And, again, ruin porn pictures of the Packard Plant running along another Detroit story.:mad:

I swear, the way the national media uses the Packard Plant as ground zero of devastation, I'm going to...

While we are at it, HATCH could also use some more help, too...We recently got a roof on the old Hamtown jail, but we still need $$$ to repair the neglected boiler and plumbing. We can't yet do what...

Can I ask a question-how did you live in a house without windows? I'd find it kinda....creepy, Django.

That's it. Man, today only two walls are somewhat standing...

Thanks for checking on Monk. I really worried when I saw the shack go up-I live about 3 blocks away from it, and the fire was so bad for a short time, I thought we had a gas leak explosion. I just...

Does anyone know how to get ahold of the young white guy who was fixing the place recently?

It looks like the kerosene in back of the house went up-I saw blue flames. I hope the guy wasn't in the...

Hm....mebbe rephrase your conjecture?

I've stayed in my 100 year old Poletown home because my brother has fought the fight to have a save neighborhood around his buisness. It ain't perfect, but...

How about great Indian/Bangladeshi in Hamtramck? Aladdin's Sweets on Conant is cheap and good-though, no music. And Royal Kabob, on Caniff, has the best Middle Eastern food I've had since La Shish...

Okay: about Mother's: I've lived in the Poletown area all my 50+ years. All I ever remember about Mother's is that someone painted it brown in around 1982, started working on it, and then pretty...

My group in Hamtramck, HATCH-Hamtramck Arts Collective-is trying to rehab the old Hamtramck police station. We'll be at the building Saturdays after 12 pm to 5pm until the weather's too cold. See...

How about a small bright spot?

Although the fire at Chene and Hendrie took out the building it was in-three small defunct businesses, and had the roof cave in on that building-the building next...

There's railroad tracks on the west side of the Packard Plant.

If you go down south on East Grand Blvd, the 1st couple of blocks south of Mt Elliott, you can see all the support vehicles and stunt...

Hey-about not moving in certain areas:

I have seen new faces around Farnsworth and Moran-urban pioneers? And the barber shop at Chene and Palmer's done more than a little renovation to their part...

Most of it's ours [[land.) Mt Elliot corner's are the city or the county.

Hey, I just want ideas on viability! I thought owning
or caretaking a block was a way towards substainability.

Hmmm....how to reply?

The original owners of Chene Trombley sold it in the 1990's. The new owner would probably sell, but he'd want quite a bit.

Yeah, I'd leave if the price was right. It's...

I'm not in a rural section of Poletown-I live across the street from Chene Trombley, so you know I'm also a block from I-94. Hamtramck's just a mile away from where I live, so getting to most things...

Mmm...I live in Poletown. I also know about the urban prairie, emminent domain [[Immaculete Conception Church, anyone?) and watching things shrink.

Can I stay put and help stabilize the area I'm...

Was it for the "amazing cynicalman?"

Nope-the orchard I'm talking about is about a mile northwest from there. When were you there last? The city's been having the abandoned house's fields leveled the last three years, which destroys...

Yeah, that's the article. Look, I know I'm not living in heaven. I can tell you stories...heck, the one when someone took a large back-hoe to Chene Trombley Market to break in at 3:00 in the...

Again, I read another article about how horrible my neighborhood around I-94 and Mt Elliot is, and how horrible it is that the president has to go down Mt Elliot to the Poletown Plant [[Detroit News...

Hey-am I the only person on this board who still lives in Poletown?
My brother owns Bargain Dollar Resale-which has existed since 1983, near 1-94 and Mt Elliot: doesn't someone notice that some...

What about Randazzo's on Outer Drive, near 7 mile & Van Dyke? Though not the prettiest produce store on the planet, with no deli, it still has a huge selection of produce. I've gone there for...

Oh-just saw this: yes, I speak of Richard H.

Hm, I didn't know the project on Chene through U of M shut down. I do think the Hamtramck historical society has some stuff on Chene, though.

Okay!!!!! I think I should continue this, for those who don't know some of the details of the area...

I live, and have lived near Chene almost all my life. My brother has owned and maintained ...
