The City Bird kids, Andy and Emily Linn, have been well documented in this little mag. But here's one from the Detroit News.
Excerpt:
Last November, the Linns opened City Bird, an edgy
store/gallery/artspace on Canfield between Cass and Second. They sell
their own line of Detroit-themed housewares and accessories, vintage
clothing and art created by more than 50 other local and regional
artists. They also plan to have art shows once a month.
And

positive-minded and cheerful individuals who live in the Cass Corridor

of Arts; Andy works at Zachary & Associates, a local urban planning
firm), both are banking on that "yet" to become a reality in the not
too distant future.
"We are 100 percent committed to Detroit,"
says Andy. "Detroit's current position allows us to reinvent the
landscape. And that's what we both find exciting. The expanse is such
that you can think so creatively and out of the box here."
