This month was an introduction to many new places and spaces. With the sun being a more frequent visitor in Detroit, it\u2019s allowed for some welcomed impromptu exploring. I recently purchased a bike and am anxious to utilize this fun accessory this spring. April has been more relaxing than anticipated but also was a great month for personal discovery while living in the city. Lots still to do though \u2013 let\u2019s not get it twisted.<\/p>\n
