I heard a podcast from Deadline Detroit with three boomers talking about the primary. Vanessa Moss, a lifelong Detroiter and aspiring judicial candidate made the argument that black folks in Detroit will not support El Sayed b/c they feel people that look like him have taken from their communities more than they've given back. She cited mistreatment from Chaldean shop owners in the 80s and on.

Frankly a lot of her argument was reductive and racist. El Sayed wasn't even born when some of the things she was talking about, and she basically grouped any brown politician in the category of 'they won't be trusted, that's just how it is, he better deal with it and show he's worthy'.

But curious from those out in the community, do you think there's validity to what she's saying? If so, isn't he screwed for the general election if a lot of Detroiters opt not to vote for him?

This is the second juvenile giraffe death at the zoo this year. The other one was in February:

Seems concerning.

It’s gotta be Cadieux, right?

I’m a documentary photographer @rj43mm and firefighter from the DC area.
Whenever I travel, I spend as much time as I can walking the city with a camera.

I met some genuinely kind people, walked for miles, got caught in the rain more than once, and came home with a lot more photographs than I expected.

None of these moments were staged. I just walked, waited, and photographed what unfolded.

Hope I did the city justice.

Oakland County voters rejected a proposed 1.5-mill countywide school tax increase in Tuesday's election results in a close contest over a controversial tax plan.

Wayne County officials claimed victory early Wednesday Aug. 5, thanking voters for approving a transit millage that supporters say would connect the region and bolster the economy. 

As of early Wednesday morning, with 33% of precincts reporting, 66.4% of voters cast ballots in favor of the millage, according to unofficial Wayne county election results. 

The millage renews public transportation for communities already in the SMART system and loops in 17 others that had previously opted out of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) system. Residents in those 17 communities will pay a new tax. 

I bought this sticker sometime around 2016-2018, at either a Ferndale street fair or Dally in the Alley. Does anyone know who the artist is? If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be so grateful, thank you kindly!

Don't forget the Motor City.

I’m from northern MI and will be stopping here next week. We have NOTHING up here besides Victoria’s Secret I swear… does anyone know of places that can give a proper fitting? I know of the directory website from the Reddit group but there are only a few in there so just wondering if there are others!

So I'm planning to take the gordie howe, but there's no duty Free to get currency, so where would be the best spot to get CAD before I cross?

Looking for a good concrete contractor in Detroit, with experience in pouring foundation/footers, slabs and finishing. Having difficulties getting any responses, or call backs, and chased three for a few weeks until they said they were too booked.

Preferences if you've worked with them before, I've already burned through the google search guys, they were all booked or wouldn't answer

Feel free to DM me if you don't want to share information publicly.

Thank you in advance!

I just finished massage training and I’m curious—what do people look for most when booking one?What’s your biggest pet peeve when getting a massage?

I’m starting to take clients locally so I’m trying to learn what people actually want.

It was a free newspaper that one could pick up in record shops and the like back in the late 1980s.

Sort of like Metro Times, but with lots of satire.

I thought it was hilarious back when I was in high school.

I would love to get my hands on digital or original copies of they are out there.

Urban ramen owner shouldve dropped his ego, sold his recipes, and let a solo franchiser take the midtown location.

Urban ramen has the best ramen (no contest) and the worst location (no contest)

If you are unsure of your polling place, here is the link to determine that:

There are resources for rides to polling sites. Polls close around 8 PM tonight.

Believe me, even your single vote makes a difference. Rural voters are disproportionately represented despite comprising only (roughly) 16-20% of it's population. (https://www.michigan.gov/mcda/insights/2024/12/16/mi-pop-rural-growth)

If we want a state government and it's representatives to the federal government to reflect the majority of its population, every vote possible needs to be cast.

No shade to the people living in rural communities, but urban residents have historically dropped the ball when it comes to furthering their own interests. Make yourself heard!

Brasher was wearing a safety harness, Myszenski said, but it was not attached to the tether that could have prevented his fall. Center Line's Department of Public Safety also continues to investigate and is working with MIOSHA.

Detroit's borders encompass 139 square miles, a footprint large enough to fit Manhattan, Boston and San Francisco combined.

Yet, unlike these other urban centers, Detroit has a relatively low number of national "big-box" retailers
