This will be a great event that brings all of the Motor City together to be the change we wish to see for the D.
In an ideal world, we will throw a street party that includes: music, food, drinks (probably not alcoholic cuz booze and sledgehammers are a bad combo) art and hopefully a screening of the "Lemonade Detroit" movie short. Oh and for some reason I'm thinking we need a dunk... [read more]
This will be a great event that brings all of the Motor City together to be the change we wish to see for the D.
In an ideal world, we will throw a street party that includes: music, food, drinks (probably not alcoholic cuz booze and sledgehammers are a bad combo) art and hopefully a screening of the "Lemonade Detroit" movie short. Oh and for some reason I'm thinking we need a dunk tank. Those are always fun!
While we party and carry on, we will be spending time "busting blight" too. This will be one of the best experiences you have this summer. You will work. You will make a better Detroit. You will have fun and you will feel great for doing so.
The fashion is going to be to wear old clothes and sturdy shoes. Bring work gloves, eye protection (if you have it) and those nylon face masks never hurt anyone ;-) Sure you'll look funny, but you'll also look like what made this area great. Hard work!
If you have a shovel, garbage can you were thinking about getting rid of, an axe/sledgehammer or rake...bring those too. Oh and we can never have enough garbage bags.
We are seeking some corporate sponsors to make this as fun as possible. I've reached out to some Detroit centric music acts and would love more. If you have recommendations...ask them if they'll consider playing and then let @terrybean know. Btw, it would be nice to get a committee together soon. Ping me if you're interested!
