Something Awesome at the Imagination Station!
Today we had a fantastic day at The Imagination Station!
We’ve been trying to get 2236 (Lefty) torn down for quite sometime… not quite there yet (more on that soon). But today we had a workday that we left feeling completely exhausted, damp, filthy, and oh, so good!
We were one of a couple sites for a large network of volunteers and ended up with about 50 people at the Imagination Station and Roosevelt Park. The people that came into our site were fun, interesting, passionate, and ridiculously productive!
Our volunteers cleaned up the entirety of Roosevelt Park, weeded the gardens in front of the Train Station, tore out *all* of the drywall in Righty (2230 14th Street), AND got to watch our friends Ben and Andy pull down the back half of Lefty with a truck!
So a huge thanks to everyone who came out and worked at Roosevelt Park and The Imagination Station! A very special thank you to Ben and Andy, all of the media crew who came out to document…. Dan Land, Nick Farrell, Donna Terek, and Alan Languirand! Mad love to Catie Newell and her father for all of their work! Enormous thanks to Christ The King from Southgate, particularly Becky Buettner and Mitchell! And we don’t even know how to thank Phillip Cooley for the direction, resources, and ridiculous hard work!
Our Volunteers.
Mary and the Media Makers!

Catie, our very rained on, yet still very cheerful, artist.
Thanks for making awesome things happen guys!
We’ll be back there tomorrow! So if you’re in the area (Dad, I’m calling you out!), we have plenty of work! 10am-5pm 2230 14th Street Detroit, Mi 48216…. See you there!
