Project Description

Featuring color, music, and nature in both idea_01 and idea_02 – it captures Detroit’s deep and ongoing connection with music (Motown, techno…etc.) and Detroit is very proud of that. While living within the city - it is easy to forget how beautiful and important the nature and its inhabitants are to the community it surrounds. It is our job to make sure the city and nature intertwines in a healthy way for all of those who reside within it. The fox, and birds and many more animals that are local in our community provides kids with wonder – but also provides learning how we interact with nature in a healthy way. When we think of summer here in Detroit we think of bright colorful pink sunsets and blue skies. Some of my favorite memories growing up are being with friends, music and having a pop in my hand at the beach, bonfire, or being with friends on a hot summer day.

It’s all fun and games until your battery gets stolen. My simple advice is - ALWAYS opt IN for the insurance with any lift rental. A battery was delivered to me by sunbelt within the next hour same day for $50 vs. without the insurance could have been $500.

I proceeded to take the battery in and out every morning/night until sunbelt came to pick up the lift again.
