At some point, I’m going to add a detour off the TDH route map to the Heidelberg Project, a sui generis art project by Tyree Guyton. There’s all sorts of information online about it, so I won’t waste your time adding additional commentary to what’s already there for the looking.
I just love the Heidelberg Project – I can’t believe our former mayor Coleman (stay north of 8 Mile) Young wanted to bulldoze it.
Ok, one comment. The dark parts on this Saab 96 are sheets of copper.
A close-up of one of the pieces is below.
Go visit sometime, ok? The Heidelberg Project is on Heidelberg Street (duh) off of Mount Elliott.

I didn’t realize it was still growing and blossoming! I thought it was headed for the bulldozers!
Cool.
