Hmmm, I know Canine To Five is still donating funds to the Woodbridge Summerfest this year, so that leads me to believe it is still happening Sat. August 18!

I think it will be a great event! I hope they get a great turnout!

How does one become Lord of The Woodbridge Summerfest and never rented or owned anything in the neighborhood?

I heard it was due to Motor City Casino not sponsoring this year and the organizers not having enough money. Over the last 2, they gave the largest amount of money. Just, what I heard. Anyone hear the same?

I don't have any dirt, but I remember last year hearing that the same outfit had won a governor's Cool City grant for landscaping and restoration at Scripps Park which hasn't been finished.

Hell, the city hasn't even rebuilt the brick it tore down to fix the sink hole!

From http://www.CoolCities.com :

quote:

Detroit-Woodbridge Neighborhood Development Corporation-Woodbridge Cultural Corridor: The 4731 project is an arts incubator whose local mission seeks to accomplish three primary goals, to provide an anchor for the Woodbridge neighborhood, support and promote self-sustaining artists, and to preserve architectural history. The project plans include the development of three arts-focused incubators (micro-enterprise virtual companies fashion, film, and furniture/design) live-work housing, multiple examples of public art, food and beverage, and retail space. It is located on Grand River Avenue, immediately north of Corktown. The grant will include façade improvements on 9 buildings; some are historic.
