Crystal....great listening to you. I am from Michigan, now living in Corvallis. Your description of Detroit is making me home sick. I grew up in the Northern Suburbs, but my mother grew up in Detroit and has shared with us what a great place it was. (I did see Santa once at the downtown Hudsons.) I can very much relate to the connection you feel to the people and the comfort you feel when your plane lands at DTW. Of course my heart breaks too...to see the poverty and need of the city.

Thank you.
