Parking Garage / Art Gallery

A 10-story parking garage soon to open in Detroit's central business district with the work of 27 mural artists from across the globe.

They said the 130-foot-wide murals inside the garage were meant to turn the parking garage into a Detroit destination. The artwork is diverse: In a mural inspired by a lazy day in the tropics, a giraffe takes a nap in a windowsill; in a mural meant to symbolize Detroit's rebirth, a tiger chases a baseball. This is just another outstanding piece in the puzzle that is the indisputable resurgence of Detroits' glorious downtown and midtown areas.

This kind of attention to the city's environment is badly needed everywhere in Detroit. Congratulations not only to the artists but to the folks who came up with this idea!
