Not your grandfather's Brush Park

Thanks for taking the time to compose this photo montage.

I lament so many of the old, ornate gilded-age mansions in this district were neglected and eventually demolished. However, we have to move on and embrace the exciting redevelopment, transformation, and densification of Brush Park. Even though Dan Gilbert's project is the head-liner, Brush Park is seeing a host of different developers building all different types of multi-unit housing from I-75 all the way to Mack.

This is what a city is supposed to look like!!

I would love to see the old Brewster-Wheeler Recreation Building restored back to its original purpose. A nice recreation/community center with outdoor tennis courts, basketball courts, etc would be a great addition to this neighborhood. Maybe the Ralph C. Wilson, or other local foundation can be approached, as well as the Crain's family who owns it.

Definitely getting some big city neighborhood vibes from some of these photos. Once the trees grow a little and the landscaping is completed, this area will look amazing. It will be interesting to see what kind of street-level activity will be going on in such a dense residential area once everything is finished.
