STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – Sterling Heights is holding a contest to name a 35-foot golden ring that has caused controversy.
The ring, which is on M-59, cost $180,000.
It is illuminated at night and is supposed to represent what the city is calling the Golden Corridor between M-53 and I-94, because the area includes many dining and shopping options.
The ring caused a stir on social media when it was completed earlier this year. Many people commented on how expensive it was, while others referred to it as a "golden butthole."
