    The place that I go to when I'm in the area is Shrimp Hut in Ecorse. I was raised on Dot & Etta's but Shrimp Hut is well known in Ecorse and delicious too.

    Also, that 7,200 arrests includes black people who so much as stepped onto their own porch to see what was happening. Many of whom were rounded up and taken to holding yards in their pajamas.

    I'm not sure that the fact that the 82nd Airborne Division getting involved is as big a deal as you suggest given that a single black teenager walking around often requires a four to five squad car...

    Hey, why would you want any of those things anyway when you can make fun of Detroit from afar and have Detroiters leap at the opportunity to plaster your meme all over their "blank canvas."

    Around freezing? On the Fahrenheit scale, 10 degrees is 22 degrees below the freezing point of water [[32 degrees). On overpasses and bridges, which don't benefit from the warming effect of the ground...

    I saw an ad last night and there was a guy who seemed really upset about having to pay for the bridge--I'm assuming that he's Canadian but I didn't know they were up in arms over the bridge.

    I'm calling malarkey! You can't disagree with Mitt Romney without adding a day and time you disagreed with him. Chances are that you misunderstood him or he's decided that you were right.

    If you'd never spent much time in Greektown before the casino, you might not realize that it used to be an authentic cultural landmark. Now it is a joke in that regard. The Greektown neighborhood...

    You really should name the place or give us enough info to figure it out with this sort of gross review.

    I wouldn't mistake folks jockeying to take a photo with him for adoration. I met him a few times and worked closely with some of his staff. I keep a Christmas card and my invitation to his last State...

    I already knew that Dan Gilbert owned Title Source but I had to go back and look for where you were "knocking" Dan Gilbert for his investment s in Detroit. Now I'm wondering why you are being...

    We never went to that theater after the addition of metal detectors either. Had a friend who worked there and he has some wild stories. Can you direct me to the story about an automatic weapon being...

    FYI, Many departments have moved on to Smith & Wesson's Military & Police [[M&P) models. The Glocks were issued so long ago that the first one with the DPD serial number was given to Coleman Young--I...

    Alternately, take your $100K fixer-upper, add a $35,000 + roof, a $30,000 kitchen, floor refinishing for 5,000-7,000 sq. ft., tuck-pointing for stone, $3,000-5,000 for tree removal... Oh, not to...

    You guys have to be kidding about balking at $400,000. There are STILL homes in Detroit that would be $1 million to $2 million anywhere else selling for $200,000-700,000. Several years ago, those...
