Here’s what you should know in Detroit culture and community this week: A mystery mural, new community center, restaurants coming soon and going all in on design.

Detail of a building made of beige stone and red brick. The storefront window has white chalk writing: “We’re open Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Coffee, Breakfast, Smoothies, Lunch, Latte, Cold Brew. Event space available for rent.” Black bike racks and a bench are on the sidewalk.
