Britain Woodman lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A fascination with
how the same brands and concepts fit into different communities led
him to document them, first in in photographs and then in long-form
writing. This writing led to speaking and, ultimately, to authoring
this volume with Ann Arbor's preeminent living historian, Patti F.
Smith. Ideally, he would be out visiting every city's beloved,
vanishing places, but working on this book was cool too.
