After more than 20 years of service, Morningside’s old signs have been retired and replaced with three new ones.
Thank you to everyone who attended our 6th annual Morningside/Featherstone Gardens Harvest Fest on October 25. A fun time was had by all!
I have been a Morningside resident for 40 years. I am excited to share this information with you about the new Chandler Park Fieldhouse. The recreational dome has been open for 2 months, and it is a friendly, safe, and exciting facility.
The door-to-door trick-or-treating that many of us remember so fondly from our childhoods has been replaced in many Detroit neighborhoods by trunk-or-treat and organized parties. Not so for the Audubon Block Club.

The foundation has been laid, the lot has been cleared of old and non-functional infrastructure, and fencing has been installed to ensure our neighbors’ safety. We’re also proud to announce the completion of the below-grade rough plumbing, which is a key milestone in this journey.
If you are driving along Alter you may notice a lovely explosion of oranges, yellows, and whites as you pass by Bronda Perkins home.
Morningside Cafe offers more than just coffee; it has become a gathering spot in our community. So, when the cafe was broken into in late August for the second time this year, it had a dampening effect on its many patrons.
The Brilliant Detroit Morningside Hub recently concluded six exciting weeks of our Sci-Fi Mystery Summer Camp, where imagination and learning came together in creative and engaging ways.
Ever since the Cannon Recreation Center near E. Warren and Cadieux was demolished in 2006, District 4 residents have been the only City Council district without an indoor recreation center.

Lawrence Purifoy might very well be a Ford Motor Company executive today instead of Commander of the 5 Precinct if he’d gotten a different phone call back in the summer of 1996.
A new ADA compliant elevator; a new ADA compliant rest room; working water to the building; complete white-boxing (with red accent walls) of retail spaces; installation of Ava DuVernay mural commissioned by Desiree Kelly to rooftop deck; heat and air conditioning to retail spaces; and polished concrete floors. And that’s not all…
Many people, especially those who rely on SNAP benefits, are experiencing food insecurity right now. The E. Warren community is coming together to make sure everyone has enough to eat this November.
