Who knew?
When most people think of my home town of Detroit, Michigan, the first thing they think about is crime. I have to admit, the city does have a reputation. Last summer, however, I was able to see the city through another pair of eyes. My daughter, normally away at school, was home for the summer. She urged me to attend free outdoor events with her at the New Center Park. To put this into context, you have to know that I worked in the New Center Area, less than half a block away from the park, and had not yet attended any of the events. Sad, I know. It took the adventurous spirit of my 20 year old-hey, it's free-let's go before I leave the country-daughter to convince me to give it a try.
We attended a latin music concert, and discovered a fun, multi-cultural gem right there in the heart of Detroit. We watched people of various ethnicities and all ages singing, clapping and dancing under the stars. We ate food, sang along, and marveled at this cosmopolitan offering in our own back yard.
