Among other things we checked in on Little Village’s new high school, the future site of Enlace’s Immigration Services Center, several mural projects in collaboration between youth and business owners, housing and businesses, and a soccer tournament in the afterschool program at Farragut, a Chicago Public School.

Can’t wait to play host to our friends from Chicago to show them around the neighborhood and organizations here in southwest Detroit.
