Living In Detroit, MI

Perhaps best known as the Automotive Capital of the World, Detroit always played a key role as a hub of transportation–from freeways to railways to waterways as well as access to the Underground Railroad and the US-Canadian border–but that reputation grew in 1903 when resident Henry Ford and other automotive pioneers began manufacturing their products in the city. Thanks to these revolutionizing contributions, this industrialized city earned the moniker Motor City.
