The Salvation Army/Eastern Michigan Division has negotiated purchase agreements with the city of Detroit and the Detroit Housing Commission for 30.24 acres in Detroit for construction of a 100,000-square-foot community center.

Why can't we link dynamic pages? This one had a map of the location I wanted to post.

The Salvation Army is a great organization. This should be a great resource for many in Southeast Michigan.

Used underwear for all!

So since one is being built, does that mean that there aren't any already in the city? Late is better than never I suppose.

Do you mean community centers?

Isn't there a HUGE Salvation Army center on Fort Street in Southwest Detroit?

opps, I read the article and everything, but "community center" didn't quite click.

But a community center is even better. If I'm thinking of the right area when I see that map then that isn't a bad place for one either.

wow, that is great news, i didnt think detroit was going to get a community center.

Do you mean a Kroc community center? I get this impression that some don't seem to believe there are community/recreation centers in Detroit:
