Esther 3's Comments

When I was a little girl, Detroit was still safe to explore on bikes. My best friend and I would ride for blocks and blocks, exploring the various neighborhoods and their different oddities. There was the big, old brick house where the lady would hang her head out the window to dry her hair; the brick house surrounded by walls and fences with barbed wire to keep people out (or in!!!); the house with the doberman who had pierced ears; the green house where the little boy was always tying his sister to a tree (and occasionally tried to set her on fire!); the ex-con who lived down the street whose arms were covered in tattoos, but who had the nicest flower garden I've ever seen; and the hairdresser who ran a beauty shop out of her basement and had women sitting under dryers on her front porch. We explored so many little places in our neighborhood, and they're all still so fresh in my mind that I feel like I could go back today and nothing would be different.
