Morningside’s Finest: Arttress Askew

Arttress Askew is a long-time resident of Three Mile Drive. She’s raised her children and grandchildren here in MorningSide and has seen the neighborhood grow and change over time.

I had the honor of meeting Ms. Askew, better known to her neighbors as “Ms. Clem,” when I moved to Three Mile Drive last year. Arttess introduced herself shortly after I moved in and was very welcoming. In fact, Ms. Askew has welcomed many residents to the neighborhood over the past 36 years of living here.

Ms. Askew said that her best memories of Three Mile Drive center around being neighborly. She remembers the picnics, pig roasts, and block parties that were a staple every summer.

Ms. Askew is a former Detroit Public School teacher and has been an unofficial ambassador of Three Mile Drive over the past few years. We thank you for building camaraderie over the years with your neighbors and welcoming new residents.

Your light does not go unnoticed in MorningSide.
