If you’re loco for all things local, save the date Saturday, Aug. 25th. The Greening of Detroit needs your energy at its upcoming LIVE LOVE LOCAL Celebration.
Localvores are people committed to eating foods grown and produced in their own backyard. It’s a stance health-conscious young people have been adopting nationwide, and we’d love to join, but how many farms have you seen in the city of Detroit? Land that currently houses vacant lots and abandoned buildings could be our answer. With RecoveryPark, three miles of land on Detroit’s near east side will be developed into an area that could break the mold for urban agriculture.
Detroit is getting its fix, one cup of joe at a time.
Nothing against the big chains, but this aint New York City! Independent coffee shops are brewing all over the Motor City, priding themselves on serving local fare and flair. Monday marks a new addition with the opening of The Bottom Line Coffee House.
They say serving others is a reward in itself… But a free car wouldn’t hurt, either. A new promotion launched over the weekend encourages community involvement through a series of friendship-related challenges.
