The Detroit metro area is rife with Signs with Character. I need to do a whole book, but here’s just a sampling.

8 coneys with everything

Where can you tromp through the snow, past a boarded-up building or two, downtown in a major American metropolis, and climb into your choice of early-morning, late-night, semi-dives serving the famed Coney Island? New York? No, Detroit, of course!
What is a Coney? It’s a chili dog. And a source of regional pride and oneupmanship. And it’s hot and cheap and you can get it with fries. While you’re at it, have a swig of local fave (and America’s Oldest Soft Drink), Vernor’s.
Did we mention this was the only time we let Nicki out of the trunk on our wee outing that day? I hope the fries were worth it.

Last Chicago hurrahs

The running photos did not end with the wearing of the winter hat, my friends. I even upgraded from my phone to a wee gem of a camera that I can carry while running and take real pictures. We’ve only just begun. And, as is my wont, I coerced my friends into running with me and submitting to photographs as well. I only hope Detroit brings as many running adventures!

![]() The latent spy in me comes out, peering at people in lighted windows. They peer back at the chick in the alley with the tripod. |
![]() ![]() A view from my rooftop. ISO 800, f25, 24 seconds. Such a long exposure had a few serious spots of noise – big red dots that I cleaned up in photoshop, but for the most part it came out like this. Color corrected a bit, to capture the blue/green of the condo light. |
