Detroit transplants living in Dallas
If you missed Obama’s speech last night at the DNC, you missed one of those where-were-you-when-history-happened moments.
Go ahead, watch it. I guarantee you’ll walk away feeling like you’ve just completed a 3 day health retreat that your kids bought you for your wedding anniversary and at first you were like ‘No way this is lame’, but then you got there and discovered a range of great services at your disposal and you completely vegged out and now you’re feeling a million bucks.
Then what’s the point?

And Christa thought SHE had it bad with my collection hogging up space in the basement. Check this dude out. Stick around and watch the whole thing, it’s well worth it.
I love my (little) record collection.
Monty has a new play date, and he’s no less than 10 times bigger than he is.
You better believe he still KNOWS he’s the alpha male, but I think Cooper still loves him anyway…
The Dequindre Cut is a sub-grade railroad corridor. Originally used to link commercial manufacturing in the early 19th century, The Cut was later used as a commuter rail traveling from Pontiac to the Ren Cen. In the decline of the 80’s, The Cut was tagged by graffiti artists and home to the homeless. Now the one mile stretch from the Riverwalk to Eastern Market is being revitalized for bikes, pedestrians, and (some key words here) future mass transit.
My dream INCHED closer to reality back in April with the release of a study trumpeting light rail transit as the best regional transit option for the Woodward corridor.
An intensive 18-month technical review that is following guidelines established by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts Program concludes a light rail line along eight miles on Woodward Avenue from Downtown to the Michigan State Fairgrounds near Eight Mile Road is the best alternative to build the starter line for a regional rapid transit system in the Detroit area.

Someday, we could hop a train down the block from our house to hit up a ball game or a night on the town. Someday…

And for those of you who I know are going to ask, Matt, where’s your new car?
I’M BUYING A BIKE.
I was introduced to Chromeo yesterday by one of my daily reads on the internet circuit, and I can’t get this song out of my head.
It’s a jam of epic proportions complete with kitchy 80’s funk-electro synth & basslines and geek-chic frontmen. Also major bonus points for the Dire Straits throwback on the video.
I dare you to turn it up and not bob your head. Try me.
