Growing up (about 600 miles north of Detroit), Memorial Day Weekend meant putting the boats in the water and barbequing. Living in Detroit, Memorial Day still means spending the weekend on the water and eating outside! I’ve been coming to Movement since it was a free festival, and over the years it has only gotten better! Especially since my Downtown…
Your Mom was way ahead of the curve...she's always been an ‘influencer.’ Literally. She made you who you are today. :) So show her how much you appreciate all she has done for you and ‘follow’ her on an Insta-worthy celebration of your love for her! Start the day with #NoFilter Flowers from Blumz Detroit! Located just across the street…
I celebrated Cinco de Mayo long before I moved to Downtown Detroit—fine, I celebrated it before I was 21—but as I prepare for the festivities this weekend, I’m struck by the similarities between my luxury loft and Don Julio González. Yes. That Don Julio, the founder of Don Julio Tequila. Don Julio had a vision when he began distilling his…
I moved to Downtown Detroit before the city began its recent resurgence. But The Lofts of Merchants Row had a vision of my building restored to its original beauty, and they created—and keep up—the luxury lofts I live in. They understand the importance of appearances, and that value is more than surface deep. From the day I moved in, I…
I know you've heard “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” And this is generally followed by some advice for how to simply consume calories in the morning to get your metabolism going. The Hudson Café holds true to the saying and the importance of breakfast, but they follow it up with anything-but-simple dishes that get your day…
One perk of living in a Downtown Detroit luxury loft is that you don’t have to plan ahead to have fun. On any given day, there’s a concert, a play, a new eatery, or (one of your many) favorite bar(s) offering extended Happy Hours. It’s ALL always ‘happening’ Downtown. And on any given Sunday, I also know where I’ll be.…
For the second year in a row, my Downtown Detroit Luxury Loft is holding March Madness Bracket Competition for me and my neighbors—which, along with a little friendly competition, is a great way to make new friends in the building! Alright. As far as I’m concerned, ‘friendly competition’ is an oxymoron. If it involves a score or a time, and…
There are more mouth-watering eateries in walking distance of my Downtown Detroit Loft than I can count, but this Thursday my Luxury Loft’s Leasing Office is treating me to a truly mouth-watering (and eye-watering) outing: our Annual Blazin’ Wings Challenge. Every month, my neighbors and I get invited to an event hosted by my Downtown Luxury Loft Leasing Office—it’s a…
One of my favorite parts living in Downtown Detroit loft is that when friends come to visit, I get to ‘curate’ their experience of the city based on what I know they love. There’s so much going on and so many different places to go, while all of them are coming to ‘The 3-1-3’, it’s always a slightly ‘different’ city…
