Mallie’s

I just read about how shitty the owner is and how he closed up shop with no notice to his employees. But people have now been talking about a “red room” or room upstairs at Mallies, as something they should have been closed for, but not actually saying what went on there. Anyone know? This is intriguing.

Dan's Auto Wyandotte

Has anyone had problems with Dan's Auto in Wyandotte? I've had great service from them in the past, but the last three vehicles I have taken there all developed mysterious problems afterward.

Any recommendations for mechanics near Wyandotte?

Old Dennys Location

Does anyone remember a Dennys that was maybe Lincoln Park? It had cathedral ceilings.

We used to go there around 08/10. I moved away and then moved back years later and can’t recall where it was.

Roosevelt Lanes

What happened to Roosevelt Lanes in Allen Park? Seems like they are permanently closed, and their websites is contradictory.

Currently use Dr. Ghassan Atto but ready to move on from his practice. Trying to do my own research but pretty clueless to who else is out there. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Doesn’t matter if male/female or which network HF/Corwell etc.

Best place to find wifey material

As many of you know I am one who likes to have a good time and meet people, but in my early 40s I am starting to slow down

The places I hang out at just seem to bring troubling women into my life, I am tired of the the one night stands, women lying about married and constant confrontations with other men

Are there places that well put together women tend to mingle in the area?

Chanise Coyne Photography Santa Scam

I’ve had a hell of a time getting my money back from this woman but finally did last spring. If you’ve been scammed by her, this might be an opportunity to get your money back.

Suggestions for quality ADHD providers for adults

Does anyone have recommendations for high quality providers who are good w/ adults with ADHD and not afraid of stims? All levels- Psychiatrist to therapists etc.

Looking for psychiatrist's who don't hide behind neuropsychiatric testing and actually know about ADHD. Looking for providers who either do their own diagnosis or have team members (psychology) who do clinical interview and rated scales. Looking for providers who work with you to find the right med and dosage.

Looking for Cooking Skills classes

As the title suggests, I am looking for classes centered around cooking skills such as dicing, mincing, other knife skills, just your basic cook and prep skills. Prefer the Downriver area but would be willing to drive to places like Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, etc. I've checked out places like Sur La Table, and a couple others and they have a lot of culinary and cultural themed nights and cooking classes but I'm having trouble finding one that goes back to basics for folks who never learned growing up and want to expand their skills in the kitchen. I've tried YouTube videos but I am really the type of learner that needs to observe someone doing it in person, and that person can observe me and provide real-time feedback if that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Motor City Ghost Hunters

Anyone ever use them? since I have moved into this house on the south end, I have experienced paranormal activities in my house.

Things have fell off my shelves, weird noises under the floorboard, a glass has exploded... The strangest noise was moaning coming out of my basement (possibly neighbors)

Things seem very active when the water treatment plant is smelly
