Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Hazel Park, Michigan

It all started here.

Detroit Free Press, 7/19/2018

Hazel Park was probably once best known for its now closed harness racing track, but in the past few years it has gained a bit of a cool factor with the arrival of trendy restaurants, bars and coffee shops, such as Mabel Gray (the Free Press restaurant of the year in 2017) , Joebar and Dark Matter, on John R between 9 Mile and 10 Mile. 

"That place is exploding," Realtor Jerry Hall said in a Facebook message. He said his agency, KW Domain in Birmingham, just closed on a house in Hazel Park last week.

Hazel Park's population peaked at 25,361 in 1960. Its 2017 estimated population is 16,489 -- a drop of 8,872 (35%).

Incorporated in 1941, the City of Hazel Park is located in the southeastern corner of Oakland County and borders Detroit to the south.
