Back in the day, Livernois was the main route southward to Grand River and onto Olympia for concerts. As soon as you got south of 8 mile the "Avenue of Fashion" signs started and the further south you went, the burned out businesses from the riots were still there. It was sketchy back then and it appears to be still.
I actually lived in Detroit and attended U of D. I regularly drove on the streets in this video. It brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for the video.
Chris, I absolutely love your commentary videos. In fact, I think I'm kind of addicted. I grew up Square Lake (19 mile) and Squirrel. Adams Square neighborhood.. awesome place to grow up...Graduated from lahser high School in 1991. You're taking me to areas of Detroit that I was scared to go to back in the eighties and nineties. My mothers side of the family was from Detroit. Early 1900s. Keep up the excellent work and I wish you the best in your career. PS I really need to know the music list. It is so fitting and absolutely captures me. Peace, Steve
Two words: Elevated gardens. Trucking in topsoil and elevating the earth into terraces separates the growing soil from earlier property issues and run-offs. This is SOP whenever a soil base is suspect.
I appreciate that you put much effort and attention into your videos Chris but I can't agree about that hood. Looks good to me. I mean sure it could look better but EVERY place on this planet COULD look better. Anyhoo, I Like your vid and vids. Good day
Hey I’m familiar with this area. It’s the University District where the University of Detroit sits at. Anyway Chris keep up the good work on your series, especially the hood series with your hood music and me drinking my Grey Goose & Orange 🍊 Juice
It's a shame that Marygrove closed. Their athletic programs played a lot of schools in the conference they were in (Wolverine-Hoosier, a good NAIA conference) and their nonconference slate included some Mid-South Conference schools over the years. I was the Sports Information Director at Shawnee State (located in Portsmouth, Ohio); won the NAIA National Championship in men's basketball in 2021. Familiar with Marygrove to a degree.
Hey that's The elementary school I attended in 1969. Was named general George Custer elementary School. Now it's called Thurgood Marshall academy After the supreme Court Justice
8:25 My childhood neighborhood… barbershop on the left and what was a preschool on the right. Haven’t been over there in a while but at least from this video, its looking rougher than ever.
I am a new subscriber to your channel. I was born and raised in Detroit. I lived in the Gratiot and East 7 Mile Road on the Eastside of Detroit and the zip code is 48205.
I like to think that 48238 is improving: I bought a home here last year. Gotta go to the other channel to see if you cruise my little slice of the hood ❤
Amazing to see this. i grew up on Florence between 12th St & Log Cabin. which now as i have seen the block is poorly decayed now. not sure who lives there now. the last time i was over there was 1990 when my friend was moving. back in the day it was plenty of life over there. sure you had your hoodlums and crime but on the block i lived on we looked out for each other in the 70s. but today it don't even look the same. the house i lived in they tore it down. most of the block is tore down. gone.
RE: Chemicals dumped in the ground and farming. So many pundits have been raving about American "energy independence". But FRACKING involves injecting poisonous chemicals into the ground? And the chemical mix used to extract more oil is a secret that the companies won't even tell us! (Plus, modern industrial agriculture has resulted in long term contamination of soils and water. Should we even be eating corn products from Iowa, where half the farm wells have unsafe levels of pesticides?)
These oasis neighborhoods inside Detroit are always so beautiful. Being in the heavy construction trade I can assure you most of the nutrient rich soil of the farm was hauled away and common fill was used from the foundation hole for the rest of the lot. Not to mention what did the ever always so ethical city of Detroit use to backfill these former foundations? And a lot of these vacant lots I see become personal junkyards and dumps for people while they are in an area. They should need soil testing to have a community farm.
😢😮sad to see how the 🏙️ city I spent my teen yrs and young adult yrs in the early seventies to late eighties my adopted home 🏠 I also spent some time out in neighboring pontiac in 2020 Detroit I feel is home when first moving there was soon after the riots in early seventies we moved to Highland park but later on the Detroit side which I loved 😊 was rich with history and times were good until in eighties when crack stated showing up causing things to change in the city 😮 ruining good people and neighborhoods causing the crime Rate to soar and causing urban decay people to move away after gangs and rival gangs began to cause killing robberies breaking up families so sad 😢ok 😭
My first consideration when looking for a new town is mass transit. But if the air and water have bad scores then it gets crossed off the list. I can't imagine growing your own tomatoes or what have you in Detroit, and especially not Flint. Even if they've cleaned up the water and replaced the lead pipes. Crime is a consideration as well to me. But I'm less likely to be a target as I'm not out at night. Gods help anyone who breaks in! I'll do everything I can to end that threat to my life even if there isn't a Castle Doctrine. I'd rather plead out to manslaughter then be put in a box. But if they reclaimed those vacant lots for neighborhood gardens, tested the dirt, and the water could be trusted? I'd grow my own veggies. Why not?
Most of these homes were built when lead paint was still considered acceptable. It’s very likely that the soil on many of these lots are contaminated for that reason alone. I left that talking point out. Also there was an issue a couple of years ago with filling in the recently demolished lots with contaminated soil. Even if there were testing of the soil I’d still be extremely paranoid. I wouldn’t be able to trust it.
And if you're looking for mass transit, unless you think a very limited network of bus routes (that doesn't even extend into most suburbs) counts as mass transit, then you will be very disappointed in the metro Detroit area. Regardless of soil quality issues, crime rates, etc. We are completely dependent on our personal vehicles here.
@@TakenTook It's very limited where I currently live as well. If it wasn't for delivery groceries and still being able to ride e-scooters I'd be in a very bad spot.
@@ameliarhodes5000 -- There are lots of things that people in other modern industrialized countries take for granted, that we don't seem to have here in the richest country. Having legitimate mass transit options would make a big difference for so many people. It can be the difference between being able to keep a job and being unemployed, for example
So what's wrong with the west side of Michigan. You are always hanging out on the east side. Come over here and visit You know we get an annual snowfall of 77 in
Growing up in west Michigan and residing in southeast Michigan for 8 years now: There seams to be a bit more history to uncover in Detroit and the surrounding areas. However, I'd love to learn more about the Jw York and Sons instrument manufacturer in grand Rapids and what ended up happening to it.
The FDA says that's 15%. We're the top exporter of food and have been forever. The 80% is the world food supply grown in developing countries like you mentioned, but we mostly grow our own.
the Martin Park district homes are peculiarly like the house in Monrovia and Passadena, California. They would be worth up north 7 figures if they were here.
More like me being too burnt out at the time to notice every little detail and not having the time to go re-film. Wanna be my unpaid intern and do it for me?
