From drug dealers to ritzy art galleries, Detroit artist Tyree Guyton has come a long way

DETROIT — Before turning a ravaged Detroit street into a work of art in 1986, Tyree Guyton confronted drug dealers who were ensconced there. If they wanted to sell drugs, they should become a doctor, he told them. If they wanted to carry a gun, they should join the Army. Being an artist, Guyton transformed his message into art, painting a series of crosses up and down Heidelberg Street. The young criminals began calling him the Voodoo Man. The Voodoo Man, who spoke during a solo exhibit Saturday, has come a long way. Back then, his Heidelberg Project was derided by many as an eyesore. Today, his work is shown in major collections around the world. He attributed the success of the long journey to courage, not just in facing down drug dealers but to picking himself back up every time someone told him he wasn’t any good. “They way to fix it is to fix yourself,” he said. “You have to fight for this. Most people are not living in the world today. We are in a world of confusion, a world of conflict.” Quoting abolitionist Frederick Douglass, he said that, without struggle, there is no progress.

Animal welfare group finds deer with plastic pumpkin on its head

An animal welfare group found a deer that had been spotted with a plastic pumpkin on its head in western Wayne County communities after searching for the animal for over a week. "We are so, so relieved right now," said Kelley LaBonty, director of Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG). "That was amazing." Bruce Township-based DAWG, a nonprofit "no kill animal sanctuary," found the deer in Hines Park in Westland and had to tranquilize it before removing the bucket from its head. In a Facebook post Sunday morning, DAWG had asked anyone with a heat-sensing drone to go near Hines Park to "help save a deer." The deer had had a plastic pumpkin stuck on his head for 10 days and was "very emaciated and getting weak," the group said. Later that day, when it was getting dark, someone sighted the deer, LaBonty said. LaBonty, DAWG's veterinarian and another person followed the deer through the woods and waded through a river four times. "He was giving us a run for our money," she said. By Sunday evening, DAWG said in a Facebook post that the animal is a "young button buck." He was moderately dehydrated, and IV fluids were given to

5 Best Restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Ann Arbor, Michigan — a city where the red-brick streets pulse with the footsteps of students and professors, where the Huron River winds through neighborhoods stitched with memory and hope, where murals bloom on alley walls and the scent of coffee, curry, and barbecue drifts through the air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Victorian homes with wraparound porches, glassy new towers, and the gentle sprawl of parks and gardens. Ann Arbor is a crossroads — of old-timers and new arrivals, of artists, engineers, and dreamers, of families who picnic on the Diag and musicians who busk beneath the sycamores.
