The Other Detroit.

An audio tour of Detroit's other culture. This piece offers listeners a perspective on Detroit that is not often discussed in mainstream media. Learn about: hip hop in Detroit's Mexican Town, the new dance craze in Detroit called "jitting," which grew out of its ghetto tech scene, the graffiti scene in Detroit, and a Detroit Friday night Christian hip hop open mic. All of the above are examples of the creative life blood of Detroit that is making beauty in the midst of the economic depression burdening the city.
