Why I Love Detroit ~ a link-up post

              

This is my first link-up with other bloggers and I am super excited about it! I was told to write about why I love Detroit so here it goes. Since I love lists, this post will be a point by point list of reasons.

• Detroit is in the great state of Michigan! 
• Probably the most simple reason is I live here. I mean, people generally like wherever it is they live right? 
• It's super fun to have the bridge to Canada. I've been to a foreign country ;)
• The Detroit Tigers!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally obsessed with the Tigers and am so proud to live in a city with such a great baseball team. And I hear our hockey team is pretty fantastic too. 
• Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company.
• Home of Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. People come from all over the U.S and Canada to visit. 
• Hines Drive parks. Seriously, Hines has two of my favorite parks (read "playgrounds") I've ever been to. Really cool equipment.  
• Downtown Northville - this is obviously not in "Detroit" but it is in the Metro-Detroit Area and I could literally spend all day here. Cute little shops with everything you could imagine and cute little restaurants. I love The Next Chapter, which is a bookstore and cafe. If you love scrapbooking, go to The Stamp Peddler. If you are in the area and have time, go check out Downtown Northville. 

What's really funny though, is how you get complacent when it's just "where you live". This has been really fun and made me really take a look at why I love living here. Now I'm inspired to post about why I love my state, so check back soon! Thanks for reading.
