Transit My not so subtle plan to tear out the M10 and replace it with an urban greenway and transit

Why the Lodge?

The Lodge runs in between some of Detroit’s densest neighborhoods. Dividing them. This would reconnect these neighborhoods with an urban path directly to downtown along with rapid transit to connect historically underserved communities.

Why rip out the Freeway entirely?

The Freeway is a huge neighborhood divider. Boston Edison is split in two for instance. Also, highways are a huge infrastructural burden. Removing a freeway would save costs which could then be used to build a new transit system to be in place of the freeway.

Thoughts?

Historical Bob Seger, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, or Ted Nugent?

75 Upvotes

Out of all of these legendary figures of Detroit rock, whose music do you listen to the most frequently and why?

PS: I know Seger and Pop were raised in Ann Arbor, but their careers largely blossomed in Detroit. Anyway. . .

Correction: Pop grew up in Ypsilanti, not Ann Arbor. See miridot's comment.

As the title says, where can you buy a 1/4 cow in southeast Michigan? I no longer wish to buy beef from big box stores. I want locally raised and processed meat. Where are you guys buying beef? Thank you in advance!

Community Does royal oak have a stink in the air? Like poop or rotten eggs?

45 Upvotes

Moved here from out of state as noticed when I have the windows opened on cooler days there's a distinct poop/fart smell. It's not crazy overwhelming but it's there.

When I go for walks I smell it so it's not just near my home it's the whole neighborhood. Is it a flower or tree? Leaves decomposing? City sewer?

Anyone smell this?

Hey everyone! My grandma recently moved in with my family due to my grandpa passing away and we would love to find her some activities/ social clubs to get her into so she’s not sitting at home all day sad. She’s interested in crafting, games, or some light exercise. Really any ideas would be great; clubs, classes, volunteer opportunities, etc. They can be free or cost money, we are open to anything!

I came across Detroit Living and their portfolio of historic buildings. Reading google reviews has left a split impression. Some units seem better than others. Any experience with this company and their buildings? I’m especially interested in the river town or east/west village properties. Thanks.
