Fake Ad and I Spy

Last month’s Fake Ad, for Mich Again Great Lakes water, was supposed to include a line at the top of the photo that said, “Summer’s hot.” Together with the line at the bottom, “We’ll keep you cool,” the words spelled out the last name of last month’s winner, “Shotwell.”

“Those are the water lilies from Ode to Huron by Tatum Lorway,” writes Dave Bicknell—the “mural made up of backlit metal panels” inside the Barton-Bandemer Tunnel. Completed in November 2025, the tunnel runs beneath the railroad tracks, connecting Bandemer Park to Barton Nature Area. “I’m so glad that for the first time in my life, bikers and walkers can access … Huron River Dr. upstream from town safely and legally,” writes Dan Ezekiel, who has biked through it several times already. For Trevor Denton, “a U-M cross-country and track alum trying to keep up with running,” the tunnel is “a game changer (however some days I do miss the thrill of jumping the train tracks).”
