'Humans of New York' features stories from Metro Detroit

Humans of New York announced Monday it is doing a series on Macomb County.

"Macomb County has made a lot of news lately. A northern suburb of Detroit, the county is largely ‘blue collar’ and its economy is heavily dependent upon the auto industry. Last week Macomb County voted decisively for Donald Trump. It was the first time in almost thirty years that a Republican presidential candidate has carried Michigan. Many pundits have pointed to this shift as representative of a greater movement among America’s white working class. For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be posting stories from Macomb County. I didn’t ask anyone who they voted for. Very few of the stories even touch on politics. And while the series cannot presume to be representative of an entire region, hopefully it will introduce you to a few of the people who live there."

Humans of New York is a blog that creates feature stories on places around the world. It gives its audience glimpses into the lives of people from other places.

Their Facebook page has more than 18 million fans.
