Scout Helps Beautify Neighborhood

Thank You to Kamryn Brown and her family for working on our park flower boxes this past weekend! They weeded, watered, and put down mulch in all 5 flower boxes in the neighborhood. Kamryn is a Star Rank Scout with Scouts BSA Troop 1104. She covered the cost of the materials needed using bottle returns that she has been collecting for her path to Eagle. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program of the Boy Scouts of America.

This project was done has part of the requirements for the special James M. Stewart Good Citizenship Award, learn more about this award here: https://jimmy.org/scouts-bsa/

Hubbard Street - SODA History

A brief history about the name of Hubbard Street 


Not to be confused with Hubbard Drive which runs East / West through the middle of Dearborn, Hubbard Street runs North / South for two blocks between Madison St. and Oxford St. in the heart of the SODA neighborhood. According to the Dearborn Historical Museum and the Dearborn Press & Guide; Huddard St. was named after Bessie Hubbard, wife of Jackson Howard Pardee. The land in the area that is now the Southwestern Outer Drive Neighborhood was once rows of ribbon farms and the Pardee family was the owner of one of those farms. 
A Wayne County map from 1893 shows the Pardee farm which was bordered by Monroe St. to the East and what is now Pardee St. to the West, another street named after the Pardee family. To the North the farm border ran along what is now Oxford St. and the farm extended West in the direction of the what is now Princeton St. up to what is now Parker St.. The 1893 map shows a structure was near what is now the Hubbard St. location, possibly the Pardee family home or a building that supported the family farm.
