Hamtramck Disneyland

A towering, whimsical two-story folk art collage built on top of two adjacent garages by Ukrainian immigrant Dmytro Szylak [1.3.4]. It features spinning whirligigs, year-round Christmas lights, hand-crafted wooden soldiers, and pop culture icons like Elvis.

The move: Walk down the alleyway between Sobieski and Klinger Streets to marvel at this towering backyard collage, then head nearby to grab some traditional Polish paczki.
