Good job. I love the motor city and hopefully they manage to do something good.

I sure like to hear something good about Detroit once in a while. I lived there for a few years, and it couldn't possibly have sucked more.

People like this are the solution.

Wait a minute is that an American planting food. Oh no she didn't......I thought we only let people who are here illegally do this kind of work!!!!!

Really, bravo young lady there is no shame in getting your nails dirty.

No shame at all. The food is much better than what you get at the supermarket-and cheaper.
