Detroit Rock City.
Andy, Emily, and Robb Lin are both family to each other and family to their city: Detroit, MI.
As seventh-generation locals, they know their fair share about the backstreets and byways of this 300-year-old city — not to mention its rich history and cultural legacy. Belle Isle to 8-Mile: An Insider’s Guide to Detroit will be the distillation of all this knowledge into a comprehensive, well-curated, printed guide. It will feature over 750 sites and attractions, plus curiosities ranging from the essential to the totally obscure.
As far as featuring them as our Project of the Day? Nothing curious about it. Hands up for Detroit! -
A Robocop statue for Detroit, in progress. According to a recent project update, some crucial final pieces were just completed. The hands, above, will be 3D scanned, enlarged, and milled from foam, then shipped to Venus Bronze Works in Detroit for molding and pouring.
