Wordless Wednesday: Cass Tech High School (1917)--Another Detroit Gem Disappears

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead of preserving history and temporarily securing the doors and windows of the beautiful and historic 1917 Cass Technical High School building, the Detroit Public Schools Administration is spending over $3,000,000 to demolish the edifice. The destruction begins this week and continues through the summer of next year. Any number of companies could have come in to re-purpose the building located right off of I-75 and many bus lines. Cass Tech graduated many famous (and infamous) Detroiters; and was previously known as one of the top public high schools in the United States. (Disclaimer: I am a member of the CT Class of 1967...)

What is the "Right Size" for Detroit?

We must move Detroit forward.

We can't continue to operate as in the past.

We don't have 2,000,000 in population anymore.

Detroit is already "downsized".

We cannot afford to stretch our 1st Responder services to almost empty areas.

20th century attitudes won't help in the 21st century.

Fewer but more populated and vibrant neighborhoods is a good thing.

We can and should "re-purpose" nearly vacant areas.

Add to the discussion in the "Comments" Area.

American Indian Movement of Michigan, First Nations Flotilla

THINGS TO DO THURDAY

Native Americans are getting their back to their roots on Friday, August 27, 2010 with a Detroit River Canoe Crossing to enforce the 1974 Jay Treaty Rights led by the American Indian Movement of Michigan. 200 canoes will journey across Detroit's, Belle Isle Island/Park to Windsor, Ontario, and back.


The goal of AIM of Michigan is to further the rights of the original people of the America's, to promote cultural understanding, to aid in human rights causes, to promote respect and understanding of humanity, the earth and all creatures.

Although often confused with the new group in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Detroit group is supported by Half Wolf Merchandise, whose artists are all of Native descent, and the proceeds of all sales inherently support the native community. The AIM of Michigan office is located on East Boston Blvd. in Detroit, Michigan.

NOTE: "The "Jay Treaty" was ratified by Congress in 1797. John Jay negotiated this treaty with Great Britain. Under Jay's Treaty, the British agreed to leave areas in the Northwest Territory which they had been required to return earlier, under the Treaty of Paris. This treaty did not, however, oblige the British to observe American neutral rights."
