MIND THE GAP : OPEN THE DEQUINDRE CUT
Proposed Dry Dock + Warehouse
University of Michigan WINTER2006 [Juan Rois]
The city of Detroit is filled with lyrics. Today, the lyrics are a spectacle. Nature has created new boundaries. People drove away from this city. Detroit still has many stories to be told.
Attempting to reuse two abandoned areas of Detroit, starting at the coastline of the Detroit River coastline, and the Dequindre Cut from Gratiot Avenue up to Eastern Market. These arease are rich with history, and have potential to be utilized by the community.
FREEWAY OF LOVE - Aretha Franklin
Knew you'd be a vision in white - How'd you get those pants so tight? - Don't know what you're doin' -But you must be livin' right - We got some places to see - I brought all the maps with me - So jump right in...Ain't no sin - Take a ride in my machine - City traffic movin' way too slow -Drop the pedal and go...go...go - Goin' ridin' on the freeway of love - Wind's against our back -Goin' ridin' on the freeway of love - In my pink cadillac -Goin' ridin' on the freeway of love - Wind's against our back - Ain't we ridin' on the freeway of love - In my pink Cadillac? Never you mind the exit signs - We got lots of time - We can't quit 'til we get To the other side - With the radio playin' our song - We keep rollin' on - Who knows how far a car can get - Before you think about slowin' on down -City traffic movin' way too slow - Drop the pedal and go...go...go
