What churches are empty? I can't think of a single one.

The area just north of Hamtramck, east of Campau is stable and I'd say on the way up. The folks aren't well off financially, but the population is growing with lots of families, as well as the...

Actually, almost the entire American Axle complex is on the Detroit side of the border. One complete building on St. Aubin south of Holbrook is in Hamtramck, as well as only part of the building at...

Thank you, Detroitej72. MikeyinBrooklyn, what POSSIBLE advantage would Hamtramck experience if it were part of Detroit? I can see how Detroit would benefit--25,000 more in population, a viable and...

Just got the list of streets set for repair starting this coming spring. Your street is on it, hamtown mike. Can't take any credit for this, myself, but I'm glad to see it. Also Hewitt [[which badly...

Thanks, Hamtown. To top it off, I see by the police report there was some kind of incident on your street yesterday.

All this is very distressing to read, and I can imagine how hard it is to live with, day in and day out, with no signs that it will get better. It weighs on the spirit. I wouldn't presume to try to...

Yes, and I got complaints about it, too.

Bravo, DetroitPole. Or should I say, "Brawo"!

Can't wait to hear more about this project.

No, nothing till tomorrow morning. Some bars are closed tonight. Sorry 'bout that.

Oops, I missed New Polka Bakery on Conant. They were a surprise winner in an informal "best Pączek" poll this year.

The last 2 years there were still lines at the bakeries on Campau well after dark. To avoid a crowd, take Melody's advice and try Family Donut. Although it doesn't have the panache of some of the...

If you haven't pre-ordered your pączki, better bring some hot coffee and be prepared to stand in line wherever you go. In Hamtramck, you can choose between [[on Jos. Campau): New Palace, New Martha...

I'm a Chicago native. Came to Michigan in 1988 [[via a circuitous route) for grad school at U of M. I was studying immigration and ethnicity [[specifically, Polish), and wanted to live in an...

Part of Hamtramck's 13.9 million portion will be used to finish up the last remaining requirements for low-income housing for the plaintiffs in the long-running Sarah Garret et al. vs. City of...

Norwalk Bar is owned by Akm Rahman, who used it as his residence address in a run for mayor in '09 [[there's an apartment upstairs). Rahman also used the space to distribute free food to residents.
