Detroit's Grocery Stores

The national media says Detroit is a "food desert." Local activists respond that the city has 111 full-service supermarkets, like Honeybee, that fly below the national radar. As a Detroiter, I decided to visit all 111 supermarkets and anywhere else that self-identified as a grocery store. Here is what I found. This is a work in progress. Follow along: Twitter & instagram
