I don't know how many of you find your way over to detroitblog but he has done a lot of good work spotlighting small businesses in Detroit this summer. I don't see why something like it can't find a weekly home in the News or Freep. These are the kind of businesses and people that get lost in the shuffle because everyone cares too much about selling half a million dollar downtown lofts. |

I agree. We need to celebrate the small businesses in Detroit. Just like the neighborhoods, small businesses need to succeed to truly realize a Detroit Rising. |

More kudos for the Detroitblog. I'm hope to eventually shop at all these unique blog gems. So far Joe has cut my hair. I still need to buy some of Minnie’s Cakes. |

Meanwhile, now that you mention it, it seams that Detroitblog is part of the MetroTimes "best of Detroit" editorial this year. http://www.metrotimes.com/edit orial/story.asp?id=11941 |

The article in Metro Times is good, but it's missing something without his cool color photographs. |
