YES!!!!! I was a kid when that store was opened, but I loved it. I think Foland's bought them out.

Where is this located?

I'm in my late 40s and I hear a squeaky sound; something like the repeat of a bird chirp. I couldn't listen to it for more than a few seconds.

I liked Dennis Archer. I think that he was moving the city in the right direction.

Now is the time for Bing to swallow his pride and bring back Warren Evans.

Kansas City has a nice one, but the people aren't as friendly.

I lived there until ten years ago. There were a few nice streets, however, the area was in decline.

Around the time that I moved, there was a feature article on the area just south of Martin...

That's interesting. Thanks for the response.

On what street did this happen?

No irony. There is a story behind it that I won't share. I stick by it; the graffiti is feral. Furthermore a lot of it is around a beautiful historic area and the ugly images do not reflect it nor...

Grand River is a nightmare to drive through. The graffiti makes the area look even more feral.

I hope that some of the "artists" are on the receiving end of the local white t-shirt wearing young...

There are many in Indian Village. On one of the tours, I noticed a sidewalk that was over 100 years old and had a swastika trade mark [[swastikas used to be a good symbol).

Also, on Commonwealth...

About time! Kim Worthy has really hurt her credibility with this case.

While my comment doesn't directly address the subject, it does touch on it.

I just returned from dinner at a friend's house. One of the topics of conversation was the coming election. I...

EEV is, aesthetically, one of my favorite part of town. The homes are absolutely beautiful.

However, the area has gone down. I moved from there five years ago. Renters began to move in and...

That was going to be my answer; Joachim Jungswirth. A lot of carvings that you see in older buildings and homes around the city were done by his company.

Oh my! Detroitnerd. I just ran across this thread. What a surprise; we agree. I have been saying for months the city or possibly owners who might still have insurance, are behind these fires.

I think that you should go back and do a little more research. It's already been noted that grafitti artists are coming from other countries and other states to "beautify" Detroit.

So far as...

As I stated, there has been an increase in graffiti from what I've noticed, forget what my friend said; I've seen it.

As I said, its your prerogative to think what you want, I go by what I know.

No, that is your opinion. If that's how 1953 feels, that is his truth. This is my truth. Um, my mind is more open than you think and I find beauty in things that might surprise you. However, you...

A lot of those buildings are vacant, so I highly doubt that they are owner approved. If you have proof, please share. Regarding the Lodge, I highly doubt that the government would provide approval...

Take it with a grain of salt, that's your prerogative.

I've lived in Detroit all of my life and have lived my neighborhood for several years.

As a lifetime Detroiter, I can say that of all of...

I would LOVE to see that happen. I can now see the grotesque graffiti from my side street. I've also noticed that taggers have now been inspired to apply graffiti to street signs, private property...

I think that your reply may have been directed to jtf1972 with whom I agree.

I'm sure that the artist are very nice people, however, I still find no beauty in their work. I'm entitled to my...

I read the article. For those building owners that approved the work, that's their prerogative. However, many of the buildings that I see on Grand River are empty.

Beauty is in the eye of the...
