The MOST POLLUTED Zip Code In Michigan: Oakwood Heights & Boynton Neighborhoods, Detroit 5K.

Рет қаралды 36,997

Күн бұрын

In 1930, the Aurora Gas Company built an oil refinery in Southwest Detroit. Today it's owned by the Marathon Patroleum Company, and the refinery is one of the 48217 zip codes biggest culprits, helping it become the most polluted zip code in Michigan for decades. The Oakwood Heights neighborhood is nearly.

After seeing the terrific River Rouge video I wanted to see what is next door. I was not disappointed. The drone work is not just top notch, it is essential to understand what has so hurt this area. What an incredible narration! The street work is almost head spinning in demonstrating relatively nice neat areas just a block or two from marked abdonment and garbage dumps. The amazing care and detail illuminate in a comprehensible way what went so wrong..

I grew up in Melvindale back in the 1950's. I remember when Aurora caught fire. Melvindale and the surrounding area's where evacuated. Police cars drove down residential streets, notifying residents over loud speakers( bull horns) to leave. Quite exciting for a very young boy. I have enjoyed your series on Detroit. Keep up the good work.

My Mom died of cancer and I know we were never warned about Marathon ( about 1 mile from my house). We had no idea that there were so many chemicals in the air and we just got used to that awful smell.

Great video. I grew up not to far from there in nearby Ecorse and River Rouge @32:50. I used to spend summers with my dad in the Boyton neighborhood around mark @29:25 . Most people there never called the neighborhood by its proper name. We typically refer to the area by its cross streets like Fort and Schaefer or Fort and Visger etc... Fun fact: You will be surprised at the number of Detroiters I've met from the East and West Sides that don't know that Detroit city limits go south of the Rouge River. Many people equate SW Detroit with just Mexicantown.

THIS is my neighborhood. Going down Electric, had you not turned left on Visger and kept straight, you would have driven right past my old house. Liebold is pronounced LEEBOLD. I have to save this video because these are the streets I grew up on. To the right of visger & Electric was a record store called Shake it Well records and the building to the left, that had the pollution mural was Downriver Lounge. Boynton School was on Fort St and on Fort St between visger and Francis is/ was my old church Greater Bethlehem Baptist. What a beautiful tour of my old neighborhood. Thank you for the memories and the update.

That ball shaped tank was indeed a Detroit Tiger baseball for as long as I knew it. Marathon was also the biggest sponsor for the Tigers and was constantly mentioned by George Kell, the voice of the Tigers. I never hung out in any of the areas you drove thru here. There just wasn't any reason to go there. All the downriver area was looked down upon by the suburbs to the north, north east and west. Melvindale, Ecorse and River Rouge were then looked down upon from the other downriver towns like Allen Park, Lincoln Park and Wyandotte. I had friends in all those and did hang out there quite a bit especially Captain Ahab's in Wyandotte.

When we moved into the Oakwood neighborhood in early 1960, it wasn't bad. Most people took care of their property, but as the years went by, it got worse and worse. Crack houses, etc. We moved out in late 1969 when it was just beginning to slip. Continued to stay connected with people there until the Marathon buy-out. My ages then were 10 to 20. Sounds like a prison sentence but I have a ton of memories!

Hindsight is 20/20, and it's easy for someone in 2021 to be sanctimonious about things that weren't known 90 years earlier. For all your bashing of Marathon, I'm sure they pay a significant amount of taxes to the city of Detroit, and you'd be lamenting the economic impact if they closed the refinery. Buying out houses in semi-abandoned neighborhoods and converting the areas to green space strikes me like a pretty cost-effective approach to solving the problem.

I think that's an excellent idea too. Those old houses themselves were a hazard, with asbestos and lead even mold if they weren't properly maintained, and they weren't. The City gave up on that area as far as roads, etc. Most of the time the streetlights were burnt out and not repaired.

Also as a sidenote, that was the bridge where several people were massacred during the attempted unionization of the Ford Rouge Plant- I used to live literally a stones throw away, on the west side of the river on the first side street on the north side, 200 Colonial. It was a BEAUTIFUL Brick apartment building built in the 1920s- it had a "Murphy Kitchen"- a stove, sink and refrigerator that was hidden behind 2 doors, had an extra "Murphy Bed" in the living room, and a spacious bedroom in the back.

I worked at the Rouge, Ford poisoned the area with their coke ovens, and iron foundry an unbelievable amount of air pollution. my dad worked in the DIF for years in the 60's. The fly ash from the smokestacks would pit the paint on your car. Living downwind in Oakwood heights you had to keep your windows closed or that dust would be in the house. I worked in the Coke Ovens in the late 70's when all the ovens where still in operation. for a year as a millwright apprentice. Nasty place , you would get dirty time 25 and out instead of 30 because if was agreed that place would shorten your life. now the place is gutted, I don't hardly recognize it.

@ChrisHarden 2 жыл бұрын

How am I bad talking Detroit? Can’t handle the truth? Do you think that this area is good for peoples health?

Dude what does a white neighborhood has to do with how toxins, pollutants affected the health of so many people in the areas that the author is speaking of. Marathon and others didn't set up shop near white neighborhoods. So many people from this area had suffered with cancer, MS, tumors and so many other health issues. Why do you have a problem with Chris exposing the truth? These companies didn't care about the people of Detroit.

Detroit has no "white" neighborhoods to speak of, though it does have some diverse neighborhoods (particularly in the northwestern part of the city) that are livable. OTOH, property taxes are high, because poorer neighborhoods bring in less revenue.

I don’t think people would be interested in seeing footage of well manicured lawns, clean streets and well kept homes in the white neighborhoods. After applying the last coat of paint on my white picket fence I like to relax and observe Detroit’s squalor from the safety and security of my white neighborhood. The citizens of Detoilet should put down their blunts and pick up a garbage bag. Don’t like your environment? Clean it up and take some accountability!
