Coyote on East Main

A clever trickster, the coyote brings storytelling full circle—painting its own scene in Southwest Michigan. Created by artist Kim Wood, this vibrant mural draws inspiration from classic literary works and Southwest imagery, capturing local folklore. 
The piece captures a playful, slightly dusty desert aesthetic reminiscent of old-school cartoons and roadside culture. Originally tied to the creative spirit of the former restaurant, the mural reflects a time when bold visuals and imaginative branding shaped the dining experience.

The artwork remains standing as a colorful tribute to the energy, creativity and character that shapes the curiosity of the Southwest Michigan explorer—to leave no corner unexplored.
