Student 1 of 3 to win Microsoft contest

By Ashley Bornancin · Tuesday, Feb. 3,2009 11:29 p.m.

A dying Detroit

By Stephanie Kane · Tuesday, Feb. 3,2009 11:12 p.m.

I’ve lived outside of Detroit for as long as I can remember. When I was less than two years old, my father was transferred to Michigan for a job from Florida. So since it’s virtually my only home, one would think that I would have immense pride for my hometown and city, right?
