Two Hamtramck Historical Commissioners work to raise fund for the upcoming Hamtramck Historical Museum. Dennis Orlowski, left, is a talented artist who devotes much time and effort into painting murals and his work can be seen throughout the metro Detroit area. Orlowski's art is inspiring, and his Polish-themed murals are spectacular (website). Greg Kowalski is an expert on Hamtramck history, and has published several books, including his latest, Wicked Hamtramck. His research into the past history of Prohibition, politics and other scandals throughout Hamtramck's history is a must-read. Check out the Commision's site (website).
