Treat Dreams closing its Ferndale shop after 16 years

unfortunate but with the way the shop & business has changed over the past year or so, maybe not unexpected?

Royal Oak tattoo studio forced to cancel appointments after $7K in equipment stolen at Arts, Beats and Eats

So much security during the day, maybe only one "roving" (or snoozing) security guard at night.

Anybody else wishing President Domenico was sticking around?

Maybe it's just me but it feels like the current president has been really involved and invested in his role even as the clock is running out (eg the welcome event and he's doing selfies while wearing a custom apron 😂 ). Am I the only one who wishes he wasn't retiring?

2 Detroit Zoo staffers hurt when train car derails, zoo says

My guess is that the last car (where a staffer is always hanging out) fell off the tracks. Still sucks for the kids that want to ride the thing around the zoo.

Ring camera captures massive fire at Dearborn elementary school playground

It must have taken at least a number of gallons of gas or accelerant to cause that kind of intense blaze that melted non-flammable playground equipment. Why would anyone want to be that malicious to elementary kids?

is it a police van? is it an ice cream truck? it's both!

I was Today days old when I learned that Oak Park has a police van that's actually an ice cream truck! Why didn't they have something like this in my sleeping/boring suburb when I was a kid? Also, the van was at the just remodeled David H. Shepherd Park where the kids climbing tower was something like 25-35 feet up and the highest and fastest kids slide I've ever seen. There were a lot of slightly concerned looking Oak Park rec people gawking nearby (maybe because the tower was totally jammed with kids), but that slide definitely is something remarkable.

unique International -> USA -> Canada -> USA checked luggage question

I expect there won't be too many responses, but I'm looking for knowledge or experiences here: I'm returning from a mileage run in October and when I clear customs in DTW (my hometown), I can continue along to my origination point in YYZ to finish my run properly and then cross the hallway and return right back to Detroit. Nobody will be at the DTW airport to hold my bags while I'm doing those last two segments, so I'm sure they have to continue with me. When I start the return journey, my bag will be tagged for YYZ; but once I arrive in Detroit and I try to get it retagged for DTW (i.e. for the DTW -> YYZ -> DTW legs), what's likely to happen (besides the agent rolling their eyes in disgust)?

Amazon Drone delivery criteria?

I just watched a drone lower itself below the tree line a block or two away from me so I know they service my area, but I've never ever seen a "drone delivery eligible" option on my many Amazon purchases.

I was wondering what the criteria for eligibility might be? I'd love to try it at least once, just for the novelty. But I can't tell if it's because my backyard is too small or too many potential hazards (power lines or trees)...
