage over the next year, care to join me?  www.time.com/detroit
