It’s been a while since my last post, so I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who continues to follow my work. I’m still at the @freep, doing what I love and telling the stories of this beautiful city. But I’m back from my little hiatus for this one.

Justin Verlander's Tigers farewell was last weekend, but @freepsports gave him one last goodbye in this Sunday's print edition (along with grades for the whole team, not pictured), with some great pics by @visualdavid and some throwback pages by, ahem, some old designer (mostly).

Behind every policy decision and contract dispute are real people whose lives are profoundly affected by the outcome. For Andrew and Amanda, the contract dispute was never just about a contract. It was about making sure their son could continue receiving the care he needs. – at Detroit, MI
