This month was an introduction to many new places and spaces. With the sun being a more frequent visitor in Detroit, it’s allowed for some welcomed impromptu exploring. I recently purchased a bike and am anxious to utilize this fun accessory this spring. April has been more relaxing than anticipated but also was a great month for personal discovery while living in the city. Lots still to do though – let’s not get it twisted.
