CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO: http://www.plumstreetmusic.com URBAN ECONOMIC ANATOMY The Boston-Edison District developed as one of Detroit's "Gold Coast" neighborhoods during the 1910s and 1920s. The area contains many of the largest and architecturally significant surviving homes in the city. Many subdivisions in Detroit were built during the "auto industry boom" of the 1920s. With a design for a sixty-year useful life (the expected length of the economic boom) these small frame homes were built economically on lesser-value land.
In contrast, islands of affluent neighborhoods developed throughout the city through the 1950s. These Silver- and Gold-Coast neighborhoods have become historic districts.
However, many more modest neighborhoods have been designated historic and are being saved from oblivion.

Haven't got that far yet. As you can see, I had to use a lot of Google Earth shots. Unfortunately, My plan is to replace shots with my own. Also, I used Jerald Mitchell's Walking Tour as an outline. I want to expand on that. I am open to suggestions for notable homes west of the Lodge to add to the video.
