Detroit Homecoming kicks off Wednesday night

The annual Detroit Homecoming event begins Wednesday night from an all new location; The Michigan Central Station. For the first time since the mid-80s, a major event will be held in the long-abandoned train station. The 4th annual Detroit Homecoming, hosted by Crain's Detroit Business, will use the towering 104-year old train station as its backdrop. The Detroit homecoming is a private forum that invites successful former Detroiters back to the city to reconnect and invest. Mary Kramer, who's the director of Detroit Homecoming, says it's a magical time. "We invite them back for 2 1/2 days with the intention to re-engage," she says. This year, several hundred expats will dawn on the city from the 13th to September 15th.
