On Georgia St.

Drive down a random street in a Detroit neighborhood, and you might see just as many abandoned houses and vacant lots than lived in homes. With that said though, many Detroiters are finding hope and potential in what others might see as despair. And in a neighborhood on the eastside of Detroit, Mark Covington is trying to figure out a way to bring his neighbors together, despite all the factors working against him.

I produced this story as part of WDET's Facing the Mortgage Crisis series.
