Oh TIME, we hardly knew thee.
You swept in and purchased that delectable West Village manse, and we thought you'd be writing cover stories on our grit and posting really cool photo galleries and blogging about our creativity forever. All good things must come to an end, we guess, so we bid a fond farewell to the TIME Detroit team.

America-Detroit, InsideOut Literary Arts Project, City Year Detroit and
Covenant House Michigan. Said Time Inc. editor in chief John Huey: "What
groups like these show is that people of good will haven't given up on
Detroit -- especially not on its kids."
