“We got tired of looking at a Detroit split up by zip codes, and all the neighborhood maps of Detroit that are half empty, so we created a map where Detroit is completely filled in with neighborhoods.

As someone born in Detroit, and whose father taught at Redford High School, but left in 1956, this is really helpful. When they talk about all the neighborhoods in Curbed Detroit, I have no idea where they are in relationship to where I used to live. Thank you!
