Kenneth Morgan, a Gulf War veteran, returned to Detroit four years ago after 30 years away. He left when he was nine years old, traveling the world with his military father, but chose to settle his family in Detroit because, he says, “it’s home. There’s no place like home.” Morgan, his wife, Robin, and their children, Gary Effler and Kenneth D. and Korey Morgan, are renovating a duplex they bought on the East Side for $1,800 plus back taxes.
Great hopefulness, and many changes coming here in Detroit. The central core is reviving, but unfortunately the city was built for 2 million residents and has 700,000. Many houses are abandoned, as are some entire neighborhoods. Thankfully my church is in the middle of all the revival. The Detroit Tigers Comerica Park 250 yards to our south, Lions Ford Field a block behind that, and the new hockey arena being built 250 yards in the opposite direction. http://www.stjohnsdetroit.org
