How are ya? Welcome to Detroit.

Detroit has always been a city that has very interesting social dynamics to me, especially when encountering issues of race and ethnicity. To be honest, I don't know much about the daily goings-on of the city, or very much about what goes on in Michigan at all for that matter, which makes this blog that much more fascinating to me. I first became intrigued by Detroit after hearing about the race riots in the 1960s and from then on I have wanted to learn more about it. Never having been there, I think it is going to be really cool to become immersed in a place I know basically nothing about, really giving me the opportunity to act like a sociologist and study group interaction from an outside perspective.
