Used to do Jalopnik Detroit when that was a thing. Now just kinda here and there.

I bailed!

He is staying in Harlem. My relatives saw him on 125th street 2 weeks ago & know him personally. Spoke to him, he was on his way to meet with Rev Al Sharpton. No photos either, sadly. But he is staying up there possibly with Don Lemon Read more

Hopefuly a hipster millenial will buy it. Then Jalopnik will have an excuse to run yet another post aboout hipster millenials. Read more

By the way, I am a huge fan of Aaron's writing. He does a great job of writing about Detroit in an objective way. Detroit needs more people like Foley and less like Rochelle Riley. Keep up the good work, sir. Read more

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what's going in Detroit. I moved away years ago, but this is very interesting indeed. At the least it'll make an interesting campaign season. When will the Detroit Emergency Manager be done? Is there a termination date? Read more

wow. so when i moved out and got my own identity, i could have used my moms address in nice suburban socal instead of my current ghettoized address? Read more

Thanks for your reports Aaron. I really enjoy them and appreciate your take. Read more

The best thing the hipster can do is just Shut Up. Read more
