Eastern Market Murals

I spent a lovely day being a tourist in Detroit with my daughter and her boyfriend. The market itself was full of interesting things to purchase, but the murals were definitely not to be missed.

This amazing art show is free to the public and just like a museum, it is concentrated in one small area.

If you’re visiting Detroit, Check this out on Adelaide Street, even if the markets aren’t open, the nearby stores are fun and the murals are worth viewing in person.

The fan below hangs inside one of the sheds at the market. Also, the music store provides an opportunity to jam with others every Sunday. And as the sign says, you can always be a player. 😎🎶

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
