The definitive insider’s guide to living in one of America’s most talked-about and least understood cities. With a wry sense of humor, Detroit native Aaron Foley walks you through the most difficult questions about the Motor City, offering seven simple rules for making it there. Perfect for coastal transplants, wary suburbanites, unwitting gentrifiers, or start-up disruptors, this recently updated guidebook offers insight and advice on everything from the glories of Vernors ginger ale to rehabbing a house to not sounding like an uninformed racist. In twenty short chapters, Foley walks you through: • How Detroiters do business • The unofficial guide to enjoying Faygo • How to be gay in Detroit • How to raise a Detroit kid • How to party in Detroit • And more. Both hilarious and insightful, this no-frills look at Motown is written for those who live there but also, as Vanity Fair put it, “for anyone participating in contemporary global urbanization who would like to avoid behaving like a subjugating dick.”
