Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Thank you Kelly and Mail Carrier!

My daughter lost her wallet and today when the mail carrier opened our glass door to put the mail in the main door mail slot, she noticed the note between the two doors. So she knocked on the door to let us know it was there just in case we didn’t open the door (my mail goes inside so I probably would not have). There was a note around her wallet saying she found it at Kroger and was not comfortable leaving it there….signed Kelly! That was so thoughtful of her and the mail lady for making sure we found it! When I called my daughter she was so happy and said going to Kroger after work to ask about her wallet was on her TO DO List!

Just wanted to say Thank You Kelly we will pay it forward and hope you have a terrific day! ❤️

Help me out: where are the Arabic street signs?

I'm feeling blind and ignorant. I have been visiting Dearborn for many years for business and pleasure. I don't know where the Arabic street signs are. The only ones I have seen are English!

Uncomfortable Truths (from a former resident)

I want people to know that it isn't just "outside agitators" that are upset with Dearborn's cultural shift. Dearborn residents, past and present, are not thrilled with the direction the City is headed.

Speaking as a former resident, and a former employee, I can attest to some disturbing things I have seen, heard and lived through in Dearborn, and only in Dearborn. Things are only getting worse now. (And fucking Jake Lang isn't going to help!)

Let's start with curb appeal. Dearborn loves it gardens, it's a whole history I won't get into. But the curb appeal has gone down, way down. Having lived on both the east side and west side of town, both prior homes look terrible now. Unkept. On the east end, the house next door has actually been demolished and it's an empty lot. On the west end, no joke - like five or six long time families moved out of the City all within a year or two of one another. That block also now looks terrible. Lawns aren't cut, American flags have all been replaced with foriegn flags...the flowers and plants look raggedy, paint is chipping....It's sad to see honestly.

Seperataion of church and state has slowly erroded. Hallal meats in the public schools, and prayer rooms in City Hall. It's not a prayer room anymore, it's an 'inclusive quiet room.' Totally started as an empty room on the second floor with a prayer rug and koran. They even consider intalling bathing centers for the religious who have to do that according to their religion. The lines aren't blurred, they are quite defining. They give Muslim students places to go during Ramadan where they can avoid the cafeteria because they are fasting. This has been going on in public schools for decades. They only make these religious accommodations for Muslims. Not Catholics, not Jews, not Hindus. I saw a sign outside a Muslim daycare that said, "We have Muslim Girl Scouts!"

Traffic in Dearborn is insane, and it wasn't always like this!!! I learned to drive here as a teenager, I know it wasn't like this. Now, no one follows any of the traffic laws. I see left turns over double yellow lines allllll day. It's normal now to wait when the light turns green to make sure no one is running the red in your direction. Road rage, tinted windows and gun violence are the rules of the road in Dearborn. And everyone has to drive eveywhere, so you are always at risk of getting caught up in something.

I could go on and on, but you get the point. My family has been here 85 years, and this may be the worst the City has been. The City poverty rate has actually increased since Abdullah has been in office. Long time familes are moving out fast.

If you are able to vote in Dearborn, I ask you to NOT vote for this Mayor ever again. I know, I know, we all had such high hopes because he was young and energetic! Unfortunately it didn't work out.

Edited: It seems there is an assumption that I am leaning towards one party or another. I am independent, and a woman.

The lack of concern for basic American liberties, such as the Separation of Church and State, really concern me. There doesn't seem to be a connection between loss of American liberties with the rise (and acceptance) of facist values. Don't forget- Dearborn voted for Trump! The same people that attacked the man pardoned by Trump probably also voted for Trump 😆

Reliable Pharmacy in Dearborn Heights

Hello! I am relocating from Royal Oak to Dearborn Heights and was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable pharmacy? I do have medications I take that are sometimes difficult to find in stock, so I want to make sure I find a good place. I have had some issues in the past with pharmacies staying on top of medication refills and out of stock meds and really dont want to worry! Thanks!

Don't rent from Darius Peek had more evidence but they deleted it

If your ever looking for a room or anything like a place to rent don't come here. They've gone through my phone without permission without my knowledge aswell as this house isn't up to code. Don't go here this house is filled with mold. The home owner does an illegal procedure called strikes. Charges more for rooms than he should. Basememt air quality is dangerous. AC is always left off especially on extreme hot temperatures. Fridges are alway dirty and look like their going to break down. This house should be called on by the state to investigate bc its not safe. Owner has a female friend who harrases tenants aswell (siciopath). Water leaking through the floor to the basement into one of the rooms. Still wants previous tenants to pay even after moving out saying pple still owe him when they dont. This house is a mess the guy charging over 1000$ + for a room that's not fully insulated. Overcharging for rooms that are halfassed. One of his degenerate lackies named Michael Daroczy puts out false allegations and starts problems also has him keep an eye on youon some weird shit. Been told he was a pervert aswell by previous tenants. Dont rent here💯 previous tenats would agree and tell you their sides. He used to be a manager in MAGNA and every female worker would say he was a weird perverted individual. Shadae the sociopath aswell told me and other past tanants he was a pervert.

The man's name is Darius Peek.

Cake/pie/donut recommendations?

Moved here a few months ago. We haven’t explored much. Was hoping for some suggestions.

We used to go to Traverse Pie Company when we were on the other side of the state. My wife liked there ABC and Key Lime pies.

Any suggestions for cake slices and pie? Bonus points for a tart key lime pie.

I have driven past Paris Baguette but haven’t stopped. I also saw there is a Homies coming soon (it’s been coming soon for a while)

Looking for some good donuts.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
