âš Detroit Spotlight: How Shinola Detroit Built a Global Brand From Local Roots |
When most people think of Detroit, they think of Motown, muscle cars, or pizza after a late-night out. But in the last decade, one company has been rewriting the cityâs story of grit and craftsmanship: Shinola Detroit. Founded in 2011, Shinola took over part of the historic Argonaut Building in Midtown and built something unexpected â a luxury watch and leather goods brand that proudly stamped âBuilt in Detroitâ on every product. At a time when much of Detroit was being written off in headlines, Shinola leaned into what makes the Motor City legendary: craft, resilience, and style. Their watches are assembled by hand in Detroit, their leather comes from a factory in Chicago, and their bicycles and audio gear have earned international attention. But hereâs what locals love most: Shinola didnât just build a business â they invested in people. By training Detroiters in precision watch assembly and skilled leatherwork, Shinola helped create hundreds of jobs in a city ready for revival. đïž Why This Matters for Detroiters
âš Reader TakeawayIf you havenât stopped by yet, check out the Shinola Hotel downtown or the flagship Shinola store in Midtown. Even if youâre not shopping for a $700 watch, the experience itself is pure Detroit energy. đ Want more Detroit business spotlights, insider nightlife guides, and exclusive city deals? |

đ± Greening the Motor City: How Detroit Is Turning Vacant Lots Into Urban Gardens |
Detroit is famous for cars, music, and grit â but itâs also becoming known for something unexpected: urban farming. Across the city, community groups and entrepreneurs are transforming vacant lots into green oases that feed families, reduce blight, and inspire a more sustainable future. One standout is the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative (MUFI) in North End, which has repurposed over three acres of once-abandoned land into gardens that grow fresh produce for local residents â completely free. Projects like these not only reduce food insecurity but also bring neighbors together and cool the cityâs âheat islands.â đ Why This Matters
Detroit is proving that sustainability isnât just about policy â itâs about people. By rethinking what we do with unused land, the city is showing how resilience and innovation can thrive side by side. đĄ How You Can Get Involved
