		Mexicantown is a small-scale representation of the issues confronting the whole of Detroit.
		Although the exact geographical extents of the Mexicantown were still debated from various sources, for the purpose of this design studio these were fixed from 16th Street (just off the railroad) to 24th Street across Interstate-75 in east-west direction.
		Mexicantown has had its inherent problems dated years ago when Interstate -75 was designed by bifurcating the community into two halves.

	Model D - Day of the Dead Comes Alive
		Mexicantown’s celebration this year includes fiestas and many elaborate ofrendas on display, as well as window art decorations painted by artists and children, an array of Day of the Dead goods for sale, and the self-guided neighborhood tour laid out by the CDC.
		For Susy Villarreal-Garza, a lifelong Mexicantown resident whose family has run Tamaleria Nuevo Leon since 1957, Dia de los Muertos is a chance to shatter misconceptions about the neighborhood to outsiders who don’t always know how vibrant and alive the area is. “Once you come in here, you are like, ‘it’s great,’” she says.
		And Mexicantown Bakery will sell at least 2,000 loaves of pan de muertos when all is said and done, and the numbers grow every year, Ramirez says.
