South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />regular Meeting - February 4, 1994 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />c. continued... <br />TINA POLACK: 1010 S. Michigan. What I <br />can't understand is, if you tell me that my <br />area is blighted, what do you do? You go <br />around and pick and choose who goes, who <br />stays? You picked Transmission. They're <br />staying. They've already reconstructed. The <br />church, I'm sure, is staying. The Feed and <br />Seed on Broadway and Michigan is staying. <br />How did they get to stay? They're in the <br />blighted area, aren't they? Or was there a <br />fence put up between these places where <br />they're not blighted? Can you explain that to <br />me? Why do you want my property? Any <br />of you. Tell me. If you were in my shoes <br />and I was sitting behind that desk, you'd <br />ci6so� wonder, too, I'm sure. Now you answer my <br />questions. Tell me. Why? What's there <br />about my property that you want? <br />TINA DEKA: I'm here for two reasons. <br />Because of my family. I, too, live on <br />Michigan Street. 3404 S. Michigan Street. <br />Further south of my parents. I was raised in <br />this house at 1010 S. Michigan Street and <br />never in my dreams did I think I would buy <br />another house on South Michigan Street, but <br />I ended up there. I love my home. It's a <br />main artery into the city of South Bend. We <br />get a lot of traffic down there, especially with <br />the Notre Dame games and a lot of out of <br />town people. But take a drive down South <br />Michigan Street. This is supposed to be a <br />great impression of South Bend. You go <br />down a way and there's The Torch, the Kitty <br />Kat, two 24 -hour porno shops, the homeless <br />shelter, Ramona's, Hope Rescue Mission. <br />-34- <br />
