by With the continual growth of interest in Detroit City FC and the steady flow of traffic this site still receives, I figured it would be a good idea to put up a post to help direct newcomers (and oldcomers) to potential areas of interest, and to finally bump a 2+ year old interview post down from its long-held top position.
For over six years (2013-2020) I did my best to document City’s early history and tried to condense that spirit and atmosphere down into written form. I feel I came closest to achieving that in the following posts – my personal favorites. In chronological order:
- Dress For the Job You Want
- Dirty Old Town
- Mirror, Mirror
- This Perfect Day
- The Fourth Legion
- 72 Hours
- Reclamation
- The Undead
- Men of Action
History is one of my favorite subjects, and it’s recently come to my attention that there are actual, current City supporters who don’t know who Zach Schewee is, or what happened in Berkley on Mother’s Day 2013. If this is you, I strongly recommend reading and re-reading all 83 posts that make up the Story of the Club category. Here’s a handy link if you want to start from the beginning.
If numbers are more your thing, you might be interested in checking out how City’s attendance numbers grew over those first several years.
I never rule out any future projects, and I still have a few ideas bouncing around in my head, but for now I’m enjoying just being a fan and observing City’s evolution.
Thanks for all your support over the years.
