I'm sick of hearing people cry "ruin porn." Get over it. Name a Detroit story that is as half as interesting or compelling to the rest of the world as our unique and oddly beautiful ruins. There...

I can see this from my window - yesterday they surfaced it with wood. It looks like a ramp - a ramp for jumping. We're wondering if it's an X-Games stunt - or maybe a movie stunt?

I went to Astro this morning. Pretty cool. I like the big American flag they have.

I got a coffee to go - their large. It was a small by coffee-chain store standards. It cost $3.18. And it was...

I live across the street from Kingdom. Yes, I've been there. And in the last year there have been three shootings at Kingdom. Two of them fatal. At Envy, there haave been at least two shootings in...

Stay away from the clubs that cater to young, gangsterish crowds. You probably wouldn't be going into these clubs anyway. But the ones I know of are Kingdom, Mandees, Envy. There are others, too. A...

Hey agrahlma.

Sorry to hear about the shooting.

As you know, writing to your neighbor, "sorry to hear about the shooting" is an awful thing. I'm right here with you. I don't know what to do....

I love this thread. Clearly, there's no agreement. And as pointed out already, isn't that one of the biggest challenges of our region?

There's so much segregation here - racially, politically,...

Absolutely. Street parking is limited. If you expect to park in the street for a 3-hour+ game, you're expectations are ridiculous. Parking costs money in all cities. In Dearborn, in the west...

There were two shootings on the riverwalk on Sunday May 22. One at Riopelle and one right where the sprinklers are in front of the Ren Cen. I don't know the details about the Riopelle incident, I...

This is a crazy complaint. Parking costs money. A ticket because you let your meter expire is not a slap in the face. It's simple law enforcement. And we need more of it.

And complaining about...

I've been living downtown about a year and half. I've worked in the city in the past, but this recent residency is the most experience I've had in the city. During my time, I've see crime increase...

Wow! Great shot, Don.

Thank you. I'm praying for her too.

Two handicap spots! Really, this isn't offensive because enforcement officers write you tickets quickly when your meter expires. You have to pay to park in the city.

It's appalling because of...

The center tower looks like Mike Wasowski from Monster's Inc.

Sorry to hear that, English. I send my deepest sympathies to this lady. I hope she's alright soon. Any other info you can provide would be appreciated - namely, where it happened. Thanks.

Hey Dr. Genuis, clearly this photo was from a special event. Notice the decorative lights and the temporary rain shelter erected above the tents. Look at the bright light in the temporary structure...

I saw one Saturday morning on the 375 north service drive at Larned. He was heading toward the river.

Wow, thanks everyone for the updates and information. I didn't know about the incident at Riopelle. And that doesn't make me feel any better.

I'm right here with you English and agrahlma. I've...

There is a curfew on the riverwalk - it closes at 10:00. The security and police walk the entire route and make everyone leave.

Yesterday, around 3:00 in the afternoon, before the shooting, I was...

Hey SWMAP,

I was there this evening. I was on the river walk immediately following the shooting tonight. I did not witness the shooting itself. What I did witness was a huge police presence. I...

What are these "reports?" Have you seen this happening? Have you seen cops just observing gangs? I'm on the riverfront all the time - I live there - and I've never witnessed or heard anything like...

I reported the shootings during hoedown. I got that info from security folks in my building. I trust the information. They didn't know who was involved in the shooting near hart plaza. The shooting...

Hoedown violence in the hood. The security guys in my building witnessed two shootings Friday night. One outside Hart Plaza, another at the corner of Larned and Brush.

Saturday night, I watched a...

I love the ammount of people the hoedown brings to the neighborhood. But they are the worst visitors we get. They trash the place more than any other visitors. They trash our parking lot, our...
