Maybe you’ve heard about the city of Detroit. Maybe you’ve seen photographs of its abandoned buildings and empty fields. Or you might have read about its crime rate and dwindling population. You might think of Detroit as a symbol of a once great American city in decline. But then you don’t really know Detroit.

Detroit is about the people who live there and who come there for a chance to create something new and play by their own set of rules. It’s a place where creativity is welcomed, industriousness is encouraged, and the D.I.Y. mentality is a must. It’s because of this that businesses are growing in Detroit; businesses that might just change the country the same way the cars that gave Detroit the nickname Motor City once did.
