In case you missed them, there were two interesting articles about the El Moore’s neighborhood that came out last week, one in Model D and one in the New York Times.
Both are thoughtful takes on a subject that our readers will know well: the significant and ongoing changes that continue to mark life in Midtown, née the Cass Corridor.

In the New York Times, meanwhile, Stacy Cowley covers an often-overlooked facet of Midtown’s ongoing revitalization: the responsive and ever-present Wayne State police department, which notably broadened its purview in 2009 to include the neighborhood surrounding the university. Read that one here.
