The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan is providing a grant for $48,000 towards a planning study with NW Goldberg Cares. The planned study is called “Reimagining Ferry Park.” The study is to help residents vocalize what businesses they would like to have within the commercial corridor on Ferry Park street between Holden and Lawton. So far NW Goldberg Cares has created three pocket parks, including a literary park funded by Detroit Future City. NW Goldberg Cares is a business community-led group actively seeking to maintain the viability of their neighborhood. If interested in the Reimagining Ferry Park project, you can attend any of their virtual meetings.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – A Metro Detroit woman is turning 110 years old and she’s celebrating with a weekend of parties all around town. There aren’t many people who can cuddle with their great, great grandchild, but for Holden it’s love that’s been her secret to longevity. She remembers her love of children, love of the Lord and love of life as she celebrates her 110th birthday. Holden was born in 1910, while William Howard Taft was in his second year as president. Holden has one son, two grandchildren, three great grandchildren and six great, great, great grandchildren.
