10 Year Vision for Highland Park

There needs to be something done about the storefronts "downtown" that are just north of the Davison. To be blunt, they look like shit. I don't know what it is about HP, but it's even more depressing to go through it than a typical run down Detroit neighborhood.

I hope a plan can bring them better days...

So true.Back in the early 80's I was living in Hamtramck and I decided to take a walk through HP to Woodward.That was the day I decided I wanted to move far away. It looked like post WW][ Europe.

For all that though there are parts of Highland Park that still have some very nice housing stock. Particularly on the state-named streets in the southeast part of the town [[where I believe Lowell lived for some years) and up in the northwest part, where there are even some craftsman bungalows, a style that's pretty rare in this area.

I believe a good many of the craftsman-style bungalows were built as Sears kit houses.
