Flight bound for DTW rerouted after possible Ebola exposure discovered

Doesn't sound like an exposure, but a customs issue.

Air France boarded a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo in error on a flight to the United States," U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement to Free Press Wednesday evening. "Due to entry restrictions put in place to reduce the risk of the Ebola virus, the passenger should not have boarded the plane. CBP took decisive action and prohibited the flight carrying that traveler from landing at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, and instead, diverted to Montreal, Canada."

Detroit really surprised me

Im from Cleveland, never visited Detroit before but went there this weekend. I was incredibly surprised and impressed by the city and it is now my pick for most underrated city in the Midwest. I drove in and spent most of my time downtown and around Midtown/Corktown. The architecture, history, and overall energy of the city were all super impressive and I wish I had more time to explore. Coming from Cleveland, where people constantly talk down on Rust Belt cities, I was honestly shocked by how much momentum Detroit seems to have right now. The riverwalk was amazing, the food scene was great, and seeing how much development is happening downtown made me pretty jealous. I hope to return to the city soon and do more exploring!

Potholes, crashes, sky-high insurance make driving in SE Michigan a drag

As local motorists gas up to travel this Memorial Day weekend, they may be glad to leave the headaches of driving in Metro Detroit behind, at least temporarily.

From potholes to construction to confusing roundabouts to sky-high auto insurance rates, motoring in and around the Motor City comes with a high frustration factor.

Why does it feel like driving in Metro Detroit is such a drag? You're not imagining it — the data backs it up. Researchers at WalletHub, for example, ranked Detroit 94th out of the 100 biggest cities in America for drivers last year.

Made a Detroit Coney Melt. Would you eat this?

I got my hands on some more National Coney Island chilli and made a ‘Coney Melt’.

I’m not sure if this is a thing but basically I used coney chili, Cheddar cheese, and onions on Rye.

If I make it again, I’ll probably use American cheese instead of Cheddar. And I’d probably add some mustard too.

What do you think? Would you eat this?

19 hour layover in DTW airport

Need advice on what to do. In a few days, I will have a 19 hour layover in DTW from 2:00 PM to 9:00 AM the next day. I was thinking of booking a hotel to rest at near the airport but I heard lately that lines to proceed through TSA have been taking multiple hours across the country. I don’t know if this is a problem DTW has been having but I didn’t want to have to deal with the hassle when trying to get back to the airport. I considered staying inside the airport but I figured that would be uncomfortable and I know there’s not an Admiral‘s Lounge there I could rest at. I don’t know anything about the airport or what there is to do nearby at all. What do you recommend if you had a long layover at DTW?

Best downtown hotel with large 2 person tubs, best upscale dining

Hi all

My partner and I are eloping in a couple weeks at the clerk's office ​​and are thinking of getting ​a hotel room in downtown for the night. I'm looking for rooms with a king size bed and a large soaking tub for two people. So far I've only really found the Atheneum so I'm wondering what people think of that hotel, and what other recommendations people have. ​​​​​​​​​​​

Also, what are some of your favorite upscale dining options with steak? Currently looking at London Chophouse but ​​​​​if anyone has other good recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

My budget for both total is $1k max. Thank you! ​​

Contaminated dirt in Detroit at heart of $100M lawsuit

(FOX 2) - On one side, a demolition company. On the other side, the city of Detroit. And at the heart of a $100 million lawsuit the former has filed against the latter are piles of contaminated dirt.

Brian McKinney Sr., owner of the now-shuttered Gayanga Demolition Company, is accused by Detroit's Office of Inspector General of using polluted dirt to backfill possibly a hundred different sites of demolished homes throughout the city.

While there is little question about the toxic materials found in the soil, the debate over who is at fault for using the contaminated dirt is now the focus of legal action between the two parties.

Lafayette Towers is unliveable

SE facing unit near the top of the building is BRUTAL shit. Full sun from 8am to 4pm. Blinds don’t do shit. One of our living room AC units (where the thermometer is located) shit out and management has been slow as shit getting to it for the past few weeks.

Indoor temp (outside of the bedrooms) plateaus at around 78 and can’t get any lower. Regularly reaches 84° inside while we are at work. Air conditioners are non-programmable/smart either so we can’t have it come on at 3 every day or something. Don’t even want to know what the air conditioning bills are going to be this summer.

Avoid.

Detroit leaders push curfew enforcement after weekend ‘teen takeover’ turns violent

Police said a 14-year-old was shot in the chest, a 16-year-old, and a 17-year-old are now in custody

olice said the shooting happened near the intersection of Farmer Street and Grand River Avenue, an area typically busy during the week with people dining and shopping.

Investigators said the 14-year-old was shot in the chest.

A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old are now in custody in connection with the shooting.

“It’s really difficult to hear,” said Miles Fradenack, 19, who said he’s aware of the trend of large gatherings organized through social media. “I remember thinking that I was so grown when I was 14 and 16, but it’s like I see these 14 and 16-year-olds on the TV during these teen takeovers, and it’s like those are babies. Those are like literal children.”
