building I chose is the Castle museum in downtown Saginaw, Mi. The Castle Museum was a building that was originally constructed to be a post office. It has French Renaissance Revival architecture and was dedicated on July 3, 1898. The architect behind this building was William Martin Aitken and he proclaimed that his design for this building was to have been inspired by the early French settlement of the Saginaw Valley.

opportunity; e-government calls for interaction and sharing between all levels of government and government agencies. (Denhardt and Denhardt, 2009) If cooperation is lacking, e-government initiatives cannot be successful.

boarded doors and windows have become indigenous, not only to Rosedale Park, but to every part of the metro Detroit area. However, one thing has remained constant; Rosedale Park, no rather Detroit as a whole is still my community.

Sadly even my home has failed to avoid this list of potential foreclosures. However, I don’t see myself as a victim nor do I see myself as defeated
I grew up in a Waterford Michigan in a neighborhood called Waterford Meadows. The neighborhood consisted of middle-working class citizens, almost entirely Caucasian Americans, nuclear family households (domestic unit consisting of parents and their unmarried children), and the men were the breadwinners while the women homemakers. Today Waterford is a growing township; commercial buildings on every corner, new subdivisions, bigger roads, and high class dining restaurants. When I was a child, in the

The water crisis in Flint Michigan was a travesty of justice and could have been avoided. While examining this unfortunate incidence, the truth of what happened is clear, conscience and deplorable that the choice in cost-cutting measures would lead to contaminated water that was harmful to many. The water crisis could have happened in any town or city in America, or could it. However, Flint, Michigan a place 70 miles north of Detroit, which once thrived as the home of the nation’s largest General
Flint, Michigan is in a state of emergency, but help isn’t coming fast enough. The seepage of toxic lead into drinking water pipes has created a widespread public health crisis which has prompted President Obama to declare a federal state of emergency. The problem can be traced back to 2014 when the city started to use the Flint River as its primary water source. Flint was in need of an alternative water source until its connecting pipe to the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) was complete, so the

Social location and status set go hand in hand with where I have wound up in life and who I am. Social location is what memberships you carry because of your physical location in life. I settled down and “started roots” in Saginaw Township, MI. It is a smaller community in Mid-Michigan that is not far from where I spent the first 5 years of my life, Essexville MI. I was raised in Royal Oak, MI, and all three of these communities share about the same socioeconomics, being predominantly white, middle to
