Just closed on a house in Morningside. Really good shape, but the seller had a stroke about 4 weeks before closing and wasn't able to get the furniture out. Also a washer and dryer we don't need. Sofa and matching love seat, two twin mattress sets and one queen set, two vanities. We have to be moved out of our apartment by May 1. Is it worth trying to do an estate sale or is there any non-profit that could use a house's worth of furniture? Also have an old Cuisinart food processor and a blender, dishware, etc.

Good morning and happy friday. I am remodeling my bathroom, and I need to buy tile for my bathroom shower walls (and floor). Where is a good place to buy tiles from? I live in Oak Park just off 8 mile, so hopefully, it will be someplace within a 30 min drive from there. I read you don't want to use floor tile on your walls because you should use lightweight tiles on your walls. So, looking for someplace that sells tiles for the walls, too.

Im from the Cleveland area, but I’m interning in Detroit this summer! I know of a couple things to do like the big farmers market, DIA, and lakes Huron and Michigan are pretty close (relatively speaking). What are some other things to do? The must see/do type things. Im also wondering, is Detroit a relatively bikeable city? Im staying near midtown/downtown area and interning near Comerica for reference. Thanks so much!

Midtown is super bikeable and there's a lot of great local spots you can hit up. Stadtgarten is a fantastic beergarden with NA options if you don't drink. The DIA is gorgeous. Get some detroit style pizza (you'll get a lot of recommendations like michigan & trumbull, buddy's, shields if you're in midtown). I like rooftop bars when the weather permits- monarch club has a great view of the city though you may have to get reservations. River Walk is super serene, Belle Isle is fun and has an aquarium and a museum dedicated to the great lakes. You're in for a fun time, welcome!

Can anyone see this thread?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Detroit/comments/1jmvugl/seeking_information_from_2008_macomb_county/

On a whim one day, I looked up the name of a person I knew in the 70s. I found out that both the person and one of their children died within days of each other in 2008. There is no other information as to what happened, no news stories of an accident or anything else. All I can find are the obituaries and none of the other family is still alive, so there isn't anyone I can ask. Searched the Det News and Freep sites as well as the Macomb Daily.

Would Macomb Sheriff or Coroner release any general information?
