Yarn Store Vibe
​
What are everyones favorite yarn stores in Detroit. Do any have a particular specialty (ie are a dye studio, have lots of local yarns, sustainable yarns, a particularly wide selection, whatever). Id like to visit as many as possible while im in town but its nice to know what im getting into beforehand. Id be especially interested in any place that that has local Michigan farm to yarn, if thats something that actually available.
Also does Arts and Scraps typically have yarn? I know one can never say at any given time but it seems like differerent Creative Reuse stores have "typical" stock.

Food and Activity Recs
Im going to be in town for a few days 8/2-8/4 and I was looking for vegetarian friendly food recommendations and favorite outdoor and indoor activities. A place that has like 1 or 2 veggie options are fine.
In all honesty Id prefer mostly outdoor stuff (tour, biking etc) but given that its approximately a million degrees out now I'd like have indoor options. DIA seems like a must, but I don't have plans beyond that.

Blind Drivers Against Bike Lanes
This Trib letter to the editor really clarifies who the terrible driver is who keeps driving over the signs on Montrose by Horner Park.
Making all roads accessible for cyclists ends up causing problems for drivers. To make bike lanes, the city of Chicago might remove right turn lanes in congested areas, change busy four lane roads to stop and go two lane roads, add traffic islands that may make things worse and take away street parking from neighborhoods that need it. Bike lanes may make it easier for riders, but they can also make it harder for drivers.
On Montrose Avenue at Horner Park, a ride-through traffic island was created for cyclists to cross the street. But the opening in the island creates the illusion of a continuous road (rather than a bike path through Horner Park). If a driver attempts to drive through the opening in the island, they may end up with extensive damage to the front and undercarriage of their car. The city should change this design. Close the island opening and have cyclists dismount and walk through the pedestrian crossing about 4 feet away.
As a driver, I’m as careful as possible knowing bikes may be on the road especially if I have to turn left or right. But bicyclists should assume drivers do not see them (because we often do not). It would be terrific if they could always wear a helmet and a yellow safety vest, attach a tall flag to their bike and add lights. Take out the ear buds, and stay off the cellphone. Ride single file. Respect stop signs and don’t blow through them.
This will help keep everyone safe.

Archives of Ontario timelines as of May
I've asked this before in this sub but I wanted to take another temperature check about the timelines of requests to the Archives of Ontario. I sent in an online request 3/18 and haven't heard anything back aside from the automated email.
If people have had recent success getting certified documentation from them how long did it take? What should be the expectation?
