Detroit’s Greektown has a little bit of something for everyone. As the sun sets, it comes alive with people and plenty of establishments with live music to visit. There are also street performers, plenty of casinos in the area and many places to lounge or eat.

Dear Readers,

I cannot believe that school began for my youngest on August 10th. I am not sure if I will indeed go crazy this year or just need to cope with for the first time having two children in two separate schools for the first time ever. I wonder how they will fare not being together for the first time since they are 15 months apart.
