When I read Julie Hind’s tweet yesterday about a new inspirational short video about Detroit, I quickly selected the link.

Some background: I live in metro Detroit, but many of my activities, friends, and clients are in the city.

Our Metro Detroit WordPress and Refresh Detroit meetup events are held in the city.

And before the COVID-19 outbreak, I was birdwatching in Detroit several times a month.

Created by London-based artist Richard Wilson, the 8,000-square-foot mural is something Wilson felt so committed to, he painted the mural on his own money. Estimated cost: around $10,000. Continue reading Photo of the Week: Stevie Wonder Mural at Detroit Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts
