Amazing to look at on the map. A half mile to the east is major road, Woodward Avenue. And immediately to the east of that road, its an entirely different neighborhood. Literally, on the west side, mansions back up to this road...and on the east side, falling apart properties.
That one house probably has a valuation as high as an entire city block, just a few thousand feet to the east.
As I mentioned, that’s what makes Detroit “weird.” I’ve never seen anything else like it, in any city, anywhere.
I was born and raised on the west side. I lived near Southfield and Schoolcraft, back in the day when you could play pick-up football on the island on Southfield. Many a Conestoga wagon passed us by, heading west.
