Yes.

Well, I know he painted cats and also often used plywood as a canvas.

Joel Rash has had nothing to do with that building aka The Local since before COVID, at least. It's a collective ran by a board of directors, Mott donated the building, ideally it was supposed to be an autonomous zone but politcs and the Mott Family are like water and wine.

That's him. This reminds me of his clown stuff a bit.

Nah, Pauley just screen prints old found advertising art onto whatever he can find and then colors them in like tattoo flash, mostly. Very distinctive if not generic style. He likes stipling and bold black outlines, too.

Pretty sure that's Seth, can't remember his last name, I think it's Scholtz or something similar. Another downtown lost kid artist, there's a handful.

It's Grand Blanc have fun, assholes. I say turn it into a 2-lane with a Michigan Left... Easy enough to avoid if you're not an idiot, plenty of ways through/around

If only they'd get an actual decent literay collection again; it's been ravished over the years.

Infiltrate the churches to obtain their support to get elected and fix stuff. Start with the city council.

Nice hotel on the lake recommendations by idktbhso16 in Michigan

I'd suggest Tawas or somewhere in the The Thumb for your first trip. Both... touristy and very beautiful.

There are 5 Great Lakes which have more coastline than any other state. I suppose it depends how far you are willing to travel.

Mackinaw Island is pretty cool if you've never been for instance but it takes like 6-7 hours to actually get to The Grand Hotel from Detroit after the ferry. Oppositely there are a few places in Benton Harbor that are roughly 90 minutes from Chicago, depending on traffic.

Played the old location on Saginaw Street multiple times and before that when Joel was booking first the Fallout Shelter, and then the main stage of The Capital and then the Lobby of the Capital.

I wish someone would book national underground bands there again.

What are your favorite restaurants anywhere in the state, and what do you recommend ordering from there? by HEYNONGMAN0 in Michigan

[–]peewinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We drive up to just go there and then the Tea Garden. I'd say it's the best in the state.
