The "Spirit of Detroit" statue is one of the most famous icons in the city. It's often shown in the lead in to major sporting events (like Monday Night Football). Another interesting thing about this statue is that it is often seen wearing a jersey for the local team. Any time the Tigers, Lions, or Red Wings play in the play-offs the local government dresses it up in the corresponding uniform.




created by Marshall Fredericks and located at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on Woodward Avenue in Detroit.




It was commissioned in 1955 for a cost of ,000 (equivalent to 3,195 today), and dedicated in 1958. In its left hand, the large seated figure holds a gilt bronze sphere emanating rays to symbolize God. In its right hand, is a family group symbolizing all human relationships. The 26-foot (7.9 m) sculpture was the largest cast bronze statue since the Renaissance when it was first installed. It was cast in Oslo, Norway.

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause you crossed my mind, you crossed my mind
Made my blood thump Saturday night
Make my heart beat double time
Now I'm only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause you crossed my mind, you crossed my mind
I'm a penny in a diamond mine
We could be movers,
We could be shakers
If we could just shake somin' outta the blue we could get off the ride
I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on your fruit stand?

G-g-g-go home, go home it's over
G-g-g-go home it's over
Done with the 100mF2.8L at ISO 1600 F2.8 and 1/800sec at the october fun fair in Mannheim.
