I was wondering if Detroit is the only or among a few cities that has not one but two subcities within its borders.
I was traveling downtown Woodward goes south toward downtown and I passed through Highland Park. Now there isn't much said about Highland Park except for it many troubles but the lights are still on and I saw they have had a few new development projects, some residential units, a few years back some commercial strip malls and just recently opened a oil change shop. I know that the Neighborhood Service Organization renovated the old Michigan Bell Building into their executive office and housing for the homeless, etc. So Highland Park is alive and well. Also, I attended their second annual city expo and had a great time.
And, the other subcity that I'm not sure if it had a functioning independent government is Delray. True Delray is all but a ghost town, but I'm sure people still live within its boundaries and I saw some artistic butterflies nailed on various vacate storefronts along Fort Street so I submise not everyone has given up on the area.
Is The Great Detroit so great?
