Whether you live in Detroit already, are thinking about moving to Detroit, live in Southeast Michigan or you're just curious to learn more about the Motor City, you should read Aaron Foley's first book. "How to Live in Detroit Without Being a Jackass" is much more than just a guidebook to the largest city in Michigan. It's also a deeply personal memoir from an articulate young man that was born and raised in the city and continues to live there now. Aaron provides historical context for Detroit's decade's long decline toward its eventual bankruptcy and recent resurgence
This book is about so much more than just where to live, eat and work. The heart of every community is the people that live there – in the good times and the bad. Detroit is a 300 year old city. From the peak to the trough and back up again, there have been people living in Detroit. The newcomers to the city aren't saviors or colonists. They need to coexist with the people that never left to help make Detroit a better place.
This book is a great starting point for everyone that wants to be a part of the process.
