    Trash pickup was privatized several years ago here in Toledo. When it was run by the city, bulk pickup was every week, you had to supply your own trash cans but could use as many as you needed, and...

    It was a royal pain in the ass to put on front plates when I moved to Toledo. Newer cars don't come with brackets for them, and they cost upwards of $70. We are trying to abolish front plates here...

    With that kind of money, he could afford full coverage insurance on a vehicle in 48201!
  4. $29 per year for non-residents, or $8 per day,...

    $29 per year for non-residents, or $8 per day, while Ohio's state parks offer free entry to both residents and non-residents. I already have my Michigan non-resident recreation passport, but I would...

    Solar equipment in the Detroit area

    I recently acquired a solar panel for my camper, and need to purchase a charge controller. Does anyone have any idea where one can be purchased locally?

    Great, one less reason for me to visit downtown [[and I enjoy vacationing in Detroit). When are they going to realize that you can't squeeze blood from a stone? I've even seen them writing tickets...

    Srodek's in Hamtramck is the best, everything else is just sausage.

    Riding without a helmet is stupid, but if you want to kill yourself you should be able to do so. Also, I doubt this will increase insurance rates too much, if at all. I live in Toledo, and pay...

    As an Ohio resident, it will cost me $8/day, or $29/year for a parks passport. That's enough to make me think twice before visiting the island.

    I understand the function of the meter maids, where there is an actual demand for parking, but they don't need to be at Michigan/Junction, Chester/Morang, or 7 Mile/Evergreen where I've seen them...

    Your choices are to pay through the nose, drive a beater and pay liability insurance that is higher than full coverage in the suburbs, or use a friend's address in the suburbs [[not sure how legal...

    I am fine with the ban in restaurants, but I oppose it in bars. I know of many bars in Detroit, Flint, Hamtramck, and Toledo which allow smoking, and I will gladly support them for having the...

    While I tend to avoid chains, they do have good wings and a lot of big-screen TVs to watch games. However, I'm sure they won't allow smoking, so they won't be seeing any of my business.

    Is it 2012 or 1992? I thought they'd have this shit figured out by now. They should sell tax stamps in different denominations based on weight that can be used to seal the bags. If you don't have a...

    What a silly question. Almost everyone I know, whether they're white, black, arab, or hispanic who has lived in the CoD has been been robbed or burglarized at some point, sometimes violently. Is it...

    In Ohio, any beverage that has sugar added has sales tax applied, unless it is purchased with food stamps. On the other hand, any food that is carried out from a restaurant is not taxed [[with the...

    I don't mind paying $1750/year for a 1250 sq. ft. house down in Toledo. Detroit will continue to lose residents until they fix their rates. It would be better to collect $1000 each on 10,000 homes...

    Just to go court, if your record isn't ridiculous it will be changed to "impeding traffic". This is a local ordinance, and the city gets the money instead of the state. It'll cost an extra $20-$40,...

    I have two friends who live in the area, and while 5-10 years ago it was very nice it's been in steady decline from an owner-occupied neighborhood to a section-8 hood. Closer to Paul is still okay,...

    This is great advice, unless you care about your credit rating. They will send it to a collection agency eventually.
