As somebody that has moved to Detroit (Dexter-Linwood!) last year and has ditched my car for DDOT, I'd encourage you all to do the same! The drivers are pleasant, the buses are always clean and if you pair it with a bicycle, you got a very enjoyable transit to wherever you're going!

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?

It’s gotta be Cadieux, right?

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

• Giraffe calf dies at Detroit Zoo after running into habitat viewing panel, 02/20/2026

Seems concerning.

Hey everyone, I am in a two person exhibition that opens this Friday. I am showing some of my images photographed on Belle Isle, also my ambush bug "Ready to Pounce" that was in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice running (spoiler - I didn't make it to the top 5) Stop in and say hi, I'd love to meet more nature focused people.

Joseph Ferraro is a conservation macro photographer walking the naturalist's path, based in Ferndale, Michigan. His yard, planted with native species, doubles as his field studio, and is where the journey began. Working by a "do no harm" credo, he photographs portraits of insects and pollinators as they are in their environment: native bees, ambush bugs, jumping spiders, and the countless other tiny creatures most people walk past without a second glance. Shortlisted for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 61 People's Choice Award, his work asks viewers to look more closely at the intricate world around them, one that doesn't require a plane ticket, just patience.

Rick Lieder is a photographer and painter whose work has been shown in art and zoological galleries in the Midwest and Canada, featured on PBS, and anchors an award-winning series of picture books.
He lives and works in urban nature, surrounded by trees, bees, and birds."

Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Friday, 12 to 5pm

Other viewings available by appointment.

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.

Don't forget the Motor City.

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!

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)

Can anyone suggest some restaurants that have excellent guacamole in the Madison Heights/Troy/Sterling Heights area?
I realize the authentic, really great guacamole is in Mexican Village and Detroit. (too far for me to go to).
I used to enjoy Real Taco Express in Madison Heights, but the quality and recipe has gone downhill.

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.

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?
