Recently, we were talking with friends in our neighborhood about articles that keep popping up about Detroit. The stories go something like this: from crime capital to America\u2019s most exciting city, the remarkable reinvention of Detroit.<\/p>\n

The latest article was in the Telegraph<\/a>, but here are a couple others: this<\/a> one, this<\/a> one, and this<\/a> one.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s heartening that some of the world\u2019s best media outlets are singing the praises of my hometown, and the city where I\u2019ve located my business. We believe in Detroit; it\u2019s just great to see others rooting for it, too.<\/p>\n

That said, I still run into people from other cities and other countries who say, \u201cOh, you\u2019re in Detroit? Is it safe?\u201d<\/p>\n

I shake my head with exasperation because yes, Detroit is safe. It\u2019s also a great place to be an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

It only requires that someone comes from out of town to see all the growth and possibility that we see. Restaurants. Hotels. Innovative shops, boutiques, and startups. And so much more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s diverse, it\u2019s cultural, it\u2019s exciting to be in Detroit. I want people around the country to look to us and see a huge opportunity for growth. It\u2019s why Lada and I invested in becoming the Area Developers for Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Michigan. We\u2019re working now on opening a stellar studio in the heart of Detroit, and we just know it\u2019s going to take off.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than time to dispel all the myths that hovered around Detroit since the turmoil of the 1960s and replace those old, antiquated stories with new stories.<\/p>\n

Stories of Detroit as an entrepreneurial city, a beautiful cultural city, a city poised for growth and innovation and original ideas.<\/p>\n

We plan to open 10 more studios in the greater Detroit area<\/a>, and we hope this story is what will drive us into the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
