Interesting submitted by emroon on July 20, 2023, 2:59pm Learned a lot about Detroit history I did not know. Since the perception and story of Detroit changed so much after it became "the Motor City" I feel like I know less, and there is less cultural connection to the founding of Detroit, or the past before the 20th century. This had some really interesting stories about that time.

Not the usual stories! submitted by kath on August 17, 2023, 8:03am Interesting stories about early Detroit history. I found out a great deal about the men responsible for many of the major street names - Woodward!
