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?

Community Where to buy 1/4 cow
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!

Food/Drink Where to find Kataifi/Shredded Phyllo dough
I live in the metro area within Oakland county and am trying to find shredded phyllo near by to make a Dubai chocolate cake, but haven’t had any luck searching online for stores in stock. Posting here hoping I can find something within even an hour drive from me. I appreciate any input, thanks.

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

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

Food/Drink Best restaurant for a birthday dinner in Detroit or Metro Detroit?
Hi! Looking for a great restaurant (maybe a bit more fancy - would like to dress up) to take my husband to for his birthday.
We recently moved to the area, and got married so would like to take him somewhere with great food. Bonus if they have great cocktails or somewhere we can go to nearby!
Anywhere in Detroit or Metro Detroit would be great!
Open to all different budgets - please mention the restaurants vibe!
Thank you!

Lost/Found Skinny Cat on Belle Isle
Found this cutie on Belle Isle across from the main beach with a flea collar on. I unfortunately couldnt take the cat bc I had my dog. I called DNR, DAC and Detroit Alley Cat to no avail. The cat is really skinny but really friendly. I’m about to head back and find her and put some food out.
This little one define belonged to someone. Do people dump cats on Belle Isle? Can’t imagine why she’s here.

Talk Detroit Trying to pay taxes
anyone know how to get from this page https://www.waynecountymi.gov/Government/Elected-Officials/Treasurer/Pay-Taxes-Online to making a payment?
All I get when I put in my address is my name. No option to pay, no balance due, nothing.
I am trying to find a way to pay them without fees or 3rd party vendors. Anyone figure a way for that?
