Here's a look at how the Metropole Barber Shop in Detroit's North End has changed over the last 12 years. Which changes do you notice most? Check out this week's video for an in-depth history lesson: https://youtu.be/K43yHAkWiT0

This historic Detroit building was once home to a Japanese tea company, a confectionery, and a barbershop, offering a glimpse into the people and businesses that shaped the North End neighborhood. The long-abandoned structure could soon be demolished. New video live on my channel now: https://youtu.be/K43yHAkWiT0

This building, once home to a saloon, bank, and longtime neighborhood florist, illustrates the history of the Polish community that grew around St. Hedwig. Today, that legacy is in jeopardy thanks to a fire. New video live on my channel now: https://youtu.be/9P7V853QAtE

One of the few constants in my thirty-one years of life is the Crim Festival of Races in Flint, Michigan. Some of my earliest memories are of cheering for my grandpa, who ran the 10-mile every year starting in the race's second year in 1978 until the year before he passed, and competing in the Teddy Bear Trot as a really little kid. I might not look like it today, but I was pretty fast as a kid, and I always loved running it every summer, even into high school.

When I got older and was drinking b**r in the summer instead of running, my mom always walked it (and continues to), and I always checked the race results afterwards to see who I knew that ran. The older I get, the more my brain tells me I need to get back to the bricks. When I let those thoughts win, the more the metal fused onto my bones in my foot and arm tells me it was a bad idea after the fact, when I can barely walk.

I ran the 5K the last two years just for sh*ts and giggles, but after getting really sick a week and a half before this year's race, I decided to walk the 5-mile race with my mom instead. The adrenaline wasn't there, but I got to bring my camera, which was a new experience, and I enjoyed spending the time with my mom.

Here are the photos I shot during the race on Saturday in the city where I was born and have some of my fondest memories of my youth.

Any guesses where I went for lunch after?

This historic building was once home to saloons, dance halls, and grocery stores, offering a glimpse into the bustling Polish commercial corridor that was Chene Street. Today, that legacy is barely recognizable. New video live on my channel now: https://youtu.be/49lxW23OkUA

The Sweetest Heart of Mary Pierogi Festival is this weekend! I popped over yesterday to check it out and snapped these photos. The highlight for me is that the church, built between 1892 and 1893, is open. The festival runs Saturday from 12-9 and Sunday from 12-5. In a few weeks, the St. Hyacinth Banana Festival will be on the horizon, so look out for that, too! Have a great weekend, y'all.

This tiny structure, built to house a coal sales company, illustrates how the muscle memory of Detroit's early railroads continues to influence Detroit today. New video live on my channel now: https://youtu.be/zb3jHgZFZsI

These feral kittens were born in our backyard from two litters within a week of each other. We captured as many of them as we could and have been socializing them for the last few weeks. They aren’t all the way there yet, but most of them are now very friendly with humans and love playing together and with us. We think they're around 12 weeks old.

We are looking for people to adopt or foster these sweeties. A few of them have great relationships and would be a great pair to adopt. They still need to be fixed, but if that’s a financial hurdle for you, we can try to make it happen before you take them home.

We have an indoor rescue cat that hates other cats and two rescue dogs, so taking on more cats long-term isn’t in the cards. Please help us help these sweet babies!
