Manufacturing in the Motor City

They're young. They've got geek chic. They make cool things. And they live in Detroit. It's City Bird.

Thanks for the link, Gordie! What unique items they have. I think I'm going to get the "Mitten" necklace and some pins for a friend who hails from Chicago. The Detroit map lamp is so cool, too!

Thanks for commenting. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
