Detroit People 2015
To paraphrase an old saying, a city’s true wealth is its people. By that degree, metro Detroit is rich beyond measure. It’s said that people don’t shrug their shoulders about Detroit. If true, it’s partly due to the bold character of the people who live in this sprawling metropolitan region. It’s filled with a self-selecting…

The Spirit: Olayami Dabls
When you visit MBAD’s African Bead Museum, housed in a century old-corner row house just Grand River Avenue near the intersection of Vinewood Street, you’re greeted by a tall, imposing, handsome dude.

The Tinkerer: Andy Didorosi
It’s no secret that Detroit’s public transportation system is abysmal. From his office’s vantage point off the Conant Street route, Andy Didorosi says he sees a city bus every hour — on good days.

The Soda Jerk: Derek John
It’s hard to categorize Derek John. He runs a small gallery in Ferndale, co-owns a soda company, and runs a lawn-cutting business. He’s also something of a local musician. He’s busy.. “I feel like Jimmy McGill from Better Call Saul, a real Johnny Hustle,” he says. “Between the gallery, Mary Ann’s Soda, and landscaping, it’s…
Hot Sam’s has been a fashionable fixture in Detroit for years

The House Music Maven: Troy Ramroop
When asked what he studied in college, Troy Ramroop doesn’t give the answer you might expect given his current job.

And since then, like many of us,…

The Queen of Threads: Karen Buscemi
Many know Karen Buscemi as the editor of StyleLine. The Detroit-based fashion magazine was once the biggest in the state, but after six years in production, the glossy folded in October 2014.

Notes on Charlie LeDuff, the Cass Corridor, Detroit’s water war, and more
LeDuff’d Reader Jack Poma sent us this letter, complimenting Lee DeVito’s recent cover story on Fox reporter Charlie LeDuff. I was impressed by Lee DeVito’s piece on Fox’s Charlie LeDuff. DeVito articulately paints the picture of a “reporter/journalist” whose various personalities are often in complete conflict with each other. He totally nailed my own thoughts…
The Elder: Albert Barrow
Some might think Albert “Big Pete” Barrow sounds a little gruff, but it’s just his no-nonsense manner. Speaking with us in his northeast Detroit home, he talks directly, in a tone he’s earned with his 72 years in the city while working as hard as any other man. At this stage in his life, he’s…

Politics and Prejudices: The politics of sex

The Shopkeepers: Andy and Emily Linn
The block in Midtown where brother-and-sister team Andy and Emily Linn run a pair of lifestyle boutiques looks dramatically different than it did six years ago.

At 75, Ron Gurdjian isn’t just a bartender. He’s a steward of history.

Several nights a week, he sets up behind the…

Susan Aaron-Taylor exhibits as one of three solo shows at N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art
Artist Susan Aaron-Taylor describes the way she creates her fanciful creatures as a sort of alchemy. It starts with a process called felting.

The Brewer: John Linardos
John Linardos, 47, honcho at Motor City Brewing Works, is hanging out in the green alley behind his taproom. It’s hard to believe this is where he started his rough-and-tumble brewing operation back in 1994. “This is where Johns would score,” he says. “That lot right there between the green garage and that building, cars…
Detroit Opera House opens Sky Deck
Two years ago the Detroit Opera House opened their rooftop patio for public use during baseball games.

It’s casual enough to enjoy during a Detroit Tigers game, but…
The People’s Chef: James Rigato
James Rigato is wearing a shirt and tie now, but he jokes that tonight will be the first time he’s worn a suit in two years.

The Jazz Disciple: Leonard King
Dr. Professor Leonard King Jr. laughs easily and has no problem talking your ear off, especially if you’re genuinely interested in what he has to say.

