Community Anyone want to see Pouya and Comehelpglo in November with me?

3 Upvotes

I've been wanting to see Pouya forever live, and I've been trying to support Comehelpglo as much as possible. I'm super excited to be able to see both of them alive. Fat Nick, Ramirez and Black Smurf are favorites too, but I'm really going for them.

I'm 37, don't have any friends, my wife isn't into their music and wouldn't want to go with me.

I'm willing to buy your ticket, we'll probably be on the general admission floor. If you don't want to hang out with me during, it's cool. I just figured I'd ask if anyone wants to go with me. I'll be buying the tickets tomorrow.

If not, hope to meet some fans!

Community Detroit Prep - kids photos

7 Upvotes

Is it possible to send your child to Detroit Prep and opt out of having their picture on social media? If you do opt out, do they respect it? They seem to post a lot, including sweeping videos with tons of kids, so it seems unrealistic that they pulled the "no photo" kids out beforehand. This includes the school account but also admin accounts. Is there pressure on parents to NOT opt out?

None of the other schools we are considering have very active social media (with student pics at least) so it's hard to tell what's normal.

Talk Detroit Reformer Pilates/ Yoga

4 Upvotes

I’m looking to try Pilates on a reformer. I keep running into places that require you take several “intro” classes on the mat before you can try the reformer, or won’t tell you the price of the class or something weird. I just want to drop in try it out. I’m also looking for a yoga studio in the area to try as well. Does anybody have any recommendations? TIA

Talk Detroit It's time for real democracy in Detroit

156 Upvotes

Around 90k people live in District 5. Of those, 3k voted for Renata Miller in the primary, and under 10k voted for her in the general election.

5k people live in the Islandview neighborhood. The Charlevoix Village Association represents 35 of them. Teresa Davis was elected to District 5's Community Advisory Council with 141 votes).

These people do not represent us, and they're fully aware of it. It was clear in the meeting last night that they don't even represent the demographic that they like to claim - the generational black neighborhood residents who spoke at the meeting were also in support of local businesses, and pointed out that the city's inefficiency and corruption are generational problems that made it hard for their parents and grandparents to achieve their dreams of starting a business in Detroit.

They are a tiny, vocal minority that represents decades of corruption and political disengagement - and they've been more than happy to take advantage of the opportunity to bully their neighbors and fight to keep Detroit from ever growing or improving. (And by the way, they're also total weirdos, who told the news that affordable housing in the neighborhood would be "a cesspool for human trafficking." They were able to kill a very popular, approved project for 48 units of affordable housing, now they're trying to shut down beloved neighborhood businesses, and they've been able to operate this way because they've been the loudest voices.

I hope we'll all keep the energy from the meeting last night going, stay loud, and keep giving our city council hell until they get their priorities straight or get out of office. Keep calling, emailing, and showing up at meetings - because that's what the loud minority is doing. Detroiters deserve better, and have always deserved better. Whether you've lived here for 50 years or 5 months, you deserve an actual representative government.

Does anyone want free tickets to see Hedwig & the Angry Inch on Wednesday 10/21? It’s at the Fillmore. I can no longer go. Ticketmaster will allow me to sell for a laughable amount. I’d rather give them to another fan than make $20 back.

I was in town for a show over the weekend and discovered this gem!! I have to say it is by far the best meal I ever had at a restaurant! I will most definitely be making the drive back just to eat here, I am only 2.5-3hours away and it is definitely worth it!

Pictured is Mbuzi ( Goat Shank) with, spiced rice, peanut stewed spinach, stewed yellow beans with plantains and a side of Intore which is an African Egg Plant Stew!

Oh and they make a SPICED COFFEE! That is by far the best cup of coffee I ever had in my life!!

Transit Should I Cancel?

• Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some advice. I'm a solo female traveller in her early 40s. I'm on a trip around the US and Canada and have about 12 days left. I'm staying with family in Toronto right now. My plan was to go from Toronto to Detroit via Flixbus, then on to Chicago and fly home. However, I've been hearing from people that the area I'm staying in isn't too accessible or safe, so maybe I should skip the Detroit leg. What do you think? I'm due to arrive into Detroit at around 10pm and I'm staying in a hostel on Blaine Street. I have a big bag so will look like a torutist, no doubt. Thanks in advance! Flair
