hi I'm a masc bi poly primary partnered man. I'm a house painter and really just want to crush NA beers and watch the tigers lose with other bi/gay guys. Any ideas for good spots?
Hi all, I'm originally from the Detroit-metro, but years ago I moved out to the West Coast. I live in a big city now, but my family is still in the area. I'm getting married in a little over a year and am looking for venues for the reception. My partner and I are young, queer, urbanites. We are looking for places in and around Ferndale/Royal Oak or Ann Arbor. I found the "Ferndale Project" in my search, and from what I can tell, it is exactly the vibe we're looking for. The issue is, my mom, who is the one funding this, thinks everything south of Hall Road is a "sketchy area." She's worried that people's cars will be broken into while we're there. I kind of think that's a bit exaggerative, but even though I spend a lot of time and energy explaining I do not live in a "warzone," there are areas of my city that you do genuinely have to be cautious in. I assume it's fine, but I want to check.
Anyone have recent experience with getting new windows? Previous owners replaced half the windows with the cheapest money can buy so I am not looking for fancy. Just want to do the remaining. I have a quote from Wallside and Pro Home Improvement in Ferndale. Pro is more but seems to have a better window. Anywhere else to check and/or avoid?
thx
The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)
Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter.
Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!
These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.
Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details!
We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!
Help me understand the appeal.
I hate it. It's loud. It wastes gas. People become more aggressive. There's unnecessary traffic. Sure, Detroit, motor city, pride in history, what have you.
To those who enjoy it, help me understand what makes the whole event and the vroom vroom worth it.
I am really hoping to land in Ferndale. My job will be in Detroit proper but I’m okay with some commute. Are there any landlord recommendations? Or, alternatively, any realtors that can help me find rentals? I’m not interested in buying, I would like to rent first when I get to the area.
Unfortunately I’m in a different state and can’t tour places to live beforehand.
Anyone have a rec? I have gotten a few quotes and they are wildly different. I need the entire interior of the house painted including plaster crack patching so it's a big job. Thx!
Is Ferndale Foods too bougie? Too hipster?
Does IT have the worst bathroom s in Ferndale? My mind was blown. This is what it looked like today. No toilet paper in either stalls, ONLY a paper towel roll hung on the doors. The men's. I never checked the women BUT I saw a woman followed by three Children come out of the womens room and I pray to GOD they did not have to endure this travesty. You cannot even flush the paper towels, there is a trash can with OTHER peoples waste paper in it.
AND it gets even worse. Because the very first time I encountered this scene was 6 years ago in The Plague Times. I got my hair done at the salon and went in to look at some beer and then I went to the bathroom. IT was the same except the paper towel roll was on a DAMN plunger. 🪠 AND the bin in the wider disabled stall was a FULL size outdoor trash bin that was filled.
BUT okay. People were scalping toilet paper. 🧻
I come back a year later IT was the damned same.
I come back 5 years later AND this is the upgrade!
They have toilet paper on their shelves JUST use that! GoOoOodayamn!! THIS is gaaawbaaage. THEY didn't even drill holes for fixtures in the walls. It's real easy to do. They need some used needle potpourri to complete the look. It's sad. It's sad for any customers. It's sad for ALL the employees unless this is supposed to stop them from dropping a deuce at work.
Anyone convert their fireplace to gas? Looking for recommendations. Any feedback on Skyline Chimney and Masonry Services LLC? I saw someone recommend them but now I can't find the post. They gave me a quote that seems too good to be true, incudes gas line + everything else. Thanks!
I have Spectrum cell service that I set up in NC. Never had a coverage problem anywhere until now, at the house I just bought on W Saratoga. Basically have to stand at the front door to use it. I need to add wifi and was going to go with AT&T fiber and bundle my cell service with them to save $$. Is their cell coverage better?
There’s at least 3 or 4 of them. It’s not Flock, it’s some knockoff company, CVTowers. Any word from the city on what these are supposed to be for and who has access?
Kinda strange to put these up at a time when 50+ cities have had to get rid of their Flock cameras bc of public uproar.
Take the prescreening survey to see if you qualify!
Does she belong to a house? We saw her multiple times under an old car and thought she was lost. She seems to have an eye injury also that could turn into an infection. Tried offering her food but may be she is being fed already so didnt try hard.
Moved here recently and my partner and I need a new hair stylist. Must be queer friendly! We’re really looking for someone who is seasoned and has a good eye for making recommendations, as my partner never has any clue what kind of haircut she wants, just wants it to “look good”.
Color services not required because I usually do our color, but if it’s an option that would be nice.
I’m not from MI, I’m gay, and looking for friends.
He (she idk) was hanging around NW Ferndale in June/July. Super friendly guy. Saw him greet people walking down the street and hung out in my backyard a few times. Haven't seen him in a bit and wondered if anyone knows or owns him.
I need gutters/downspouts added to the sides of my 2 car garage. Was quoted $1000. Seems high to me? Anyone know of someone that would be cheaper and do this small job?
GIVEAWAYS, CANNABIS DEALS AND FOOD TRUCKS ALL DAY LONG! COMPLIMENTARY MASSEUSE ON SITE AT NOON!
More joy with house I just bought. Had the sewer line scoped/video as part of my inspection. There are a lot of tree roots to the point where he could not view it all the way with the camera. Also a TON of grease. Sent the video to Bison plumbing and they quoted $1000+ to hydrojet. I am a little worried about that damaging the pipe since inspector could not tell if there were cracks, etc. Since this is Ferndale I did purchase the service line warranty coverage a few weeks ago but can't make a claim for 30 days. I am not living there yet but drains/toilets seem to be working fine at the moment.
Should I wait till my 30 days are up then call the warranty company & tell them I have issues?People say they do this and they will come and clean them out as part of your coverage.
Get it done now and risk pipe damage that warranty won't cover yet?
At least try a remedy for the roots/grease for now?
