No problem...now you have at least one less thing to worry about. :)

Are there a lot of mosquitoes?
Surprisingly, no. Keep in mind that there is a higher risk of catching bloodbourne diseases such as HIV/AIDs through mosquitos in Detroit simply because a higher...

My boyfriend lived a stone's throw from one of the architectural jewels of the city, The Masonic Temple. I believe this is the biggest masonic temple in the world. Temple Street has been absolute...

Well, I did say his situation was extreme. I did not insert hyperbole. I would give more details but I don't think it is necessary. I don't have anything to prove. He lived it, I know what he...

To answer the original poster in a very short little snippet, it's all location. I live in a functional neighborhood with little to no outside foot traffic and all is well here. My boyfriend lived on...

Because people have free will and everyone should live where they want to live.

I couldn't believe it when I heard on WDET this morning that there was a parade today. Well, a parade fixes everything. The housing market should throw a parade. We should have a parade for the...

Is this a joke thread?

LodgeDodger,
Maybe you were thinking about the other Detroit street fair on Fourth Street. We didn't have that for the last 2 years. It doesn't have the full support of the community anymore for a...

Yes, Cecelia I believe. Quite a colorful character. She's a very dedicated proprietress. Back then, she was always there, 365 days of the year. I've worked in many restaurants and to see that was...

Well, whaddaya know, those aren't potty doors! Don't believe everything you read I guess! I retract my particular criticisms. Live and learn.

So this was a somewhat "artistic" project, an installation in you will, obviously not fine art or anything, but still....art involves symbolism and interpretation.

Doors represent an entrance to...

Exmotowner, my first Detroit apartment was on Merton in Palmer Park. I had a really pretty studio apartment there for $290 a month about ten years ago. I moved there despite the protests of friends...

Hi Susan,
Just wanted to let you know that your book is doing very well at the store I work at, Book Beat. We ordered a nice, big shipment as soon as it came out. Bill is a good friend of the...

I used to wait tables at Como's and no offense to trotwood, but I'd skip it. Como's is good for overpriced pizza, festive atmosphere and drinks, but I always felt that the rest of the food was...

Baphomet, I don't think your actions are repulsive. Plenty of people around town have all sorts of treasures and collections taken out of abandoned buildings. I would rather see those things in...

Choquant, just reread your post...just wanted to say...different brick, just for clarification. The house where this brick landed was just a smash, no grab. Just a pointless act of violence. If...

Very succinctly stated Gnome. Gotta say, I think it's pretty inappropriate to get on the soapbox about leaving/loving Detroit when folks are dealing with issues that threaten their safety and the...

Choquant,
Off the top of my head I can remember a few incidents.

The party at D.B.'s house, party guests were robbed at gunpoint on the porch.

Bicyclist shot in arm and bike was stolen,...

Blksoul,
I respect your views even if I can't totally understand them all, especially since this is not an issue I have read about or reviewed extensively. In many ways, you are probably right the...

I never thought I would be happy about a new Meijer but I must say, it sure is nice to see a retailer with some gonads for a change, instead of all these lily-livered, yellow-bellied cowards! I...

I frequently read this forum, however this is my first post. I was curious if the recent surge of crime in Woodbridge would ever be brought up on the board. Imagine my surprise to see it explode...
