Since I’m going to be spending a lot of time in Redford
around the holidays, I thought I’d do a series called REDFORD RAMBLES. My mother
has this dream that someday I’ll buy one of the (extremely cheap) houses on
their block and we’ll live harmoniously a few yards away from each other. Now,
that would be cool, but it begs the question: what could compel me to live in
Redford again?
I’ve said many times that I would not move back to Redford, the
reason being that there simply isn’t a lot for young folks without children to
do there. It’s not a function of being an inner-ring suburb—there are places
like Ferndale where I could see myself putting up shop. But the Ferndales of
the area have something my old hometown just does not.
So this Christmas break, I want to explore. See if things
have changed, it there are more interesting things going on in that old
township. Figure out exactly what would have to change to compel me to live
there. I will take pictures. It will be a big project. Do stay tuned.
Oh, and if you’re not too familiar with the area, you can
start at the convenient Redford Township Wikipedia page!
