The Cass Corridor, is a neighborhood on the west end of Midtown Detroit, Michigan. It contains the Cass Park Historic District and the Cass-Davenport Historic District. The corridor's main street is Cass Avenue, which runs parallel with M-1 (Woodward Avenue), a main Detroit artery running north toward New Center. Though Cass runs from Congress Street, ending a few miles farther north at West Grand Boulevard, the Cass Corridor generally is defined as between Interstate 75 (I-75) at its southern end and Interstate 94 (I-94) to the north, and stretches from Woodward to the east and to the west: John C. Lodge (M-10 service drive) north of Temple, and Grand River Avenue south of Temple.
Significant landmarks include the Detroit Masonic Temple (the world's largest building of its kind),Cass Technical High School, and the Metropolitan Center for High Technology are all located along Cass. Little Caesars Arena, currently under construction and set to open in 2017 as the new home of the NHL's Detroit Red Wings and the NBA's Detroit Pistons, is on the west side of Woodward Avenue near I-75.
Culturally, the Cass Corridor is a significant district. Creem, which billed itself as "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine," had its headquarters in the area. The student population contributes to the bohemian atmosphere in Cass Corridor. The artistic community has produced a number of significant artists, including The White Stripes, who played their first show at the Gold Dollar. Cass Corridor is also the location of the annual Dally in the Alley arts festival.
