What is happening tonight around the ecorse rd area ??? Saw a ton of speeding cop cars?

Was driving home off of ecorse and prospect area and heard at least 10 cop cars and more speeding with their lights on towards grove/further down ecorse in the opposite direction, all converging from multiple directions and looking all along Michigan Avenue, one even did a maneuver right in front of me and jumped out their car seemingly pulling out their weapons and then speeding back down ecorse ?? Don’t know if there was shots fired or what but very shocking event, does anyone have any idea what’s going on?

Early vote this weekend, shorten the lines for Tuesday!

Early voting is still open today and Sunday, 9am - 5pm, and the weather is nice. Get out there if you can, and shorten the lines on Tuesday for your neighbors who can't make it out early. (Tuesday's forecast is rain, nobody wants long lines.)

Early voting locations are open 9am-5pm both weekend days, check the County's website for your location and more info, or the State's voter info portal to verify your registration and early voting location.

Ypsi City - I'm especially looking at us; as of the end of yesterday we're sitting at 33.2% turnout in the city, while Y-Town is up at 39%, ahead of the statewide 38.3%. It pains me to give the township credit for anything, so let's get our numbers up!

PSA-- If your landlord puts a political sign in front of your house, you have the right to take it down.

That is all.

Best place to see music?

Hey everybody! Huge punk and metal enthusiast here and been living in a2 for nearly two decades! I diverged from indie and southern rock roots and got into more of the hardcore scene. I heard from a friend who plays in SNAFU that regal begal is the place to check out but not really sure. If someone can point me to the right venues, I’d love to go to one sometime this weekend! Happy Friday

Brothers street food

Holy cow was it good, I seriously struggled with wanting to keep it to myself or not. Cheap delicious and super friendly! No pics, but we had the gyro and Philly and fries and drinks and it was under $30!

Catalytic converter

Good evening everyone, imma keep a long story short. I posted on this thread about dealing with issues at my apt a few times(village grove). We were able to come to terms on a written release however a few weeks ago someone tried to take my catalytic converter off my 05 escape and I have no where to store it. What can I do with it? I’m prolly just gonna straight pipe the truck since that prolly is the cheapest solution for that but I need to leave the unit by Halloween and I don’t have friends or family to leave the converter in their garage or something.

Sheriff Response This Morning

Nine sheriff SUVs raced south down Carpenter Rd (seen from intersection of Ellsworth). Unsure of the source of this response, but hoping for the best. Be safe everyone.

White lost cat?

Hi all I saw this cat behind my studio on River by depot town, if anyone recognizes her, I noticed she had a shaved patch (square) so I figured she was taken into a vet at some point recently.

I don’t have enough space to house her, as she seems to have fleas. But I got a chance to feed her some dinner tonight. She approached me at 5pm when returning from work and I very luckily managed to see her come back around 6:45

I’ll set out some food for her when I get home from work tomorrow, to see if she comes back.

Firebows & Sundogs!

For the past few hours there have been Firebows in the clouds, and at one point there was a partial Sundog (parhelion). The firebows have dissipated and reformed, so you still might get to spot one.

The lake shore shuttle

Hi guys, I have a question for any current out former residents of the lake shore. I'm going to be a student at wcc next semester with my partner and I wanted to know how reliable and frequent the shuttle is. I won't have a car and they will so I want to make I won't have to rely on their vehicle when I need to go to classes. Also, what utilities do you guys pay for? Thank you!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign (election info)

Processing img 3ghac7dvyexd1...

Perhaps you’ve noticed that we politicians have put up a lot of yard signs around town. Sometimes they’re in the front yards of supporters. Sometimes they’re around freeway on-ramps or off-ramps, or at country crossroads. There’s a forest of signs around many of the early voting sites, and a similar forest will appear around most polling places on Election Day.

Being a small-time politician myself, I do what I can to uphold this proud tradition. My Republican opponent, Samantha Strayer, is doing the same.

If you’d like to compare us, check out this nonpartisan site which displays our answers to various questions — https://onyourballot.vote411.org/m/race-detail.do?id=28435719

If you’d like one of my “Keep Kestenbaum” signs in YOUR yard, let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

—Larry Kestenbaum, Washtenaw County Clerk / Register of Deeds (and candidate for re-election)

Bookshelves & Dresser?

I recently moved here from NJ. Originally went there from an apartment in Texas to a single room and had to leave most of my sparse furniture behind when the homeowner decided to suddenly sell the house. I ended up homeless for a while so I still have very little furniture. A friend here just closed on a house and offered me the second bedroom. But I have no dresser/chest for my clothes and no shelves for my other things. So I'm looking for castoffs in decent condition.

Prospect and Clark empty lot

What's the deal with the empty lot for sale at the NW corner of prospect and clark? It's been vacant with a for sale sign for at least 3 years. I can't find listing online for it either. Did something used to be there?
