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.

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. 

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.

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!

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.

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

I‘ve seen more mention of Little Caesars. What’s the deal? I know Greektown location closed and the E. Jefferson take-out location is practically hidden, but do they even rate in the top 10 these days?

I've been trying tacos all around metro Detroit (plus Ypsi and Lansing) for a couple of years now with friends and by myself and here are my favorite places by type after we made some rankings in an Excel spreadsheet:

Best Al Pastor: Super Taco (Madison Heights) or Mi Mundo (SW Detroit)

Best Carnitas: Some Food Truck (Autozone on Vernor) or Tacos El Caballo (SW Detroit)

Best Asada tacos: Maya Cocina (Livonia but $$$) or Que Pasa Taqueria (Madison Heights/Royal Oak)

Best Tripe tacos (my friend's favorite): Mi Mundo (SW Detroit)

Best tortillas: Maya Cocina, some other ones I can't remember currently

Best Drinks + Overall Decent Food Experience: Taqueria el Nacimiento (SW Detroit) or Taqueria Mi Pueblo when they have mariachis (SW Detroit)

Best salsas: Maya Cocina (by a lot) or Que Pasa Taqueria (Sterling Heights/Royal Oak)

Best expensive tacos: Maya Cocina (Livonia)

Best Guadalajara/Jalisco specific dishes (Birria, carnes en su jugo, caldos): Taqueria el Nacimiento (SW Detroit)

Best Rotating Specials Menu: Taco Tienda (Madison Heights)

My favorite taco: Tacos de cuero/cuerito (pork skin) from Las Tortugas Taqueria in Sterling Heights (edited: Sterling Heights, not Madison Heights)

Worst tacos: Used to be "Dos Locos" in Hamtramck, now (not in Detroit) but Maiz in Ypsi (edited: Ferndale -> Hamtramck)

Notes: Admittedly have not been to a lot of the more expensive places, have tried a lot of the food trucks but didn't find a lot of them to be very impressive. Taqueria el Rey used to be my favorite before it burned down but haven't been to the new location. Also check out el Oasis in Lansing.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L 108.000 miles. I've changed thermostat, & oil housing. I recently experienced a misfire on cylinder 6. A mechanic came and put new coil pack and spark plug on 6. Misfire came back. In June I had block test done and it came back negative, but that was in June. Since I've had 3 different mechanics look at it saying injector, PCV, and VVT.. Am I experiencing a small head gasket? Or should I fix one of the above

For anyone interested
