The Graffiti of Detroit

This is one of my least favorite/favorite things about Detroit. On the one hand, defacing private property is never good and not all of it is the most wholesome art. On the other, some of it is strange and beautiful and a wonderful way to express the spirit of Detroit. Here are some of my favorites:
This one and the next three are all a part of the same Detroit strength mural- it was huge

We have been considered many things; a city in decay, a city in distress, and without hope...However, we have never given up and we never say die. We are born fighters, we rise from the ashes. We are a community that believes in our future despite whatever anyone throws against us. WE ARE DETROIT!
