All is well on the tomato front . . .

Everyone asks about Detroit, in varying states of concern or interest, and the best I can say is that things are good, and I'm still figuring it out. After my chat about grad life the other day, I also drove home past the now-(in)famous Michigan Central Station, haunt of urban spelunkers -- we have friends who've been exploring inside, and it is a sort of symbol of the beautiful old architecture in Detroit that has been shockingly neglected. But as I drove home past it, having come through "Mexicantown" (seriously), I saw a bunch of people outside with their cameras. It's one thing to know about write-ups in magazines and other people's adventures, but it really did look everything like a stop on a tour, with all the pointing and shooting. Old buildings in various states of repair are aesthetically interesting, fodder for artists everywhere, but there's so much social and political history wrapped around them. And then how things are today gives one pause, again and again. I am slowly coming around to a feeling that the conversation has to also be about what matters now, where things are.
