Well, here we are, the last day of a full year of making these posts. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year, but the older I get, the faster the time seems to go. Since I started this site by featuring artists with connections to Detroit for the first week of posts, I figured I’d end the year in a similar fashion. It doesn’t hurt either that I’m currently planning a two-week excursion back to my home state in the fall, putting the area at the forefront of my mind right now.
