Census Bureau: Detroit has gained 11,000 residents over the last two years, representing the largest numeric increase in Michigan. The city has now grown by >1% since the 2020 count. Just incredible news, especially considering the situation 10-15 years ago.

I hopped on the train from Chicago back home to Michigan. I break down why I’m focused on the idea that we should speed up trains between Chicago and Detroit, and Detroit to Toronto! In Michigan we love our cars and driving, but taking the train is a great way to travel, and we can make it better.

Crazy how the 2024 election was just America deciding to give up on doing anything good
The world keeps going electric and the United States is going the other way.

I hope @CityofDetroit learns from its experience with Olympia & District Detroit. Instead of giving Bedrock funds to build the main feature then hope for a decade that they build on the parking lots, get them to build the neighborhood first as a sign of good faith...

Response to the new streetscape from Greektown visitors has been overwhelmingly positive. Every business along Block 500 expressed an interest in keeping it vehicle-free permanently. buff.ly/OcwH6QQ

Philadelphia losing its natural history museum feels like part of a larger trend: the city steadily slipping out of the tier 2 bracket (Boston, DC, Chicago) and into a peer group with Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.
Final moments before the Academy of Natural Sciences Museum in Philadelphia closes for good after 150 years at this location. Sad☹️
