Weird Detroit: Heidelberg Project Gives Life to the Abandoned
OBSCURIST TOURIST 153 - The Heidelberg Project is one of the most inspiring pieces of art in all of Detroit. The brainchild of artist Tyree Guyton - who returned to his beloved street in Detroit's East Side in 1986 - the idea was to bring Heidelberg back to what it once was. As much of a personal goal as it was a project that would unite the entire neighbourhood, Guyton was intent on changing the perception of this area of Detroit. Utilizing the abandoned houses, refuse, discarded items, and even the street itself, the group spent years painting, building, and integrating what was found and old into something new and truly unique. And so, the Heidelberg Project was born.
Come along with me as I explore this wonderful, living art installation.

    They filmed mad love with drew barrymore and chris O'Donnell in that exact same building back in the 90's. (Drew Barrymore was very rude to everyone including the waiters at los arcos.)

    lived in Sierra Vista in c. 1963. Tombstone was all dirt but then it was on 70 yrs since OK.... Naco was all dirt too. There was a section will 6 or more bars. Wood sidewalks, posts to tie a horse too. Girls were $5. Most bars were dark with a 20 watt yellow light bulb kind of flavor. One place was lit up like the carnival lots of red and white.... I was 15 and never partook. I rode my 3 speed bike from SV to Bisbee when I was 14... Going thru that tunnel was kinda scary 'cause it was wet and I was gaining speed without pedaling. Bisbee was a poor miners town. When we played football there were talks of rumbles and such but nothing happened. The mine pit seemed huge then. In 1987 I visited and it looked like a hole in the ground.

    I can't believe I'm seeing this! My husband and I stayed there the weekend before Halloween 2023. Our house was being fumigated and the Amargosa was the place that allowed dogs. They changed some furniture around in the common area. It looked much cleaner. Our room, while similar to yours, had paintings of life size circus performers on the wall and ceiling. Your bathroom was much nicer too. There were other guests when we stayed there. Mostly European and just passing through. Thanks for the tour of the opera house. It was closed when we were there. While it's super creepy I too slept really and didn't experience any paranormal activity. We still joke about it today. Great post!

    All I could think of while you were showing those stone heads was the part in The Planet of the Apes where Charleton Heston discover the head of the Lady of Liberty in the sand. If that was me there, I would half expect a talking ape to come up behind me.

    I went there in the seventies and saw her performance. It was long ago, but I clearly remember it... They offered apple pie after the show in a café setup next to the theater... A very interesting thing to be reminded of.

    Most of this is trash and not art. What the town could do is Keep the best. Every year have a festival. Artists compete building displays. Best display is kept. Others are publicly destroyed in creative way.

    • @ObscuristTourist
      @ObscuristTourist 5 днів тому

      Absolutely agreed. Most of this installation is just the results of hoarding and slapping some paint on it. There are definitely some interesting and cool pieces, but most of it is just trash - as evidenced in the opposition to it by locals. I do, however, like that there is some attempt to bring it back to life. As misdirected as it may be on some level; I champion the effort over just letting the street rot (as many others around it have).

    One of those "Bushnell" old fashioned carousels is in what used to be called "The Puyallup Fairgrounds" but Washington state bought it out from the family that owned it and it is now called "The Washington State Fairgrounds". But I always loved just sitting nearby it and I think the rides were kept at a quarter a ride. I loved the music. The carousel is still there, and they have upgraded the fairgrounds because Washington state has more money than the family did. So it turned out ok, except you really can't sing the "Do The Puyallup" song when fair time arrives. (This song is stuck in every single Washingtonians mind who was born before 2012)

      When this video was made, the property was in flux with ownership, so there was no security whatsoever.

It’s a massive property, so I’m sure it’s possible to get in and explore without any trouble. Just be aware.
