Last week, my community group went out to reassess the community of Highland Park and talk to it's residents. Our goal was to figure out what the community's biggest need was and to come up with a community nursing diagnosis. We talked to several residence, business owners, police officers, and the even the district attorney of HP. So many issues were brought up, but the top two were the lack jobs and the abandoned houses. I hope that my group and I will be able to help and make a change in the city. It was sad driving around and seeing it's struggle. I'm from Detroit and all, but damn-does Highland Park have it rough. Here are a couple pictures I took. I was not really in the mood to shoot, sorry in advance for the lack of photos. Enjoy and count your blessings as you check them out! Here is the link to my last trip over to HP
Budco - The secretive company of HP that did not let us in to make an appointment.
Almost half of the houses in the city are either burned or partially boarded up.
Notice how small the Highland Park Police Station sign is. Their station was just as small.
Some random red wall.
Now back to writing essays and studying for my final tomorrow - Kurt Belen
