adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Love: My City & Me] DETROIT (what!) by Lindsey S.

My Detroit isn’t just some hook of an Eminem song.
It is more than 8 miles long.
It rocks and it rolls.
It plays Don’t Stop Believin’ at far too many sports games.
It has amazing parks and lakes and people. I wish you could meet the people.
They are hopeful and strong.
They will rebuild, even if with their own 2 hands, and those hands alone.
It is home to an auto industry - searching for a renewed relevance, stuck in a junkyard of poor decisions and debt.
Where it will find it’s new place in this hybrid world… and if and win and how…we do not know.
But we have not given up.
There have been jobs lost.
There have been homes repossessed.
But we are brave. And proud. And strong.
And we will never stop believin’…we will hold on to that feeling.
….You know, the one that tells us that the city, our city, that we love, will once again be a haven of hope… (that goes on and on and on and on…)

Send me your city story.