Eight things you need to know about metro Detroit dining this week
Take it outside — Last week, the concrete was barely dry and a pile of patio furniture was all ready to go. Now, the patio at Zeke’s Rock and Roll BBQ should be ready to go, weather permitting. It’s all screened off by hip-high wooden fencing, a little nook of tables under red and white…
The People’s Advocate: Rashida Tlaib
Rashida Tlaib has a direct reply when asked why she loves the city of Detroit. “I’m so much of a proud Detroiter,” she says. “My god, do we have some of the most amazing people. You won’t find stories like ours. You almost feel like, if there’s ever a need to tell an American story,…
The Camp Director: Joe Bailey
Once widely known as “Fabulous Ferndale,” what was one of the few visible gayborhoods in the region has now become, well, kind of straight. That’s not to say Ferndale has become homophobic — plenty of rainbow flags still adorn storefronts — but a downtown that used to be prominently dotted with gay bars, clubs, and…
Fuzz Fest II delivers a mighty dose of Michigan rock
In a time when Kid Rock has realized he shouldn’t ask for more than 20 bucks for a ticket to his show, Jack White would rather partner with a watchmaker than pick up an electric guitar in his old hometown, and one of Detroit’s most beloved garage/punk stages, the Magic Stick, has been converted into…
The Athlete: Zeke Harris
Zeke Harris has been playing soccer for nearly two decades and he isn’t yet 25. He was playing for his college team when Detroit City Football Club contacted him four years ago, just as it was turning from a casual neighborhood team to a semi-professional one. He’s watched the team’s popularity grow, earning them a…
The Optimist: Brent Petrone
When it was built in in 1917, Detroit’s Southeastern High School was located in a recently annexed rural part of town — hence the name for its sports teams, “The Jungaleers.” Nearly 100 years later, the school still operates in the fringes, so to speak: In 2012, it was one of 15 taken over by…
The Unexpected Politician: Raquel Castañeda-López
It took a cavalry of supporters to convince Southwest Detroit native Raquel Castañeda-López to run for Detroit City Council. Worst-case scenario, she thought, was saying “yes” but then failing to receive enough signatures to land on the ballot (she needed 300 in one week). That didn’t turn out to be a problem — supporters came…
The Commentator: Aaron Foley
Over the last few years, Detroit native Aaron Foley has made a name for himself as a well-regarded, insightful commentator on the city. But if you ask him what growing up in the hardscrabble city was like, the 30-year-old says he has nothing extreme to share, like stories other residents may have. “It was pretty…
The Keeper of the Printed Word: Maia Asshaq
If we told you Ditto Ditto is a small, cozy bookshop, you might still not be prepared for just how small and cozy it is.

The Activist and Baker: Ann Perrault
Ann Perrault’s life has been full of baked goods from the start. She grew up in a large family of 12 and her mother owned a pie business. “My mom’s probably the best baker I know,” the 55-year-old says. Perrault was raised in Grosse Ille and Inkster before relocating to Detroit when she turned 19…
The Garbage Picker: Matthew Naimi
Sometimes it can be hard to take Matthew Naimi seriously — this is the same guy who tried to convince Detroit that it was actually he who painted the infamous Packard Plant Banksy. So when he speaks of his plans for the shipping container-turned classroom that serves as the location for our interview, it’s hard…
How Kassem Fardoun chose Detroit for his hip falafel shop
Kassem Fardoun isn’t your typical Lebanese-American restaurateur. The 35-year-old Fordson High School graduate (Class of 1998) lives in west Dearborn, in lofts above the Buffalo Wild Wings on Michigan Avenue. When he’s not working at his Midtown eatery, Falafill, he’s out playing soccer or watching it. He listens to reggae every morning, and, when we…
The Educator and Food Activist: Malik Yakini
As Malik Yakini will tell you, many describe him as a “food activist,” but his work as executive director and co-founder of the nonprofit Detroit Black Community Food Security Network should be viewed in a larger context. There are several reasons for his interest in agriculture, which is “part of what I do and part…
The Boundary Pusher: Shigeto
Zachary “Shigeto” Saginaw grew up in Ann Arbor. The 32-year-old is soft-spoken and polite. He’s also a monster musician; you have to see him perform if you’ve not.

The Industrialist: Zak Pashak
Detroit Bikes’ factory is located in a stretch of town that is neither hip nor trendy. It’s an industrial area, with no fancy signs and no fanfare — you can tell people actually make things here. And they do indeed. As Zak Pashak guides us through his factory, we pass workers at every step of…
Ask a Juggalo: Do Juggalos have a problem with the educational system?
Q: Do Juggalos have a problem with the educational system? A: Well, absolutely not, man. Juggalos and juggalettes are educated. We can read, we can write — things are all good on that level. But, obviously I have a few T-shirts from back in the day that I would wear in high school, and I…
