(The trick is to pretend that you’re texting.) There was so much to see! It’s the largest US museum that’s dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhola–not…
Read MoreMy favorite part of Detroit is all of the colors– it’s the home of street art. Each building has a million stories to tell and there are a million different ways to interpret them.
