A change of venue
Change is inevitable and often for the good, but from the vantage point of 8271 Dobel ... well ... show me the good.
As it was from the very beginning -- when I used those words in an audio slideshow describing my childhood neighborhood -- change has been the focal point of this blog and the work being done at Fletcher Field and the surrounding neighborhood.
We changed some attitudes, the park and, hopefully, the path of at least one child who was heading in the wrong direction.
Today, I have to tell you about a change of direction for me. I have decided to leave The Detroit News in early November to pursue other things.
I will remain in the Metro Detroit area and continue to work in the old neighborhood. I will still write about what happens there -- although I'm not sure if this blog will stay where it is on The Detroit News site or move someplace else. That will have to be worked out. Wherever the blog ends up, I will let you know before my departure.
Nothing lasts forever. The old neighborhood and what's happening all around us is evidence of that. But change isn't always a bad thing.
I think this one will be a good one for me and my family, and I feel at peace with my decision this morning.

When your decision is made with your family’s best interest at heart, it is certainly the wisest choice.
You have touched so many lives, Michael, and helped us all to grow. We wish you all of the best in your new endeavors! And we pray that your legacy has only just begun.
Godspeed, my friend!
