In town for work, looking for friend

In town for work, like title says, by myself. Not someone to eat or chill out by myself, never been here, just looking to not stay in room. Give me a shout, if you want, 37/m.

Woodward at Gratiot/State Looking Toward Lofts of Merchants Row

My dad gave me his old Minolta X-700 and I used it to get some film shots of Detroit back around April/May. I just got them developed and particularly liked the colors in this one of Woodward facing north at Gratiot/State toward Lofts of Merchants Row. Hope y’all enjoy.

Supra, GR Corolla, or similar sports cars to test drive?

Hello, I’m thinking of buying a Supra or GR Corolla but have never driven one. I am willing to pay someone to let me test drive their car (or we can work out a deposit situation). If someone is interested let me know. Thanks.

Photographer looking to do a free photoshoot

Looking to expand my work and get back into photography. I have been doing photography for a while and built a decent portfolio. However, some of the pictures are for a company and I can’t do anything with them including showing them to potential customers.

Marriage license question

My husband and I got married on the 28th of September. Our officiant mailed our license the following Monday. What is the next step? There’s conflicting info online. I tried to make an appointment but it told me to bring the two copies we signed but we don’t have them because our officiant mailed them all back to the city clerks office.

This whole process makes me feel like an idiot lmao

How feasible is it to buy a house in Detroit and rent it out?

I’m considering buying a house in Detroit, and then over time renting it out.

Is it common at all for people to rent houses there? Or is that outside the economic feasibility of the city?

Thanks for any responses.

Security at Russell Industrial Center?

I'm planning to attend the JPEGMAFIA show at Russell Industrial tomorrow, but it's 18+ and I'm 17. I know that Peggy's done a couple all-ages shows. Is the security loose enough (e.g. do they ID, would they be willing to let me in) for me to get in? I'd be with another 17 year-old friend. If not, are there any spots to sneak in?

Detroit, music producers and techno producers

I am interested in meeting Detroit music producers and techno producers, so if that is you, please feel free to drop in this thread and introduce yourself.

If there are any events or get-togethers or hangouts in the city that you would like to mention, this might be a good place to do it.

I’m specifically interested in hearing input from people who are starting their journey in music production or are working at an intermediate level. But everybody’s welcome to join in the conversation. I’m thinking about a possible meet up.

Let yourself be known.

Low level jobs with the city of Detroit?

I’m 23 with no college education (plans were derailed by my parents passing away when I was 16 & 20)

I’m extremely invested in the revitalization of the city and I would love to help in any way that I could even if it’s just low level position that doesn’t pay much. I’ve checked the listings and everything is a high paying job requiring a very specific education.

all of my previous jobs have been in food service or customer service with a few low level manager positions thrown in. historic architecture/ preservation and urban planning are my passions in life and I do plan on going to college eventually to pursue that. i’m hoping someone here could suggest something fulfilling in the meantime

Cool places to take someone in Detroit?

So I matched with a girl on Tinder and she wants me to show her around Detroit as she’s originally from Boulder and Denver Colorado. Thing is I don’t actually know too many cool places to take her other than a few based on what she told me she likes. Any suggestions? Anything is helpful.

Mail-in ballots being rejected, due to “signature mismatch”:

This happened to me this year and an ACLU volunteer reached out via text on how to correct it. I asked how many MI ballots were affected and they estimate around 10,000. Anyone know how long MI has been rejecting, based on this ridiculous criteria?

Mall with carousel

When I was younger I used to go to a mall to get shoes, I was 4-5 yrs old. In this mall there was a carousel in it. I forgot which mall. Does anybody remember? This was around 92-93

Building a home in Detroit

I am going to graduate with my degree in civil engineering next year. Once I enter the workforce, I hope to build my own home rather than rent an apartment someplace. I understand land is affordable in Detroit, and that your city seems to welcome people who want to help Detroit build back. Do you think it’s feasible to come and buy a vacant plot and build a home? Do you know of people in your city who have done this?

How would you rate Detroit concert crowds?

Saw the Cold War Kids last night at The Majestic. The crowd talked non-stop over the opener and headliner. The amount of vape smoke was unbelievable. What happened that allowed vaping in a dense crowd of people to been seen as okay? I saw a dude take 30 rips off his vape then the plumes floated everywhere.

Uh oh. I’ve become an old man right before your eyes! “Am I out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong!”

Worst Roads?

What are the worst roads in Wayne County that you drive on/ what roads do you think needs the most help right now? I personally would love to see the strip of W Davison redone.

Update: I am researching Wayne County's road system to write a proposal! The more input the better.

DTE shut off protection

Hey lol this is embarrassing as shit but I am struggling with paying my DTE bill and got a shut off notice to pay $231 by November 21st. I’ve applied to SER and hopefully I’ll hear back, but are there any other options? Like if I show them I’m waiting to hear back from MDHHS, will they pause shut off? I was already on a payment plan and I missed the payment so that’s not rlly an option
