Travel in city Detroit

The Brazilian artist Wanda Pimentel’s “Envolvimento” paintings (1968-84) are hard-edged domestic vignettes — kitchens, bathrooms, the insides of cars — rendered in a lean, almost festive palette of mostly reds, greens and yellows.

Sometimes, they’re framed by thick, windowpane-like lines that cast the viewer as a peeping Tom. “The house is not only a space of intimacy but also of fear,” says Alexandre Gabriel of São Paulo’s Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel gallery, which will present Pimentel’s work at the Independent 20th Century art fair in New York City next month.

Long considered the automobile capital of the world, hence its “Motor City” nickname, Detroit is also where Motown music originated and produced an array of stellar performers throughout the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. Michigan’s largest city, Detroit is home to storied professional sports teams while delectable, eclectic cuisine can be found throughout the city. A must-see attraction, the Detroit Institute of Arts houses one of the largest art collections in the United States.

There's a reason Michigan state parks—and their national park, lakeshore, and recreation area siblings—are so popular when the weather warms up.

In other words: everything that makes Michigan’s five national parks and 103 state parks and recreation areas so special.

No doubt other airline workers were breaking other laws during that period, but their transgressions never rose to the level of media interest or coverage. The airline business felt like a pretty law-abiding place.
