An article in today's Free Press profiled Susan Mosey, the President of the University Cultural Center Association and a multitasking advocate for Midtown over the last few decades who has been involved in everything from beautification to building preservation to fund-raising for development projects. Scott Lowell, the co-owner of Traffic Jam & Snug, says she is "probably five-eighths of the reason the neighborhood looks the way it does." Mosey is also involved in the Live Midtown program.
Something else I learned -- Apparently the coordination between WSU, Henry Ford Health System, and the DMC on the Live Midtown program is part of a larger project called the Midtown Partnership. The goal is to get 15,000 people to move downtown or downtown-adjacent (Corktown, Midtown, Woodbridge, etc.) by 2015, a plan which is appropriately named the "15 by 15 initiative" (Crain's Detroit).
