Petula Clark got it right. Things are pretty great downtown.

Back from the Big Apple
New York, New York
I’ve just returned from one of my absolute favorite places, New York City. As usual, I brought back with me a new “I heart NY” shirt (this time in turquoise), a Metro Card with money left on it (one more reason to go back), a few extra pounds (darn you Minetta Black Label burger!), wonderful memories, and about a thousand new photos.
While I still have a ton of editing to do, I wanted to share an image of my favorite building in the Big Apple, the majestic Chrysler Building.

Souvenirs of 2012
Exodisc, Montmartre, Paris
As the year comes to an end, like most of us I think, I’ve been spending some time looking back at the last twelve months remembering all of the good times. There are certain things you take with you into the new year, almost like souvenirs of 2012. I’m not just talking about the Detroit Blues album discovered in a little record shop in the hills of Montmartre 4,000 miles from home this past August.
There was the starry night in Lyon at the Roman amphitheater, savoring every note of that phenomenal Bon Iver show. There was the afternoon I spent in Music Heaven, right here in Detroit at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, hoping Jack White would never leave the stage. It’s the memories and experiences we take with us as our adventures through 2012 come to an end that to me are the best keepsakes of all.
Back to Meadow Brook
Meadow Brook Hall, Rochester, Michigan
It had been eight years since I’d been to Meadow Brook Hall, the 88,000 square foot mansion built in the late 1920s by Matilda Dodge Wilson (widow of John Dodge – as in Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, etc.).
Rochester, Michigan
As soon as I walked in, fond memories of galas & good times came to mind. Flapper dresses, secret staircases, black & white movies in the ballroom…

They say you can’t go back, but I think it’s ok to visit now and then and appreciate the past, whether it be your own or that of a wealthy automotive family you’re of no relation to.

In Pursuit
Paris, France
Even the possibility of something new can be frightening, but what’s life without an adventure? Where’s the excitement in standing still?
