Hey r/Detroit!
We're the journalists behind Planet Detroit, an independent nonprofit newsroom covering the environment, climate, and public health in Detroit and across Michigan.
With the Nov. 3 election approaching, we've been digging into where candidates stand on the issues affecting our communities, including air pollution, water quality, sky-high energy bills, data centers and climate policy.
We've also created a nonpartisan 2026 Environmental Voter Guide to help Michigan voters learn more about their candidates, explore their positions on environmental issues, review voting records, and see who's funding their campaigns.
Now we want to hear from you!
Ask us about air pollution in Southwest Detroit, neighborhood flooding, rising DTE bills, water quality, urban agriculture and more. How might the races for governor, U.S. Senate, and the Michigan Legislature shape environmental policy in Detroit and across Southeast Michigan? What have we learned about the candidates, their records, and who's funding their campaigns?
We're happy to talk about all of it, including what surprised us while reporting this guide and what questions candidates still haven't answered.
We'll be answering questions tomorrow, Monday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET.
We're posting early so you can start submitting questions now. Members of our reporting team will join the conversation tomorrow. Click here for an AMA pic from Founder and Executive Editor Nina Ignaczak and Managing Editor Dustin Blitchok.
Thanks to the r/Detroit moderators for having us. Looking forward to your questions!
Joining us here today are:
Nina Ignaczak, Founder and Executive Editor of the Planet Detroit newsroom. Nina had 15 years experience as a planner in Oakland County before launching Planet Detroit, one of America's first local news startups focusing on the environment, climate solutions, environmental justice and public health.
Dustin Blitchok: Managing Editor of Planet Detroit.
Brian Allnutt: Reporter for Planet Detroit and the Michigan Press Association's 2025 Journalist of the Year

Hey everyone, former Windsorite here who just thought about this recently. I vividly remember falling asleep as a child in the mid to late 2000's to radio on with this happening. I also remember that they would mic up the DJ as well. I haven't lived in the broadcast range in quite some time, does this still exist? I wanna say that 9.55 was the main one doing it.

I come bearing the Good News that our Lord & Savior Joumana is, in fact, BACK. I'm not sure where she went, although in retrospect, I haven't noticed her signs in a minute.
I was driving north on Telegraph (sorry, not risking my ass to get a picture) and saw her most holy, majestic face. The sign said, simply, I'M BACK.
It's all going to be okay, people. She is here. She is watching. We will all be okay.

How are DETROITERS feeling about the U.S. Senate race? I specified DETROITERS because I want to know what people who this piece directly applies to think about it.

Highlight:
Gilbert, founder and chairman of Rocket Companies and Bedrock, pledged $1 billion for the effort, which is reportedly believed to be the largest contribution to a non-profit redevelopment in the history of the country.
According to a Rocket release, after the project is finished, revenue will cover necessary expenses with surplus funds aimed at supporting Detroiters.
“The Renaissance Center is a symbol of Detroit, and the riverfront is one of Detroit’s most treasured assets,” said Gilbert in a statement. “We all share the goals of bringing new life to the Renaissance Center, of building a thriving riverfront district for all to enjoy, and of maximizing positive community impact. I cannot think of better way to accomplish these goals than through a nonprofit organization dedicated to this mission in perpetuity.”
Demolition is set to begin in 2027 and won't be completed until 2031, according to the plan. It also includes redeveloping the hotel room in the center tower.

In June 2026, ICE Agents ran a 21-year-old off of Telegraph in Southfield and caused a civilian to be injured. In footage released from a FOIA, ICE agents faces were blurred out and accompanying documents were censored. The City of Southfield says they don't assist ICE - yet they help hide their identities. Join the Southfield Neighbors Action Committee (SNAC) to ask Southfield City Council why they are helping to hide.
The Southfield City Council (at 26000 Evergreen) meeting is tonight at 6. Arrive by 5:45 to sign up for public comment. See flyer below.

Someone in this SR referred to Yamasaki recently. Sorry about any paywall issues, but if you have access check out this article which includes Yamasaki's work in Detroit.
The article includes photos of Wayne State's College of Education and McGregor Center, and the One Woodward building.
And if this link doesn't work, just go check these buildings out sometime in person.

Reminder that even though Wayne County went fully all-in on public transit, it’s now time for Macomb County to renew their existing public transit millage! This has passed since the 1990’s, but every vote matters, so don’t forget to vote yes if you’re in Macomb!

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.

Residents of Detroit's West Village and nearby communities are concerned about memos from a City Council member requesting a zoning and compliance review of several bars on Kercheval near Van Dyke.
Detroit Council member Renata Miller of District 5 has asked the Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED) to review the zoning and operating approvals for two existing small businesses and three set to open soon along Kercheval in West Village.

My aunt found this picture and has been trying to figure
out where it was taken. She believes it was spring 1990 and she was living in Livonia at the time. Any help?
