Map: Envisioning a More Connected Detroit
by: Dan Seiderman One of my biggest complaints about navigating Detroit is how disconnected the streets are. On foot, by bike, or in a car, getting around the city can be unnecessarily confusing because of the division caused by the freeways, the mash-up of different grid systems, and the inconsistent development patterns.  In addition to my personal experience, a lot of the inspiration for…

Michigan's first trails were not made by native Americans but ranging buffalo herds in migration. This was especially true on the St. Joseph trail in Southwest Michigan. The major trails in lower Michigan tended to link Indian settlements of Mackinac, Detroit, Saginaw, and Niles. The area around Saginaw had the most native American settlements in the Great Lakes region.
Noted below are native trails that we travel everyday.
Shore Line Trail - A minor trail starting near Toledo and hugging Lake Erie's shore, the Straits of Detroit. Past Fort Gratiot and Lake Huron to a spot near White Rock. White Rock was considered a solemn spiritual place of offering. Today this route is mirrored by Lakeshore Drive from Detroit to Lexington and M-25 north. This trail continues north along the entire shore to Cheboygan. It was considered a minor trail as travel via canoe was preferred along this route. Michigan chose to utilize much of the original Native American trail along Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay to create M-25. Paving of Michigan's First Scenic Highway was started in 1933 and completed in 1940.
Saginaw Trail - One of the oldest trails, this Sauk trail system, went from the Straits of Detroit to Saginaw. Today this starts at the Detroit River and heads northwest up Woodward Avenue to Pontiac, then continues up Dixie Highway through Flint to Saginaw.
Sand Ridge Indian Trail - An ancient trail from Saginaw to Port Austin in Michigan's Thumb. Used primarily for access to the rich hunting ground of the Thumb. Today, M-25 follows much of the same route. However, the old trail is still evident and marked as Sand Road in Huron County. A major canoe passage across Saginaw Bay occurred at Oak Point via Charity Island to reach the AuSable River.
St. Joseph's Trail - A major east-west system called Route du Sieur de la Salle and the Territorial Road. When the Territorial road was first built from Plymouth to St Joseph, a portion of the road was ‘corduroy.’ which means wood lo

This structure, located on East Bethune, between Woodward and John R, is all that remains of the then-Hamlin Avenue Police Station, designed by Louis Kamper. Built in 1898, it served as headquarters of the 9th Precinct - this building housed the Mounted Division. Unfortunately, when the 9th Precinct closed in 1954, the main building was subsequently demolished. The Mounted Division stayed behind. The old stables have been on the market for several years. #Detroit #NorthEndDetroit #Chateau #FrenchRenaissanceRevival #VictorianArchitecture #LouisKamper #archi_ologie #deserve2preserve #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at North End) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqnc660OlgZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Peacock Inspiration
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My heart has been so full of inspiration this past week.
From the Guardian Building blues and greens to the beautiful Peacock tile at Pewabic, I realized how drawn I am to this color combination.
Back in 2022, I created an abstract design named "Blair," which has been sitting inside my art cabinet, barely noticed. I got her back out yesterday and was inspired to try my hand at a new watercolor.
After visiting the DIA yesterday, I realized the beautiful synchronicities between the Peacock feathers at the Woodward entrance and my own entryway at home! I found these Peacock feathers at Premier Pet Supply downtown on Washington, but even at under $2 each, they were far too beautiful to let Kiko play with them.
I repurposed my Christmas tree stand and decided to create an arrangement a few weeks ago; and subconsciously, I think I had this Peacock in mind all along! She is still a work in progress, but it has been a lot of fun to create.

There's more Peacock inspiration, too. After researching the art in the Detroit People Mover Stations, I learned about James McNeill Whistler’s paintings, who had designed “The Peacock Room” at 49 Prince’s Gate in London, owned by British shipping magnate Frederick Richards Leyland.
The room was preserved in 1904 by Charles Lang Freer, who installed it in his home at 71 E. Ferry Avenue. The original wall is now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Mary Chase Stratton, co-founder of Pewabic Pottery, was a friend of Freer, and created the original peacock tile for his home.
I have visited The Peacock Room at The Park Shelton, but had no idea the origin of the name. It's amazing how art leads us to history and stories that brought us to where we are today!
You can visit Joyce Kozloff's Whistler-inspired peacocks at the Financial District People Mover Station Downtown Detroit.

