the best thing about our towns
We are excited to be partnering with Michigan artist, Katie Doucette this year. She makes these sweet subway signs that celebrate our state.
We are going to be carrying this 8×10 Michigan themed sign soon and she also agreed to do similar styled ones for our store cities, Ann Arbor, Berkley, Rochester and also Detroit. But we need your help! If you live in any of these cities or have some serious Detroit pride, we’d like to hear what wording you’d like to see on our custom signs.
We invite you to comment below. Just list the city (Ann Arbor, Berkley, Rochester or Detroit) and the the words you feel that represent the city best. (comments will appear after approval)
Thanks for being a part of creating this art!
