Q: What is something you love about where you live?

A: My favorite part about living in Detroit is how uniquely wonderful the city environment is. I live next to a lot where I keep my garden and serves as a space for my dog ,Nelson, to play. I have porch that is lovely for drinks with neighbors in the summer. Finally I can also have the downtown big city experience with just a 5 minute drive. Detroit is everything.
