The colors are amazing in the mural. That’s the first thing that sticks out for me when I view it. This was another stop during our summer 2015 vacation to Michigan.
Another thing I noticed about this building where the wonderful arched windows in front. I guess you are thinking to your self, why would someone notice these things? Or who does that and who would write about in a blog article like this.
Well my friends, me of course. That’s just what keeps my sail up on a non-windy day.
What do you think about this building or mural? Please comment and share below.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
