Dr. Murray Feldman on Michigan is the way to go.

He is next to Yellow Tigers Karate, kind of near Prince Valley Supermercado Gigante.

I got my eye exam there on a walk-in basis for $20 with no...

I can second Buddy's. When a friend with Celiac's visited me here in the D, that's where we went. They have a whole separate gluten-free menu and were very helpful and happy to answer our questions....

"A community center could also have a larger geographical draw. A HP municipal library doesn't seem to make sense, unless it could also serve other nearby communities, because there are almost no...

Just to add to what others have said, a friend in Chicago is moving to Madison, WI, this summer. She looooves it, and is already finding plentiful job opportunities [[in the library field, but still,...

The decision to move is so personal, it's kind of tricky to tell you what to do.

Portland is not without its problems, as another poster noted. The economy in Michigan is worse overall, but it's...

There is going to be an informal DETSOTC watch party at the Painted Lady in Hamtramck. DETSOTC on the big screen and ridiculously cheap drinks. It's at 2930 Jacob.

Everyone is welcome.

If you...

I hadn't heard the -tucky suffix before moving here, but it's charming.

A lot of places seem to have something like this, the stereotyped backwoods foil to that place's self-labeled civilized...

Was that DFD for sure, not another municipality?

That was so much fun! Does this happen on the first non-New Years Saturday every year? Maybe next year I can borrow a truck and collect some of the...

A holiday People Mover would soooo be feasible. I had been working on organizing that or another theme party aboard the People Mover, but then I had to move four times in the past year and had a car...

Damn, that is some pro material. What a mess. I still don't think it's as bad as St. Louis's brick theft, though. Where I am from they steal walls with an icepick and a pickup truck. [[Crap, I think I...

So, as an... I'll say it, as a stupid hipster* who semi-recently moved here, allow me to note that I've been meeting other creative/bookish young people who also did so in increasing numbers. But...

"No, Highland Park is surrounded by Detroit and pretty much deals with anything that Detroit is dealing with. East St. Louis on the other hand, while part of the St. Louis Metro area, is across the...

StL and Detroit have many parallels. They're neck-and-neck in certain measures of violent crime, vacancy rates, population loss, and baseball. Curiosity about Detroit-as-a-rusty-sister-city was what...

SWMAP, if you want help boarding up that building, I'd be glad to join you. I don't have a truck and I'm not that strong, BUT I could borrow a drill and pitch in nonetheless. I know it should be on...

Does anyone know if Wayne State has any other demolitions for vacant lots planned, besides this and the commercial building at Woodward and Warren?

Obviously neither of these were super duper...

Pushtina, got it!

Ed Golick, out of curiosity, when did DPS dump their collection? I'm just wondering because the public school library system where I'm from only did it fairly recently, and they...

I could look at it if you'd like--not saying I'd know, but I used to own a 16mm projector and curate a series. Maybe I could figure something out.

Ebay is probably the best, or small libraries...

Does anyone have any news on the effort to fundraise for the rehab of this building?

I live pretty much right at the spot you all are discussing. It's not perfect, but it's not the worst. I had a job working with the homeless in the past, so I guess it doesn't bother me so much. I...

Illegal dumping is a problem in my native St. Louis. It's not as bad as it is in Detroit, what with the trash piles and boats, but it's pretty bad. My favorite is the jerks with concrete trailers who...

To echo others, THANK YOU ANONYBOARDER!

Kathy2trips, much agreed. With a number of abandoned building visits under my belt, I still was really upset after my visit to the Vanity.

canuck, I...

Bowing like that doesn't mean the building has to go, necessarily. The top few feet, if not the entire top floor, would need to be taken down and relaid by a mason and his/her crew. And safety...

reddog289, do you think it would keep people at bay at least for a while? Maybe not the determined, but a few opportunists? Anyone else got an opinion on this? I honestly want to know--I'm all about...

Ugh, it hurts watching that place get desecrated.

Last spring, I wanna say the East Jefferson Business Association had some sort of Come to Jesus meeting aimed at the building owner about the...
