Francesca, I am very pleased to hear from you again and glad you liked the poem. Here is a little geography. Detroit is on the Detroit River which is, as it's name implies, actually a 'straight' which connects Lake Erie to Lake St. Clair. Lake Michigan is 300 or so miles away to the west. Janice and Jim raised me in the Detroit area.
