*music for some serious Sufjan Stevens representation in this!

Also, Maker Space is friggin' awesome. My 8 year old is already pretty involved in our local chapter (for kids) and they are doing some really cool things there and he's learning a ton.

I highly recommend looking for a local Maker Space for anyone interested in learning new skills while getting a creative outlet.

Wasn't there a guy in the 3rd World who was giving out small loans to people to help build up their communities. He did a lot of good by giving very small loans to smart locals. I think that's the best way instead of big corporations coming in and destroying places. I hope Detroit comes back.

Detroit will let you co-opt entire city blocks if you make improvements as simple as cleaning the trash, razing an old building, or planting a community garden....Squatters paradise if you can protect yourself from the hoodlums.....because, the cops won't help you-
