Crossing the Lines is an exploration of what unites us and divides us as people and as a region. Throughout the remainder of the year and all through 2012, WDET will collaborate with the residents of Southeast Michigan on a deep, long-view query. The central question: how do we behave when we create these lines and does this always serve our interests?

Meet Metro Detroiters Who Are "Crossing the Lines" - The Craig Fahle Show
In early 2011, WDET started a reporting concept we call “Crossing the Lines”. Crossing the Lines is an exploration of what unites us and divides us as people and as a region.
Since then, you have helped WDET and Metro Detroit by coming out to our events – community meetings large and small, talking about your place in the fabric of Southeast Michigan and lending your voice to surveys, stories and conversations here on the Craig Fahle Show.
As we head into 2013, WDET is proud to share with you some of the voices, the names, and the people who we’ve met in our travels in a new series of videos.

Rochester: The Intersection of Old, New, Art & Nature - WDET's Raw Feed
WDET's Rob St. Mary went to Rochester this week to talk the locals about their community.
"The idea is that when I talk to someone it goes beyond what I call “transactional” - just doing one interview for one story. The idea is building relationships with people. Building stronger, deeper connections and more authentic stories will come from that process. It’s about more than just filling space on-air or on-line. For me, it’s about connecting on a much deeper level.
That’s why I’ve been enjoying my coffee shop tour. "
