U.S. photographer uses Twitter to highlight some of Windsor's architectural gems

The U.S. photographer behind a popular architecture social media account is focusing his lens across the border to Windsor.
Detroit-based Josh Lipnik runs Midwest Modern, a Twitter account that profiles compelling architecture in the U.S. midwest. He also sells prints of his work online.
In a series of recent posts, Lipnik takes his nearly 89,000 followers to well-known sites in Windsor. Those include St. Peter's Maronite Church, Chrysler Hall at the University of Windsor and the Yorktown Square sign.
Some of the buildings he showcases, like the Hiram Walker head office and Willistead Manor, were designed by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn.
"I've seen so much of his work in Detroit," he said. "It was interesting getting to see that whole area of town on the other side of the river."

Sarnia City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday morning to respond to social media comments made by Coun. Bill Dennis, who criticized city spending on a new mural by Indigenous artist Kennady Osborne as “virtue signalling by woke politicians” — then made a series of comments in response to a reply from Aamjiwnaang Chief Janelle Nahmabin that some have characterized as unprofessional and aggressive.
