Detroit's Eastern Market's annual
Flower Day
it's going to take to make this city hum
again.
The reality is I'm living my life here
with great friends, interesting people,
amazing ideas. Detroit attracts a lot
of people from around the world
wanting to test ideas, businesses, art,
urban theories, community concepts
and more. And I'm enjoying the new
wave of young people moving into my
east-side community with its great
brick houses just 15 minutes from
Downtown for a song!
What is the future for
Detroit? Detroit has the potential

of becoming a city of the future
if we, including the communities,
businesses, universities, nonprofits
and religious organizations, can get
behind a strong plan and elect strong
leadership.
We've got a lot of vacant land
right near the city center and
beyond. What are our priorities and
opportunities for this space?
We have an inventive plan, a
strategic framework the Kresge
Foundation put together over a two-
year period with input from people
from all walks of life around Metro
Detroit. We helped plan everything
from bike routes to art parks to
neighborhood business districts.
Then Kresge targeted $150 million
over five years to put these ideas in
motion.
Will I stay here? I grew up in
Chicago and lived in Berkeley,
Calif., and Portland, Ore., and have
no desire to go back. But there are
other amazing cities in the world. Or
I'll look into supporting a cool new
living space in Detroit for seniors,
families and others to live, and for
some of us, to grow old gracefully,
and still be in the middle of activity
and great ideas.
