Downtown Street Art

New Welcome Mural

A Welcome mural on this railroad overpass has just been completed.




Planter Boxes

Planter boxes along the streets downtown are whimsically decorated.

More Murals



Gnomes at home on a mural next to a surface parking lot






Windowpanes in Color

In winter the Snow Bears are made of snow (at least they were years ago).


A beer at Bill’s (for Elizabeth’s Party)

Skyspecs is a service for inspecting wind farms via drones.
I like the drone depicted on their shop window.

Downtown Home & Garden


In the Neighborhood


AND: at the Olympics (on my TV)

Can you see the mural on the seawall behind the Olympic windsufer?

Finally: From Evelyn in Hawaii

There's some fantastic murals in Ann Arbor. It must be fun to walk around and see them. I love in the woods so I might see a wild animal or trees. Grin. Happy new week. hugs-Erika

Hi Mae! Superb share of so many beautiful murals in this post - thank you! I can assure you the height constraint mentioned on the bridge gives me confidence I won't bump my head :)
Is there some semblance of the Pink Panther in that bear or is it just me?
When you get a chance, go back to Taos-NM. There is tons to see.
Take care.

Gorgeous murals, especially the flowers and the musicians. Really LOVED Zingerman's. Don't often see handicapped represented, so that was special. And of course, Bill's Beer Garden is perfect for T this week. I don't often get to say that in conjunction with murals, so thanks for sharing.

The murals certainly brighten up the urban landscape. I like the gnomes at home. Very cute and cheery

Murals are a great way to enliven austere urban landscapes. Some are incredibly creative too.
