Over the weekend we put out a call for suggestions on cities to feature. One that came back quickly was Detroit by @tjvalenti. Well, ask and ye shall receive … and there are more coming later this week! So, if you’re from Motor City, thank @tjvalenti for the cool photos this week.
@CoolOldPhotos Detroit!!!
