The East English and Morning Side area are some what friendly; where some neighbors will come and introduce their selfs and welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood. When my family and I move into Morning Side the neighbors around us we very welcoming. As new neighbors we had questions on how's the neighborhood far as violence/crime. We wanted to make sure the neighborhood was safe to live not only for us but for our children as well.
I would say in Detroit specifically with the aAfrican-American community a lot of the times we look at older people our elders and we treat them with a lot of respect. I feel like with the community side of things the elderly gets that respect that they need a lot of the times, but I will say I don't feel like there's a lot of activities and programs for the elderly to come together and mingle or interact with each other.
Some neighbors are polite and generous around the area
Because I'm A great Candidate For This Position An Very Nice Person.
Clean and quiet neighborhood
