The River Runs Deep
Dakota Derby, Juan's son plays in the family backyard. Children from the east side of Monroe underperform in school and have bigger health issues than those from wealthier suburbs and towns.
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.
