I was thinking maye I could get a federal grant, for renovating and a staff. If this is not the way to go, and you already have something in place, please let me know. I can be reached at 586-339-2792.

According to our Director of Recreation and Land Bank personnel, no one from any organization has spoken with them about Johnson Center or the Higginbotham School. It is still in it's current status of being maintained by the General Services Division.<br /><br />In a partnership with the 8 Mile Old Timers Association, we will continue the Push with Pro Tem Cushingberry for the Unity in Our Community by facilitating the reopening of recreation centers in the City Of Detroit.<br /><br />We are on time and on track to re-energize our neighborhoods with viable recreation centers and a strong Department of Recreation that will give our children better things to do.<br /><br /><br />If you have any questions call us at (313) 224-4535 <br /><br />We will see you on Sept 14th at the Church<br /><br />Richard C.

According to some men observed walking around Johnson Center on Thursday that U of D Jesuit High School and Academy purchase both Johnson Recreation Center and the closed Higginbotham School. Therefore, by the end of August, they will start refurbishing these buildings by the end of August. As a result, no facility in this neighborhood where individuals, particularly our youth can go for constructive activities, thanks to our previous (Bing) and current (Duggan) City of Detroit administrators.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098628720355488554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239126983486357275.post-88073024711566793062016-08-16T07:32:40.265-04:002016-08-16T07:32:40.265-04:00We used to play basketball there all the time and ...We used to play basketball there all the time and there boxing program was great please let's get it back open the youth of today needs Johnson's Recreation CenterIrving Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239126983486357275.post-40429890353985209752016-08-12T10:43:47.798-04:002016-08-12T10:43:47.798-04:00I used to go there for tap dancing lessons, swimmi...I used to go there for tap dancing lessons, swimming outside, rollerskating and other activities.
