Detroit Summer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For fourteen years, Detroit Summer has utilized a variety of strategies in the
pursuit of its mission to "rebuild, redefine and respirit Detroit from the
ground up." Intergenerational political discussions, community gardening,
community dinners and events, poetry workshops, mural painting, building an
"art park" and other innovative projects have been used as tools for empowering
Detroit youth to re-envision Detroit, its past, present and future.

Back Alley Bikes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back Alley Bikes is a collectively-run community bike shop that has been
rebuilding and repairing bikes since 2000. The shop is located in the Cass
Corridor Neighborhood Development Corporation complex at 3611 Cass Ave., just
north of MLK Blvd. Back Alley Bikes currently offers a weekly Community Drop-In
where you can learn from a skilled mechanic how to repair or rebuild your bike.
The bike shop also offers both youth and adult Earn-a-Bike programs. If you
don't have time to learn how to rebuild a bike for yourself, Back Alley Bikes
also offers a selection of refurbished bicycles for sale.
