This article discusses how businesses, community groups [[The Motor City Blight Busters), and artists have revitalized a small stretch of the Old Redford commercial district. It demonstrates that positive things can happen if people starting DOING, and not just COMPLAIN AND FLEE.

The article lists some services that the Old Redford Business Association wants the city to provide in order to maintain and increase the resurgence -

"
The association wants better lighting, with the existing globe streetlights restored, better snow removal, more Dumpsters for trash collection, better parking signs, parking meters removed and more pressure on owners of dilapidated buildings."

We need to put pressure on our elected official to make sure these things happen.
