    It was sold to somebody who opened up a soul food place there within the past year. No word on if the new place is any good. Will miss Milt's great BBQ.

    Thanks for the advice. However, I know I don't need an accountant or lawyer for this. I also know from experience that when dealing with the city of Detroit, make copies of everything, certify...

    It would really be nice to have the layoffs rescinded, yesterday! Nothing like getting called back just days before teachers are supposed to report back to school.

    They definitely weren't delivering the newspaper--the Freep and Det News only have home delivery on Thurs-Fri & Sunday.

    I've lived in EEV for nearly a decade now. I still like living there, but the neighborhood has taken a few hits over that time--foreclosed homes, an increase in crime, etc. However, we still have a...

    I appreciated the graphic, but it's too bad there wasn't a way to indicate which way the transitional areas [[in yellow) are heading.

    Ravine, remember that there's no way he could have possibly committed the crime; he was the former president of the Rotary Club, by God!

    While I wouldn't want a neighbor to be responsible for a murder, I'd prefer it to a random killing where the murderer is still on the loose. If this was a completely random event, I'd be terrified...

    My hope is that in the future, Noel Night will be expanded to Noel Weekend. A four+ hour block of time to see so many great places and events is not even close to enough time for this type of event....

    Thanks for the helpful responses.

    Just to clarify, we can get a good 4 camera system for $500-600, but then the installation is an additional $150 or so per camera [[so add another $600)...about...
  21. Looking for security cameras/installers

    Thanks to an issue with a nearby neighbor, my wife and I have decided to invest in some security cameras and a DVR for recording the footage they capture.

    Unfortunately, we've experienced some...

    Compared to most other professions where you need a college degree, and then have a Masters degree on top of that, I think "shitload" is a bit of an extreme description.
