Cass Corridor is a neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan.
It is the location of:
- Ghetto Recorders, Jim Diamond's aptly-named recording studio; The White Stripes was recorded here and De Stijl was mixed here.
- The Gold Dollar, where The White Stripes played their first show. Dedicated to showcasing eclectic local music from then-up-and-coming bands. Closed in 2001.
- Cass Technical High School, which Jack White attended.
- Detroit Masonic Temple, which contains The Masonic Temple Theatre, a concert venue the White Stripes have played at more than once.
Cass Corridor is unfortunately well-known in Detroit for its seedy, bohemian atmosphere. It was as rough as it could get in Detroit in the 1970s - 1990s, but the area has since been mostly gentrified, and the murderous, carjacking crackheads have been replaced by much less dangerous homeless people. Recently, the area has been experiencing an era of resurgence. Many of the old commercial buildings are being converted into lofts, and many young people are moving back to the area for a taste of “urban” living.
