The River Runs Deep
Massively built Juan Derby Sr. plants pepper seedlings at the community garden by the Oaks of Rightness old shelter. Derby, who is originally from Baltimore, moved to Monroe some 20 years ago.
Monroe is a small town half way between Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH. Its biggest claim to fame is being the headquarters of Lazy Boy Corporation. Lazy Boy no longer manufactures furniture here. It imports it from China. Two paper mills and a number of car factories (including Ford) used to operate in the area. They are all gone now. Jobs that are still available in the area are low paying and mostly in the service industry.
