For further proof

As further proof of the Detroit pride/obsession, we received this interoffice email yesterday from Justin:

I'll be wishing my grandmother a happy 90th Birthday this weekend in the fine city of Detroit, MI. As such, i will not be in the office tomorrow.

I'll be available for emergencies in the afternoon via cell (flying in the morning), and will be able to see emails on my blackberry.

In case any of you were looking for more interesting tidbits on the city of Detroit, i invite you to reference this wikipedia page explaining why Franklin D Roosevelt referred to the city as "the great arsenal of democracy" on December 29th, 1940.
