Midnight at Lucy's old house (6 Mile & Davison), New Years 2012.  Starts around 11:57, and it is obvious when the New Year rings in.  New neighbors seem to be keeping up the traditions of the old neighborhood pretty well.

Lucy New Years 2012.(20 MIN)

Detroit 2011 begins around 1 minute before midnight at Lucy's old house off 6 Mile on Detroit's East Side. Track continues for approximately 40 minutes after midnight, but the shooting continues throughout the night.  This year was a rainy one, so things died down around the city a little earlier than usual.  Lucy just turned 90 and is still going strong, unfortunately the old neighborhood isn't doing so well.
