An online magazine from Whole Foods Market, Dark Rye brings together pioneers of unconventional ideas to explore the edges of the creative life. Here on the Dark Rye Tumblr, we’ll compile a mixtape of their secrets—a daily how-to and counter-convention dose of sass and entrepreneurialism for your own neighborhood.
We’ll offer perspective on our monthly themes as well as the pioneer’s blueprint: fresh insight and an idea-starter that makes every day feel like a sleeves-rolled-up Saturday morning in spring. Hang out here to stay revived between Dark Rye feasts.

In North America, we just don’t do bikes as well as we should. Bike world, bike roads, bike life. Cities should be bikes-everywhere. We’d all be happier.

Young entrepreneur Andy Didorosi believes that the way to Detroit’s new era depends on better leadership and a solid connection between the city and the suburbs. So when the city in 2012 axed its plans to build the M-1 light rail, the transit solution that would’ve bridged that vital connection, Didorosi was mad as hell. So what’s an angry young man in this situation supposed to do? Well, Didorosi bought a bus, had a local artist trick it out with a wicked mural, and he started the Detroit Bus Company. Dedicated to a more connected city, Andy Didorosi is bringing Detroit home one ride at a time.
The Third Man Record Booth, from musician Jack White and Third Man Records, is a restored 1947 Voice-o-Graph machine that will record up to 2 minutes of audio. Once recorded, the machine creates and dispenses a 6 inch vinyl disc to the user for keeps or to mail off as a unique gift. Jack unveiled the Third Man Record Booth during Record Store Day on April 20, 2013. It is permanently located at the Third Man Records Novelty Lounge in Nashville.
Whether it be a song, a message to a lover, an audio postcard or just the curiosity of a process that has mystified so many folks for ages, the ability to “hear yourself as others hear you” is not only a tagline here…it’s an invitation, a charge, a call to arms. The Third Man Recording Booth will be the only machine of its kind in the world that is both operational and open to the public. The booth will run on custom Third Man tokens already in use in the Third Man Novelties Lounge.

Like most young people in my generation who have a family history in Detroit, my parents left the city for the suburbs…
Many young people of my generation are moving back and creating new businesses in the city. They are working to reconnect a city that many see as microcosm from the fall of the American Dream. I am one of these returning children. … I find home in the city that grows and reinvents itself despite urban blight. I find my sense of place in the beauty of rebuilding…
