Flower bed at Grand Circus Park
View of garden bed at Grand Circus Park; "In Detroit, life is worth living" is spelled out in flowers. Park visitors sit on benches; buildings visible through trees in background. Printed on front: "In Detroit life is worth living." Printed on back: "In Detroit life is worth living. This floral display is located in East Grand Circus Park, the oldest of Detroit's breathing grounds and is situated in the center of the city's retail district. Magnificent shade trees are everywhere, real monarchs of the forest that started to grow even before a white man set his foot on what is now the state of Michigan. The Park was set aside in 1854 under the general redistricting of the city. In the foreground Detroit's slogan is brought out very prominently in beautifully colored foliage."
