Today’s featured artwork comes from the local artist known as Coreroc, who was the mastermind behind the recent C-Note Art Show. We actually picked up this three-piece set at the C-Note Show and have them waiting to hang in our dining room (which we’ll also be painting soon). We’re going to do an accent wall [...]

Some Rust Belt Cities Plan for Shrinkage
