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.

Location: old packard plant, just south of 94 over by hamtramick



Detroit is the city without the traffic, I like it, I kind of feel like mad max, I don’t like people that much anyway.

This is how life should be, You should be able to go where you want with out cops ticketing you for every little thing, in Detroit cops have murders to worry about not hey should we ticket that guy for doing a wheelie so he does not hurt himself. I will worry about my damn self. If I get hurt it is my own fault.

The old Packard plant is a building that is a couple miles long and it is totally abandon and no one gives a shit about it, no one even knows who owns it, we can fit in places where cars cant.
