r/Detroit

Hey reddit. This is my last day in my 30s and, per midwestern law, as a newly middle aged white lady I am required to own a porch goose and dress it in little seasonal outfits. Anyone have a beat on where I can purchase said goose so I can avoid a fine from the state?

My family has been getting birthday and other cakes from Sweetheart Bakery on Kelly Road for the past 25+ years. Went to order a cake the other day and found out it was closed. I’m not a “foodie” and maybe it was the nostalgia, but always found their cakes the best.

Looking for recommendations on other bakeries that are local and do similar, buttercream cakes.

Dude comes here to stir the pot in hopes of inciting violence, and then gets a police escort take him inside so he can scroll his twitter feed.

This is one of the worst things about this region. There is no such thing as the "flow of traffic"...if you drive 5 over, there's someone going 10 over. If you drive 10 over, there's someone going 15 over. All this mentality does is lead to a speeding arms race that causes needless deaths.

My mom and I are going to Detroit for a concert and my mom wants to celebrate and get a nice dinner. Her favorite is steak - what restaurants have the best steak in Detroit? Open to pricier places since we don’t hang out all that often!

They will continue to raise our monthly payments, and we will have no money to spend on anything else, they will milk us dry and the rest of our economy will suffer for it.

Interesting hypothetical Michigan Michelin Guide from The Adventurist. Their Detroit-area picks for one star are Mabel Gray, Freya, Oak & Reel and Marrow, with Selden Standard listed as Michelin Recommended.

Obviously these aren’t actual Michelin stars—the writer is imagining what a Michigan guide might look like.

Detroit food people: what did they get right, what did they miss, and who would get your first Detroit star?

Just a PSA that my partner was assaulted in the bike lanes this morning in Palmer Park. He commutes via bike every day and this woman has apparently been walking in the bike lanes for the last few weeks and refusing to move. Last week she swung a post at him as he rode by and has thrown sticks too, and today she was waiting for him and jumped out in front of him to pepper spray him. The cops were called and all they did was tell her to move out of the bike lane next time. Pretty disappointed in their response, so if you ride a bike through Palmer just be on the lookout for crazies. To get to work, Palmer is basically the only safe option for cyclists to get downtown from the burbs unless you want to risk your life on Livernois or Woodward.

I know a lot of us voted in this year’s I Voted sticker competition. Some of our faves won. Pick one up when you vote in November.
