Keith A. Owens"Detroit Stories is our attempt to expose both the beauty and the horror, the white hot friction of their coexistence that gave birth to an idea that some have mistaken for an illusion."Cornelius Fortune"Today, it's hip to reference Detroit because of this apparent resurgence everyone's talking about. Fair enough. With all this national attention, other outlets are telling our stories: outsiders looking in. But Detroiters - and those native to the city - are the voices really qualified to tell the tale. It's a view from the inside, from the idea factory, unfiltered. The cross-pollination of blue/white/collar/industrialization/technological wonder. It's chili fry grease on the paper bag. Westside and eastside like two twin star systems derived from the same node."Dr. Robert McTyre"Detroit's story; it's hearkening to something glorious and wonderful and always ALWAYS In the process of becoming. We ARE the timeless journey of discovering and rediscovering DETROIT." -
