Southwest got its own swagger vibrant, complex, brilliantly photogenic.

These are getting up there in age so I only picked out ones that are still representative of areas pictures.

Springwells Village’s western end with its proximity to heavy industry like the Ford Rouge the area has its charm. Oakwood Heights is off the screen to the upper left corner.

Oakwood Heights was until recently a working class white holdout neighborhood separated from the rest of the city by the Rouge River. But with the expansion and retrofitting of the Marathon Refinery for processing Tar Sands oil the neighborhood was subject to buyouts due to the increased pollution in an area already surrounded by industry.
