Ransom Gillis Mansion
ON THIS DATE IN DETROIT HISTORY »

An amazing gallery of art lies along a scary abandoned rail spur, known as the Dequindre cut, running between Eastern Market and downtown.  As high as the arm can reach, virtually every surface of the undersides of the depression era Public Works Administration bridges that pass over the mile long moat are covered with spray can paintings.  Even the burnt remains of an abandoned, and quite likely stolen, car  become canvas for these proliferate artists.
