Just to be clear, the Mt. Eliot Makerspace is *in* Detroit, not East Detroit or Eastpointe as it’s now called. Looks interesting, I’m going to have to check them out!

I can’t wait to get home and watch the video! HacDC is in a church too, which struck me as outrageously weird (and more than a little uncomfortable) at first, but once I got to know the place, it felt really natural. Very cool.
