That would be a wonderful addition to the Cultural Center!! And I'm sure that there could be some synergies between the Charles Wright Museum of African American History too. |

A lot to be learned from the last paragraph, too. "It would help to inspire people to do more community work," said 12-year-old sixth-grader Michael as he pruned the brown branches of a shrub in front of the home. "If we kids can do it, adults can do it, too." |

That has to be the longest closed structure in Detroit to still be standing: closed in 1926! |

Hey dumbfuck...The hospital operations closed in 1926, not the structure. The Detroit Medical Society has been using it for other purposes. |

Um, is it just me, or does it seem a little weird that a group of DOCTORS is scrambling around trying to raise $5,000. Can't one of them just write a check? Or call one of their golf buddies? |

Come on Dialh4, you know doctors never spend any of their OWN money! They'll find a drug company to sponsor it. |

In light of the fact that the Wright Museum is weakly supported by average Detroiters (few visitors), I wish them well... Funny how the scrappers got the historical marker... they need to make them of vinyl or wood or something of non-value. |

I agree. While doctors may not make as much as they used to, twenty doctors could raise enough money just by donating $250 each. That's only a few patient visits! |
