Really, this was more of a question for those who say things like "hey, that Imported from Detroit commercial is just SO great!" and at the same time wonder why the city doesn't have more bike lanes....

The guys in the 10th Precinct are hard workers regardless of the victim. And did you see this?

"Police sources tell us family of one of the alleged suspects told police their loved one was...

Keep in mind that Google Maps is three years old in most parts of the city. My home on Google Maps is still boarded up with an overgrown front yard. That's not saying the whole area changed in three...

Food Farm on Lawrence and Dexter, across from St. Paul AME, reopened under new management this year. They're not linked to a Spartan or Foodland chain [[but I think they are part of an independent...

I live in this area. Like someone said above, Davison is heavily trafficked, and the other three corners of that intersection are all occupied, plus all the nearby businesses. I frequent all three...

Well, the writer didn't exactly lie in some parts of the letter.

As I wrote here in today's follow-up, the...

Before I even wrote about the letter, CC's staff was on 97.1 decrying the letter Wednesday morning. And like someone stated above, a CT staffer originally brought it to everyone's attention. It would...

DPD patrols our area quite heavily, with both traffic enforcement and undercover gang squad units. Having spoken with the staff in the 10th Precinct personally, the increased patrolling has resulted...

I grew up in Russell Woods and currently live on the other side of Dexter near Central High. As a current resident, the entire area should be treated -- much like Detroit itself -- as a...

I had no idea the Dexter/Davison/Linwood area was so high on people's lists. I live there now on a street that dead-ends at Central High...haven't had any problems and neither have my neighbors. Very...

I wrote the MLive piece that Skid linked to, and I'm one of the ones who believes that while Slows is great, there are other places worth mentioning.

I even said in my piece that I wasn't...

The Landry home was one of the first 1,000 scheduled for demolition, but was put on hold when the man's family found evidence of the crime [[that the police couldn't find). It led to a whole crime...

I used D-town a lot when I was in high school, late 90s, early 00s. A lot of cities had similar nicknames, and some still do. [[Pontiac -- Yaktown, Ypsilanti -- Y-Town, Atlanta -- A-Town, Chicago --...

Oh yeah, it's definitely good news, but bad news if your hopes are high for getting in. The first house we bid on was on Edison St. and we thought we had it in the bag. It had only been on the market...

I know that house in Arden Park and my partner and I briefly considered it on our home search -- until we saw it was a Fannie Mae sale. We were advised to stay away from Fannie Mae at all costs....

Just bought a boarded-up house in the city a month ago, and Wayne County has yet to update its records [[even though we've paid the taxes on the home). It's possible that Wayne County's site is slow...

Worth noting that while Gordy's old home is up for more than $1 million, a house just down the street sold for $25K:

That house wasn't in...

It looks like Petosky-Otsego encompasses everything west of Dexter and south of Elmhurst. I don't think that includes anything within the bounds of Dexter/Tuxedo/Linwood/West Chicago.

Does this area have a name? It's the area southwest of Russell Woods, but northwest of Boston-Edison.

Four Tops, mainly because they stuck with the same lineup for decades, and their commitment to not replace any members. Also, while the Temps have more tunes in the public consciousness, the Tops...

Rev. Sheffield and Kilpatrick's new attorney, Arnold Reed, spoke as well. Some notable moments included Farrakhan saying "the congresswoman and her husband" and church helpers taking donations,...

In the thread about the $9800 yellow brick LaSalle Gardens home, I was the one who posted that it had caught fire days after the Realtor listed it, but before he could show it. He wasn't specific...

Never been to the Grand Hotel, but I've heard that the claims about having the "world's largest porch" are dubious. As I've heard from the locals there, an apartment complex in Eaton Rapids west of...

EastsideAl, I thought IV did include office space on Jefferson. I've been on a few IV home tours and occasionally the offices were open for viewing each year.

It's within the bounds of Indian Village, yes. But when you consider the circumstances [[an office building on one of the city's main drags, versus the dozens of well-kept residential homes on IV's...
