Henige also said social media is helping people take back the city of Detroit, bringing both newcomers and Detroit natives back home. It’s great “to see really how the people and the businesses are coming together, but also what the social media is allowing,” she said, in terms of people moving downtown to connect and share their stories. “It’s kind of like we’re taking back our city – it’s kind of fun.”
