Motor City Blight Busters Recap

I'm not sure where to start but here I go. As I drove into the city I didn't quite know what to expect when I arrived at the Offices of MCBB where a Saint  named John George and his Army has been making a difference in Detroit for 20 years. Once there I witnessed will over 100 people assisting in tearing down a home that had been a gathering point for homeless and drug users in the area. From a Male's perspective wrecking a house is great fun!!! The day only got better; BD's Grill furnished lunch, I was able to see many of my friends from MCC, and I got to meet several new members. I was also reminded that there are still several jewels in the city AKA The Redford Theatre, walking into this place reminded me of the days when $.25 bought you a double feature movie complete with cartoons. As we walked out of the Redford there was an aroma of fresh baked goods; it was the local bakery that makes Sweet Potato pie pastries. I had to stop and pick some up for desert.


The bottom line / moral to this story is: If not for MCC, Terry, Charlie, and Drew my Saturday would have been just another day, by organizing the work party they motivated several of us to come out and help make a difference.


Terry: I hope you took the time to read this in it's entirety; now you should understand my Thank you comment.

Thanks for the video Mark, now my boys can relive their day, they didn't want to leave. It was a great way to help the community and I look forward to the next time.
