About the project

I was inspired to tell the story "8mile" staring Eminem, in a new way using Flickr and other social media sites, and through my friends and family who are all from the Metro Detroit area, I wanted to tell the story through their eyes. The guidelines are simple. 1: find photos of Detroit MI at any of these locations. Shelter/St. Andrews, Detroit stamp factory, Woodward, 8 mile road, Eastern market, Chin Tiki (don't know if it still exists), abandon homes, and any photo of downtown D. 2: type a story about the photo's. 3: send it to noah.says@gmail.com When all is said and done, I am expecting to have enough photos and stories that resonate with the actual film locations from the movie, and using the audience to tell their experiences with these locations.

Jacob Janisae

Location: S woodward, Rosa Parks, River front, ambassador Bridge Detroit MI



This used to be a good city, this sure brings up some strong negative emotions of a once, very livable city. This is what happens when an uneducated population kept voting in terribly corrupt mayors and city council members. Corporate greed cannot be ignored either...it all started with Motown Records leaving, then the sports teams (Lions & Pistons) gave up...ugh..sad!!
