There is actually some beautiful sculpture in Detroit.

Spirit of Detroit is just one example.

The Joe Louis Monument is pretty decent as "modern art" goes.

The underground railroad monument is pretty cool.

The civil war sailors and soldiers monument is great too.

Lots of great sports statues in Detroit too. Ty Cobb, Bobby Orr, Ernie Harwell.

I was trying to find a link for where the spirit of Detroit footprints were found going to the Naked Lady Statue (I think for Gas), but my google searches failed to find it.

Too bad, it was funny.

From my feeble memory. One morning there were painted footprints for the Spirit of Detroit statue (Man) to a the Gas Lady (naked woman) just across the street (I think Woodward). No one was was ever charged but understand a bunch of students helped the police clean it up.

Wow, that is way to do a prank, and the correct non response from the city.
