  • Discover Detroit's Hidden Gems Alina Waring Has Been an Emergency
    Discover Detroit’s Hidden Gems Alina Waring has been an emergency physician for 26 years and is currently on staff at Hedrick Medical Center in Chillicothe, Missouri. She lives in Alpharetta, Georgia. Alina was a guest and participant at the 2018 design:retail Forum in Detroit, a conference bringing together 175+ “thought leaders” from the retail, supplier, and consultant segments. The following are some of her thoughts and observations after her trip to Detroit. We’re pleased to share her recollections and favorite images from her visit. The 2018 design:retail Forum was held in Detroit, and as in past years the locations were always carefully curated by a committee such that the group would meet in “happening” places. However, not everyone I’d told of my Detroit destination was as convinced. I was alone for parts of my stay, and by particular request, was required to send signs-of-life messages to friends periodically when I was roaming around, just so they knew I was alive and well. As it happened, on my first foray from the hotel, I’d chosen a path leaving the Westin Book Cadillac heading toward the MGM Casino. It was cloudy and drizzly, and the street going past the bus station didn't seem quite intended to welcome tourists. I was a little intimidated and promptly started heading back from whence I came. But on the way back I started to see crowds of people and gravitated toward the group, feeling safety in numbers. Many were wearing Lions jerseys. I’d remembered that Monday Night Football would be in town that night, along with the Tigers across the street.
