Nope... EEV goes from Cadieux to Audobon. My family lived near Balduck park for decades, and that area was called O.N.E., until later changed to Cornerstone Village.
Technically, EEV is Harper to Mack and Outer Drive to Cadieux.
Edit: I live here, solid neighborhood if anyone is looking!
Correct, I don't know what I was thinking - Major brain fade..............sorry about that!
In 1978, our family moved into Grandma's house on Whittier between Chandler Park Drive and Harper. And I became involved with the neighborhood organization DEAR [[Detroit East Area Residents), one of the many such groups popping up at the time. I remember DARE, NEAR, and ONE were groups in the adjacent neighborhoods. This was, of course, before the neighborhoods were named as we know them today.
What's the situation with neighborhood groups in this area today?
During non-Covid times, there is quite a bit of residential engagement in organizations working to grow investment in the area. I lived in Morningside for two years back in the 00's and while the area went down hill a bit in that time, there were quite a few people working together to keep there area looking as good as it could. Now I live in East English Village and I can tell you that things are quite a bit more organized. The neighborhood association is very active and has quite a few talented and well connected people keeping our voices heard at city hall and with local utilities.In 1978, our family moved into Grandma's house on Whittier between Chandler Park Drive and Harper.

Here are a few groups doing good work on the far east side:
MECCA - https://www.meccadc.org/
E. Warren Development Corp. - https://ewarren.org/
Friends of the Alger Theater - https://www.algertheater.org/
Thanks for the info! Happy to see that there are organized efforts to keep the neighborhoods alive and safe. I remember the East Warren Businessman's Association as being very involved. And I know that evolved into a group called CEMBA which I can't determine if they are still active or were subsumed into another organization. I have fond memories of the Alger Theater as it was the first movie theater where I went to a Saturday afternoon matinee on my own.During non-Covid times, there is quite a bit of residential engagement in organizations working to grow investment in the area.
