Morningside held our annual Holiday Party at Bethany Lutheran Church on December 9. We had a great turnout, and it was a fantastic event!
In order to attract funding sources, it will be necessary for us to show strong community participation, and the easiest way to begin would be to aggressively increase the membership of the Friends of The Alger Theater with Cornerstone, East English Village, and Morningside residents.
We've recently signed a new lease with an entrepreneur who grew up right here in the community, moved away to play professional basketball, and has now returned home to open a flower shop in East English Village.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 5th annual Holiday Lights Contest – your festive spirit truly lit up Morningside Detroit!
It’s that time of year when we pause to look back at what happened in our city over the past year and consider what the coming year may bring. With the election of a new mayor familiar with city government, we can expect continuity as well as some major changes in how the city is run.
We could eliminate much of the remaining blight in Morningside if the DLBA would simply pay residents to take care of our own neighborhood. Other cities, like Flint, have partnered with organizations to maintain vacant land, and we could do the same.
Thanks all for coming out and sharing bears, cocoa, music, tours, popcorn, and friendship.

The Morningside Hub was buzzing with energy, from smooth martial arts moves to meaningful moments of gratitude, connection, and creativity.
Many people, especially those who rely on SNAP benefits, are experiencing food insecurity right now. The E. Warren community is coming together to make sure everyone has enough to eat this November.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 6th annual Morningside/Featherstone Gardens Harvest Fest on October 25. A fun time was had by all!
I have been a Morningside resident for 40 years. I am excited to share this information with you about the new Chandler Park Fieldhouse. The recreational dome has been open for 2 months, and it is a friendly, safe, and exciting facility.
