Temple of the American Dream in Detroit

Friends and I made a trip to the Redford Theatre in the northwest corner of Detroit on March 23 to see "Easter Parade". I happened to notice this interesting, um, thing (the structure, not the car) across the street from the theatre. During intermission I went out to photograph it, and the car happened to provide an interesting foreground.

A bit of sleuthing via Google Images has revealed that this is the "Temple of the American Dream", erected in June, 2008 by the artist David Best and his crew. Interesting background can be perused
