In this episode we look at the Shinola hotel in downtown Detroit that is about to cover a part of a great Shepard Fairey mural that he painted two years ago. In other words, we talk about business versus art… Who will win!?

Every so often a new city becomes hot. Right now, that city is definitely Detroit. Why is it hot? And who is saying it’s hot? Well, the New York Times is one of those voices. What does that mean? Are they trying to create a playground for themselves? Or is it legit interest?

And today show I’ll talk about the New York Times article posted a few days ago: Detroit: The Most Exciting City in America?  https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/20/travel/detroit-michigan-downtown.html?referer=https://www.google.com/
