There's one marvelous street in downtown Detroit though -- the Heidelberg Project. It's a block-long outsider art installation. The buildings are painted and decorated, the empty lots full of sculptures. I hope this link works:

Oh foof, the link didn't work, and I don't know how to make it work. You'll just have to google Heidelberg Project on your own.
