Dead bodies, wild dogs, squatters in government-owned Detroit houses
Jennifer Dixon Detroit Free Press Published 11:11 p.m. UTC Jul 19, 2018 At one end of Alpine Street, near Joy Road on Detroit's west side, Georgeia Elder and a friend live in a leaky trailer, their yard cluttered with a boat and a Cadillac Escalade with four ladders on the roof, a shopping cart and a lawn mower, a folding chair and a metal headboard. A pit bull, Lady, laps up spaghetti and gravy from a takeout container. At the other end of this short stretch of Alpine, near Tireman Avenue, a woman known as Spankie lives in a house with a dog she calls "my baby." A heart-shaped sign hangs from the front door that says "Bless Our Home." A handwritten sign instructs the postal carrier to put her mail in a box tucked into a milk crate next to the porch stairs. A scent of straw and animals hangs in the air. These occupants don't own the properties where they live.

From the archives: Half of Detroit property owners don’t pay taxes
Christine MacDonald and Mike Wilkinson The Detroit News Published 10:11 p.m. UTC Jun 13, 2018 Detroit — Nearly half of the owners of Detroit's 305,000 properties failed to pay their tax bills last year, exacerbating a punishing cycle of declining revenues and diminished services for a city in a financial crisis, according to a Detroit News analysis of government records. The News reviewed more than 200,000 pages of tax documents and found that 47 percent of the city's taxable parcels are delinquent on their 2011 bills. Some $246.5 million in taxes and fees went uncollected, about half of which was due Detroit and the rest to other entities, including Wayne County, Detroit Public Schools and the library. Delinquency is so pervasive that 77 blocks had only one owner who paid taxes last year, The News found. Many of those who don't pay question why they should in a city that struggles to light its streets or keep police on them. "Why pay taxes?" … [Read more...] about From the archives: Half of Detroit property owners don’t pay taxes

Mustang Brand Manager Mark Schaller Talks Bullitt and GT500
By now you’ve seen, read, and viewed all the news about the new-for-2019 Bullitt Mustang, introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan in January 2018. At the same show, they teased us with a video about the upcoming GT500 and said very little about the car, other than it will have north of 700 horsepower. Yeah baby! Can you say Hellcat Hunter?After NAIAS, Bullitt VIN 001 headed West to Scottsdale, Arizona for the huge Barrett-Jackson auction and television extravaganza, where it was auctioned to a winning bid of $300,000 to benefit the Boys Republic, a California-based school and treatment community for troubled youngsters, which McQueen himself once attended. Barrett-Jackson waives all fees on these special “cars for a cause” so 100 percent of that 300 large goes straight to the charity.Roving Mustang-360.com contributor Jerry Heasley caught up with Mustang Brand Manager Mark Schaller to ask him about the Bullitt and also try to pry … [Read more...] about Mustang Brand Manager Mark Schaller Talks Bullitt and GT500
