My Grandma, the Urban Farmer (2012)
- rmason 5y agoThe author and her husband are very successful entrepreneurs in Detroit. Even forty years ago this wasn't a very nice neighborhood. It's an excellent demonstration of the hardy, perhaps stubborn people, who never left the city of Detroit when things started to fall apart. For decades it was jokingly hard to buy an empty lot or even an abandoned house that reverted to the county over bad taxes. Now it's extremely easy to buy an abandoned lot if you live nearby. It's getting easier to buy abandoned houses, but no where as simple as it should be.
