Aaron dives into his motivation for writing the book, who his target audience is and why he believes people need a primer before moving to Detroit.

We then talk to former Metro Detroit resident and mlive.com writer turned Brooklyn transplant, Ross Maghielse. He tells us how Detroit and Brooklyn are different, what buzz he's hearing about moving to Detroit and how gentrification has shaped his neighborhood.

Over the past 25 years, the mall has gone through a slow, painful decline. In the past ten years there have been shootings and even a death. Yet to a photographer, an artist, a former Hudson's employee and former patrons, Northland is a place of great sentiment and importance.

After Kyle figures out how to work the phone, they get a surprise call from from former colleague, Oakland athletics broadcaster, Neal Ruhl. Neal breaks some exciting news involving Detroit City FC.

Also Nancy Kaffer of the Detroit Free Press did something that few in the mainstream media have dared to do; question Dan Gilbert and the budding surveillance downtown.
