It's really not complicated. Sometimes when it's larger roads with multiple lanes in each direction, sure, it's a little confusing if people start getting very out of sync, but if we all just drive like adults and *be predictable* and not self-centered idiots, it's still not bad. Come on. We're all in this together.

Also someone please turn down the temperature a bit, and the humidity quite a bit. That would be very helpful.

See you all Monday by 11:30pm.

P.S., if anyone has cool pictures of storm damage they don't mind sharing, this is a reasonable place for it. I saw a live downed power line for the first time today (as in, with my own eyes, not a photo, etc). Neat. Someone put that back, please. I was using that.

We got a family of four in a house with a unit that likely just needs refrigerant. The unit is underperforming overworking and the line keeps freezing.
Obviously we know it's going to cost us but we are looking for honest person that can fix without trying to look for reasons to increase the price.

I'm a producer at More Perfect Union and am working on a video with Abdul El-Sayed. We'll be filming a roundtable discussion with him on July 8th in Detroit from 1pm - 5pm and I'm looking for folks who would be down to talk with him on camera about a variety of issues. I'm primarily looking for people who are on the fence about whether they would vote for him or even disagree with some of his stances, but would like to have a genuinely engaging conversation.

Please comment here if you're interested or you can reach me at mae@perfectunion.us

Hello. I'm coming in from out of town as my family is planning a birthday open house for my mom. Can you please recommend some places for platters we can order/pick-up. Fruit, cookies, cheese and crackers, etc. We'll also need a breakfast platter/idea Sunday morning for our out of town guests. Tony Cannolis looks great for cookies/pastries! Thank you.

The title probably sounds goofy but I'm looking for a place around Downriver or just out that would be a good place for two old friends to hang out and talk and catch up for a while but not a bar atmosphere. Something indoors. Thanks in advance!

I’ve got an Akai cassette player and Technics receiver that haven’t been serviced. Also got a turntable from same era. So probably haven’t been cleaned or repaired in close to 50 years. Are there any good places that could service or repair these?

Any recommendations for companies that spray your yard for mosquitoes and ticks? We used mosquito squad previously and the results were so-so. Thanks!

With the heat coming. Anyone know of some decently close places to swim that are NICE. Not off Lake Erie

Whether you hate it or love it. This is a reminder that the Fort Street Cruise is today 6/26 and 6/27.

Hello, I’m trying to raise awareness for Flock cameras downriver, starting with Wyandotte. I have a small Facebook group started, and wanted to gauge interest on Reddit as well. Do you guys have any thoughts?
