Come with Me, Through the DIA
Posted May 11, 2016
Great emphasis is placed on the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) marvelous collection of art. But not enough emphasis is placed on the building itself and how to best view the art. The museum can be an intimidating and confusing place. It doesn’t have to be like that for your visit. The late architect Michael Graves created a better flow for museum visitors by creating a first and second floor corridor and redesigning the interior of the museum.

Life Essentials
Posted May 11, 2016
The DIA… it’s so close and yet… when you step through its doors, the museum takes you to another world of color and expression filled with beauty and emotional power. It helps us understand why culture and art are important and compelling to each one of us as human beings. This place at Woodward and Kirby is a celebration of inspiration right here in our own backyard. It’s where you can feel what the artists felt and discover the same world you’ve always known through a different set of eyes.

“I’m an Eastsider!”
Posted April 22, 2016
Now that spring is here and the birds are singing, it’s exciting to get outside in the open air and enjoy playing in the sun. Whether you say Eastside or Macomb, that’s what it’s all about. It’s getting an ice cream and hanging around Metro Beach or making a day trip to charming downtown Romeo. There are so many great places to go and see, it reminds me why I love being an Eastsider. This county that stretches north of 36 Mile, and reaches east to the beautiful shores of Lake St. Clair is full of wide open spaces and whatever your heart desires. It has so much to offer with so much going on, just go in any direction and you’ll see.
