Saturday in Bloom

The city is looking good for the NFL Draft!

There is a new fountain coming in at Hart Plaza, so I checked that out on my way to enjoy some time relaxing by the Detroit River.

"I'll do the cutting here‼️" 🖤💖✨💎🐈💎✨💖🖤 @sergiomazzotta3 took this sweet picture at the Detroit Riverfront of my Bombshell Catwoman. 💎 It's so beautiful there. I look forward to doing a photoshoot with him again some day. 🖤 I've been a big fan of Catwoman since I was a toddler. I loved how powerful she seemed even without powers. That was really inspiring to me as a little girl. I also found her so beautiful 😍 🖤💖✨💎🐈💎✨💖🖤 #dcbombshells #dcbombshell #dcbomshellscosplay #dcbombshellcosplay #dcbombshellscosplay #dcbombshellscatwoman #dcbombshellscatwomancosplay #dccatwoman #dccatwomancosplay #catwomancostume #catwomancosplay #catwomancosplayer #dccosplay #dccosplayer #dccosplayers #dccosplaygirl #dccosplaygirls #selenakyle #selenakylecosplay #catwoman #catwoman🐱 #catwoman😻 #catwomanmakeup #catwomancomics #detroitriverwalk #detroitriverfront #michigancosplay (at Detroit Riverfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmA28R0DZmk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m back the Detroit River. Two miles first time out. One problem, though, I gotta walk back. Ugh! #detroit #detroitriver #detroitriverwalk #dequindrecut https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxTSYTMIR4/?igshid=1m14w0urqv162

Reimagining the Renaissance Center

While working on my "Art in the Stations" blog series earlier this year, I began familiarizing myself with the Renaissance Center, home to General Motors.

I never had a reason to walk inside before, so after researching the art in the People Mover Station, I decided to start roaming around the towers- and discovered how empty they were.

I envisioned apartments, shops, cafes, and new restaurants occupying all the empty space. The location is perfect for a walkable neighborhood, yet the area seems to shut down after 5PM. The Riverwalk is one of Detroit's true gems, and I can't think of a better place for a new community in our beautiful city.

I've chatted with others about this over the past few months and was met with resistance. "GM would never let that happen," they would say.

I've also biked through blocks of cement and nearby empty parking lots, also owned by General Motors (and home to the Grand Prix), imagining parks, trees, and bike paths along the Detroit Riverwalk. As I look at all the unused space, dreams of placemaking and streets for people filled my mind.

The RenCen has been the headquarters of GM since they purchased the towers in May of 1996, but it was recently announced that they will be moving into the Hudson's building in 2025.

So, what is next for the Renaissance Center? I chatted with Radio Free Urbanism about this on their recent podcast, and it was interesting to hear their perspective about these iconic John Portman structures.

Who will purchase the towers? How will they occupy the space? The future is unclear, but there's amazing potential to create a beautiful neighborhood for the city to enjoy.

Let me know what you think!

“Detroit Princess” I think this was shot in 2012 or 2013 with my iPhone 4. It’s was posted back around that time, I know this for a fact because the only image I have left is the IG square format, a result of having my account set up to delete the original image after posting it on IG. Took about 6 months before I realized how insane that was; as a result I lost hundreds of pics from when I moved back to the city in 2012. When I first saw the Detroit Princess I thought she was one of the Bob-lo boats that had been saved. I was pretty disappointed to find that she wasn’t. And now, the Bob-lo boat that WAS supposed to come back to the area was destroyed in a fire a few years ago. It’s surreal getting old.

"I'm a woman and I can't be taken for granted." 🖤💖✨💎🐈💎✨💖🖤 As a little girl I was fascinated by Catwoman and I loved her😻 I still find her fascinating and love her at times. It depends on how she is handled. I like her best as a sexy badass feminist character. 🖤 📸@sergiomazzotta3 took this awesome picture at the Detroit Riverfront of my Bombshell Catwoman. It's so beautiful there. I look forward to doing a photoshoot with him again some day. 🖤💖✨💎🐈💎✨💖🖤 #dcbombshells #dcbombshell #dcbomshellscosplay #dcbombshellcosplay #dcbombshellscosplay #dcbombshellscatwoman #dcbombshellscatwomancosplay #dccatwoman #dccatwomancosplay #catwomancostume #catwomancosplay #catwomancosplayer #dccosplay #dccosplayer #dccosplayers #dccosplaygirl #dccosplaygirls #selenakyle #selenakylecosplay #catwoman #catwoman🐱 #catwoman😻 #catwomanmakeup #detroitriverwalk #detroitriverfront #michigancosplayer #michigancosplay #midwestcosplayer (at Riverwalk And State Park Lot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfC-RjcDlq2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
