On Sunday, Sept 13, volunteers gathered to paint a mural depicting the statement “Revolutionary Love,” chosen by a group of intergenerational community members as an expression of what is needed in this time. Sponsored by Bridging Communities of Southwest Detroit, the artwork will stretch 170 by 20 feet – helping connect two parks and three community organizations, all located within a couple blocks of each other near McGraw and Martin. Besides Bridging Communities – which has served the neighborhood since 1980 – the other two organizations are Brilliant Detroit (www.brilliantdetroit.org) and the Detroit Police Athletic League gym.

Kickoff to 2026
On August 20, the annual Strides for Seniors was launched at St. Pat Senior Center - featuring a yard sale, DJ Tim and dancing, and a lunch of Detroit favorites like Coney Dogs, Boston Coolers and Better Made Chips. The September long campaign promotes our neighborhood senior centers, powered by Detroit Area Agency on Aging, Detroit Parks & Rec and St. Pat. Here's a 60 second video of the excitement.
