DetroitWiki
december 2009 by bkerr
The DetroitWiki Project is a volunteer-driven effort to collect information about Detroit that anybody can freely edit. The idea is to create a space where different things that make the City can live -- historical records, current topics, meeting plans, biographies. This is a place to make a page for something that wouldn't otherwise be online.

"Eight years ago, Detroiter Tom Milano, 60, wanted to show his eastside neighbors a glimpse of the beautiful side of nature by creating a thick pond garden in the front yard of his old brick bungalow home. The display was so well received that creating gardens for others turned into his unusual job."
