I've been getting Matthew McConaughey's
Lyrics of Livin' every Friday.
You can read it or listen.
I listen because I love the sound of his voice.
Here's a quote from this week.
I've been recording 'my music of life' since Jan. 1.
I skipped a few days here and there but
I'm carrying on so I can remember it later.
Here's some tidbits from this weekend.
Had some drinks with friends and family on Sat.
Sunday we took a mini road trip to visit an
Apparently there are currently 9 Art Alleys
as part of the Detroit's
BLIGHT to BEAUTY.
I want to visit them all.
First one we visited is:
OLD REDFORD ALLEY
It's in the process of becoming
all it can be.
The surrounding area has plenty of blight
but no doubt scheduled on some list
somewhere to be demolished.

But we did find an alley of art & John
who gave us a tour and his wife's
MOTOR CITY JAVA HOUSE.
Beautiful. Colorful. Friendly.
Yummy coffee.
One of the big outdoor alley murals.
Of course we took a picture of the car!
Another beautiful mural and a water leak waiting on the city.
The ceiling fell in so now it's an
outdoor venue space with a sky view.
Plants with Potential I'd say about this.
I'll bet it will look beautiful in the summer.
I'd say our first Art Alley visit was a success for us and
I look forward to a re-visit and see all that
Motor City Blight Busters
create in the world.
