Detroit's Dexter Avenue is back!

After a $21 million renovation, Dexter Avenue has new businesses, a new recreation center, and lots of new neighbors!

Dexter Avenue was one of the homes of jazz in Detroit: Miles Davis and John Coltrane played at jazz clubs on Dexter dozens of times. In 1963, Ed Davis opened the first Black-owned Big Three car dealership in the country, at Dexter and Elmhurst. Two years later, Ed Vaughn opened Detroit's first Black-owned bookstore up the street. And all three Supremes moved to Russell Woods, right around the corner — Diana Ross and Florence Ballard across the street from each other.
