Detroit’s historic Avenue of Fashion business district sees resurgence after years of decline

Detroit’s Avenue of Fashion, a bustling business district, has a storied past. The Avenue became a destination for shoppers after World War II. Its decline started a couple of decades later. Now, a surge of new restaurants and specialty shops are filling the vacant storefronts. One Detroit’s Bill Kubota talks with Black business owners about the Avenue’s history and future.
