{"product_id":"detroits-grand-river-greenfield-neighborhood","title":"Detroit's Grand River \u0026 Greenfield Neighborhood","description":"Grand River Avenue and Greenfield Road marked the center of a community bustling with retail, recreation, faith, and civic pride during the 1950s. Once a rural farming village, the neighborhood gained popularity following the World War II housing boom. New schools were built, local businesses filled storefronts, and the area prospered for 20-plus years until suburban life, facilitated by new superhighways, beckoned white, middle-class residents and business owners to abandon life in the city. Like a microcosm of Detroit, the neighborhood echoed the trend commonly called white flight. Today, strip malls have replaced national retailers and once well-manicured homes are in disrepair; however, another wave of dramatic change is promised as the city targets the area for urban renewal.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1540236323\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1540236323.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McCauley, Joseph\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43334762463293,"sku":"BVV.1540236323.VG","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/detroits-grand-river-greenfield-neighborhood","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