Woodward avenue - p. o’ward
Tumblr media
masterlist
pairing: pato o’ward x fem!reader
warnings: talks of Detroit(but I’m from here) + minor anxious thoughts + implications of the future
a/n: I was the target audience for this fic 😅 so enjoy my self indulged fic! xx
the automotive business wouldn’t be what it was without Detroit. pato knows that, it’s why he’s wandered the streets of downtown Detroit, to pay his respect to those workers who created the business they have today. without Detroit, there couldn’t have been an Indy car, nascar, or even formula one. the automative business bloomed here, and now Indy car will race it’s straights and turns once again.
he’s not one to wander too far from the track, but the graffiti on the buildings and the smell of chili brewing grew his curiosity. he wandered the streets, and now began to wish he didn’t go alone. it wasn’t a scary city, he’s seen far worse, he’s now lost looking up at the Woodward street sign.
not a helpful soul roams the streets, just the drunk homeless man who mutters words to himself that are completely useless with directions. he’s lost hope, as he knows he’s got to be at the track in thirty minutes.
“let me guess, you wandered too far down Woodward?” your voice startled him. he turns around to see you standing there, an annoyed look on your face. you didn’t hate that indy car was back in Detroit, but you did hate the obnoxious sounds of the engines that interrupted your morning and afternoon.
“something like that.” he shoves his phone into his back pocket following you down the street. you weren’t too inviting to him, but he needed a way back to his motorhome, and he was sure by now people were beginning to be suspicious of his whereabouts.
“you a fan?” you point to the mclaren shirt, an automotive company you were well familiar with seeing. the cars were too expensive to be outsourced from Detroit, but your fathers dedication and passion to the fancy cars, helped you single him out on the street.
“a driver actually. and I need to be on the grid in thirty minutes.” he checks his watch nervously hoping you’re not leading him to a sketchy parking lot or a white van, but he somehow knew he could trust you. maybe it was the fans and the news casts that made him believe all Detroit native were good people, but he could certainly say he was weary about you.
“oh, a driver? my dad would be so jealous right now, he loves Indy 500– or whatever is filling up these streets.” you gesture to Woodward, closed down until the Grand Prix was done. it pissed more than half a dozen people, but you got a good view from your apartment of the circuit.
“Indy cars, actually, but you get the gist.” he heaves out a chuckle under his breath.
you take the chance to glance over at the man you were helping. your morning walk to get coffee was interrupted by a strangers confusion in his eyes, you were instantly drawn to help him.
two pieces of the mop of brown hair fall just above his eyes, the ones that lured you in. you look back over to the street when his eyes flicker to meet yours. you smell the burnt rubber, tires burning against the shitty pavement of Detroit.
“so first time here?” you ask, out of the corner of your eyes you see him nod, “yeah, actually. I was just trying to take in the city and got a little too lost.” he replies, rubbing the nape of his neck with his fingers.
he takes a look at you now, lips formed in a soft smile as the cool breeze lifts your hair off your back. you love this city, and he can tell by the wave you give to the local drivers who stop.
“who’s this? a new boyfriend?” an elder man pulls to the side of the street pointing out pato. the man knows your kindness runs too far, but seeing the McLaren shirt he knows why you’ve helped him in the first place.
“he drives, and he’s not my boyfriend.”
“I’m pato.” the man waves from behind you to the driver in the car, your dads best friend who nods, smile widening on his face.
“indeed you are my friend. good luck out there!”
you watch his car drive away, before you turn to man beside you, “pato? I like that name.” you gesture for him to continue to follow and he does, allowing you to take the lead like the last time.
“it’s short for patricio, but I don’t know your name, you know?” he looks over at you, brown eyes glimmering in the sun that begins to increase in temperature as you continue to walk.
“y/n.” you stop pointing to the barriers that begin to line the sidewalks, “and I’m afraid this is where we part ways. if you follow the path you’ll find the entrance. good luck today and tomorrow.” you point to the barriers that line the sidewalks and the stands that you see in the distance.
“what would you say to me inviting you and your dad tomorrow? you said he’s a big fan, I’d love to have him in my garage.” his offer excites you, but you know what your father would say. offering a strange man a walk throughout the city, and then an invite to the McLaren garage? he’d think you’d gotten drop kicked on the sidewalk.
“I don’t know, he’ll question why you aren’t my boyfriend—“
“then tell him I am. what’s he got to know?” he smirks watching you open and close your mouth a couple of times.
“he knows you’re pato o’ward and if I was dating pato o’ward and didn’t tell him I’d be the worst daughter ever.”
“then you’re not dating pato o’ward. you’re dating just pato. the guy you met on Woodward.”
“dad, this is pato. I met him on Woodward yesterday—“
your dad scoff cuts you off, and he happily shakes the drivers hand, “pato o’ward, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m impressed with your work.” he beams with excitement, a thrill that runs through the drivers body knowing he’s made somebody proud today despite his finish.
“thank you, sir. your daughter helped me out a lot yesterday.” he flashes you a wink, one that your dad doesn’t catch because he’s too busy taking in all the mechanics, cars, and other sights in the garage. you couldn’t believe pato did this for you, matter of fact, for your dad. the man who got you into racing in the first place.
“you know, you come here again I can show you around all the auto factories? y/n can show you downtown Detroit— you know what you didn’t see.”
you laugh at your dads excitement reminding him pato has better things to do. he’s got a busy schedule, and racing came first. you spent a couple of hours last night doing your research on the Indy car driver, he wasn’t interested in much else beside racing.
“dad, he wouldn’t want to come back here I’m sure—“
“there you go again, assuming you know me.” pato tsks you shaking his head, that same smirk that drove you insane all last night forms on his lips, “sir, when can I come back? I’d love to join you and y/n.”
“I like you, pato. have you ever thought about dating anyone? my y/n is perfect for you.” you watch your dad pull pato aside, arm wrapped around his shoulders as he talks highly of you.
you just roll your eyes in embarrassment watching pato look over his shoulders and send you a wink. the universe works in mysterious ways, and you can’t believe it led you to pato o’ward on Woodward, the man you can now call your boyfriend.

I got a small request 👉🏾👈🏾 if anybody can plz make a video for me with side by side chapters (Markus Demonstration+Connor with the army section) using a timer to see if there's a way of gettin' a aprox. event start time, for example:
Start BATTLE FOR DETROIT: CYBERLIFE TOWER, (wasting around 12 minutes til BATTLE FOR DETROIT: CYBERLIFE TOWER FLOOR -49) count 8 min and start BATTLE FOR DETROIT: DEMONSTRATION ON WOODWARD AVENUE (another 12 minutes til BATTLE FOR DETROIT: BARRICADE - MARKUS) then start BATTLE FOR DETROIT: CONNOR VS CONNOR after around 11 minutes. I mean, the itself game ain't time sensitive here, doesn't work in a realistic way but i guess y'all got what i'm trynna say.
