    Thanks Lowell!! I wish Midtown would do the Detroit Festival of the Arts again. It was a bummer when they stopped that, about 15 years ago. I guess having it on the streets around the Museum District and WSU made it impossible to charge admission, and it probably didn't make enough money to make it viable to put on.

    Now with Midtown more vibrant than it has been in over 60 years, it's a pity they don't restart it.
