Some good things happening thanks to the artistically-inclined folks in Macomb.

While on that subject, I have always felt that big windowless structure south of Hanson off Murray St screams "Picture Your Mural Here". Something with an athletic theme would be good. -------------------------------------------below here

Reminiscent of the "Mickey Mouse" parking lot that had to be painted over due to copyright issues.

My guess is that they've avoided doing anything with it because it's in the master plan to be removed. Eventually...someday...maybe...the plan is to have a new heating plant north of DPS/Facilities Management, towards the river, and that the road that currently curves through there will go straight through to Murray and there'll be a Visual Arts building there.

Park City, UT is probably the one place that caught my eye with respect to art throughout the city.

Sometimes, it was not even fancy, just a bunch of old worn out running shoes tied together and tossed on a tree next to the running trail, an interesting take on the "Shoe Tree".
