The Dog House of Heidelberg Street

This is one of my favorite images from my visit to The Heidelberg Project in Detroit some time ago.  It is an amazing outdoor art project in what was a wasteland especially after the '67 Riots.  Having grown up in Detroit and being there during those riots, I had wondered if the city would ever recover.  Re-use, re-purpose, found art.  This is an amazing place.
The video here is from a recent segment on CBS' Morning Show.  It is only five minutes long and tells the story of the Heidelberg Project that grew in a neighborhood not far from where my great-grandparents originally settled in the early 1900's.
