I’ve always appreciated the hand painted chrome-style lettering all over Detroit and had no idea all these signs were done by one guy
For the past month, I’ve been working on a project to map out and document the work of one of the most prolific storefront sign painters in the US - this is Detroit’s Ron Signs

A one-minute sample of Diego Rivera’s astonishing “Detroit Industry” Murals, which are spread across all four walls of Rivera Court at @DIADetroit. Spend half an hour in this remarkable room and you will take in just a fraction of its visual treasures.

In a few weeks, Chicagoans will make a critical decision about who should next lead our city. This is a crowded and complicated race, and after giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided to endorse @Brandon4Chicago for Mayor.

So close to me, yet I had already made plans for Saturday midday before I heard about this. If you live in the 30th & you care about building safer networks then come on out.
The fight for protected bike lanes & safe streets is personal. Join me for a bike tour through the 30th ward plus a day of action canvass to reach our neighbors about the bike infrastructure we need in this city and the resources we'll fight for! Sign up: bit.ly/joinww30.
