The view on Canfield Street, which has seen an influx of new businesses in recent years.

On Tuesday, news came over the wire that Detroit-born rocker Jack White had teamed up with Shinola's Tom Kartsotis to purchase 441 W. Canfield, the home of Shinola's flagship store. The purchase will allow White to create a Detroit branch for his Nashville-based Third Man Records, while Shinola will continue to operate within the space.Suspiciously absent from Third Man's press release : The word "Midtown," a name that has become synonymous with that neighborhood's recent redevelopment. Indeed, White instead refers to "the Cass Corridor," a name often more associated with the neighborhood's seedier era — and related art movement — and not often used since the rise of Midtown.When we talked to nonprofit Midtown Detroit, Inc.'s Sue Mosey about neighborhood branding earlier this year , she explained that "Midtown" wasn't meant to replace a tarnished "Cass Corridor," but rather unite the Corridor under an umbrella that also includes neighborhoods like Art Center and Brush Park.Yet anecdotally, we've noticed a sort of psychogeographical border develop between the concepts of "the Cass Corridor" and "Midtown": "When they build a condo, they say it happened in a place called Midtown. When there's a shooting, they say it happened in Cass Corridor!"When asked for comment, Third Man employee (and native Detroiter) Ben Blackwell replied, "The neighborhood will always be the Cass Corridor to us."
