Happy Anniversary, Fabulous Ruins of Detroit! And thank you, Lowell, for the past 25 years!

I don't remember exactly when I first posted here, but it was fairly early, like in 1999 or 2000. I...

I think it is disrespectful to all of the people who suffered and even died there.

It sounds odd to me too. A one-bedroom is fine for an apartment, but a townhouse should have 2-3 bedrooms, preferably 3.

The Biden signs far outnumber Trump signs in SE Oakland County [[Royal Oak, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Ferndale, Oak Park). Also, if you see a Black Lives Matter, No Hate Here, or "In...

She has plenty of family in the 'burbs but she wants to be closer to campus. Also, after having been away at college for three years, she is not keen on moving back home with her parents. Also, by...

She is living on campus at her current college. But it's a small liberal arts college and it doesn't have a law school or any graduate-level programs. If it did, she would probably stay there. She...

I have a niece who is currently a junior in college and plans to go to law school. Wayne State and U of D Mercy are two of the schools she is considering. When I was her age in the early 1990s, cheap...

In the 1980s, the $cientologists had an outpost on 3rd and Main in downtown Royal Oak. [[The same building where Starbucks's is now.) They'd go up to people on the street-- including kids-- and ask...

I looked it up on Google map's street view, which goes back to 2007. The house was abandoned then, and it looked like it had been in that state for quite some time.

I do most of my writing and artwork at night, so if I had a workspace like Russel, I probably would have slept there more often than not.

I've heard similar talk at the bus stop, but it was a random crazy man. He didn't seem to be a preacher or affiliated with any kind of organized group. Still, as a white woman, it is disturbing to...

I can remember riding my bike down Ten Mile Road between Campbell and Main in 1983-- I was in eighth grade then. They had already torn down the houses closest to where the freeway would eventually be...

I was an undergrad at WSU during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Pretty much everywhere south of Forest and west of the Lodge was a no-go zone. But I don't remember any cops getting killed then.

I absolutely hate changing buses at the Fairgrounds, so this is great news for me.

There was a Lawson's in Royal Oak on the corner of 11 Mile and Campbell.

Wow, thanks for the info.

My great-grandfather was a foreman at that plant.

On 12 Mile Road in Berkley, that's where!

As long as we're on the subject, has anyone noticed how much those vacant lots in North Corktown are going for? Here's a 0.24 acre lot [[tiny) on 17th Street [[the most desolate part of the...

I agree, this wasn't the real deal. It was somebody actin' stoopid.

A 95% black school can function if the student population is mostly middle class. [[For a local example, see Southfield.) But middle-class black parents, like middle-class white parents, will move or...

My mom has mentioned the sheeny man. She did not grow up in the Detroit area. Her family moved around different parts of Ohio, mostly rural, but they did spend a few years in Toledo and a few in...

Just chiming in here because I am a white woman and this is a mostly-male forum...

When you are a woman of any race, you have to fear for your own safety ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Add extra points...

Is there anybody on the Detroit side of the river who can get CBC without cable? If so, how? I had an old TV that wasn't hooked up to cable, but I couldn't get CBC or any other Canadian channel.

Sounds like the proposed developments are all happening in northern Warren, which is more middle class. South Warren is a ghetto.
