Art in the Stations: Grand Circus Park
Grand Circus Park is my third stop in Art in the Stations, and the Detroit People Mover I frequent the most. Connected to the David Whitney Building, Grand Circus Park is also home to the D2A2 bus to Ann Arbor, the QLINE, and several DDOT and SMART connections.
"Catching Up" by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. is one of my favorite sculptures on the city, and perfectly representing the bustling Grand Circus Park station. I smile every time I mistake him for a real-life person; the life-size statue resembles a passenger waiting for the morning train.
The Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News are both featured in this work, carefully detailing each word on the bronze newspaper pages.
Check out the Grand Circus Historic District and my own favorite spots in the neighborhood.
