Detroit Lives

Nothing makes me more excited than when things are happening. When out of death and decay comes life. That is exactly what seems to be going on in Detroit. What I love about this film is that it gives hope. One of the memorable lines in the movie is where a fella says that in an established city like New York City its hard to have a say, but in Detroit, people like 'starving artists' can really treat the city like a blank canvas and make it a more human place to live versus the post-industrial freeways that have divided and conquered the land.

Play Day! (a collective group that helps bring back play)

Have recess again and enjoy playing.
Join the group if you ever are looking for a basketball game, a street hockey game, a soccer game, or volleyball game, etc. Join and people can arrange play dates where anyone who wants can come play.

The goal is to create a giant database of people looking for a game. So that if you're every dying to play a game of soccer but don't have the contacts, you could then come here and join or post a group discussion for your chosen sport or game.
-First let people know the sport and location.
-2nd once enough people join, someone can set a date and location. Then when enough people confirm, have a play date and just play.
