The largest city in Michigan has been known by many nicknames throughout its colorful history. Along with introducing the world to typewriters, automatic coffee makers and ice cream sodas, Detroit has achieved fame for being the automobile capital of the world, earning it the nickname “Motor City.”
As a center of industry during WWII, Detroit was known as the “Arsenal of Democracy,” but in the 1960’s, Detroit switched from technology to culture as the city enchanted America with the smooth sound of Motown music.
Residents of assisted living in Detroit need not worry about being swallowed up by skyscrapers and factories, as this city boasts many beautiful parks and is also home to the only international wildlife preserve in North America. The preserve is uniquely located in the heart of Detroit’s metropolitan area, encompassing 48 miles of shoreline from the Detroit River to Western Lake Erie in neighboring Canada.
