0 Upvotes

Hello,

I live in Canada and my bf lives in Detroit, I’m looking to send him a get well/feel better gift, can anyone recommend me some businesses that offer delivery for some sort of “gift baskets”? I was looking into Edible Arrangements for a fruit basket with chocolate and a teddy bear, are there any other companies that can do something like this?

Any recommendations is appreciated !

Thanks

Talk Detroit Nicest public libraries in the region?

70 Upvotes

What are yours and **WHY?***

Off the top of my head:

Main Branch of Detroit Public Library - for its size, grandeur, extensive collections, etc.

Farmington - Fairy recently renovated and large and pleasant to spend time.

Southfield - Huge and beautiful inside, if you sit on the 3rd floor, great views to look out onto from desks (looking at the Southfield skyline)

EDIT: typo.

Talk Detroit How does anyone afford the property taxes here?

185 Upvotes

My wife and I bought our house in 2022, the property tax cap then expired in 2023. The home was assessed at $159k with a taxable value of the same amount in 2024. I logged in to pay my mortgage today and it had nearly doubled bc the bank said we owed $12,000 in property taxes for 2024. We are obviously outside of the window for appeal for this and I don’t think the assessed value of the house is wrong but is it possible there is some mistake here with the percentage that they are taxing us? If so, is there anything we can do? This makes living here unaffordable for us, which as DINK household with two people who make decent salaries, that feels crazy to say.

I'm trying to do a copycat at home to save money. Does anyone know how they make their fried chicken? What's in their chicken flour? If anyone here has worked at Chicken Shack before, that would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Talk Detroit New pic for license renewal/adding enhanced and real ID?/turning 21 ID issues

0 Upvotes

I turn 21 in ab a week. I haven't renewed my ID yet. I think at this point I'll just go in in person, because I want to get it enhanced so I can go to Canada, and I want/have to get it REAL ID compliant. 1st question, do they take a new picture for you when you get it renewed/those things added?

Second thing is my birthday falls during the weekend. Which means I'll have to go before or after. I'm afraid if I go before, it'll come in vertical and I really don't want to have to deal w that, but if I go in after, then I won't have a temporary ID (which I think they give u if they go in person) and I'm afraid that might make businesses not take me since my current one is expired? cuz I want to go to get drinks and go to a dispensary.

Does anyone have any answers to the first question or experience with you or a someone u know turning 21 lately?

ps this relates to detroit bc im from metro detroit and the michigan page wouldn't let me post:/

Talk Detroit Ornamental/floral Blackwork Tattoo Artists

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for ornamental/floral blackwork tattoo artists in SE michigan? I'm looking for someone that's able to do heavy blacks.

The reason I'm posting here rather than googling is because it's very hard to find artists that do specific styles outside of word of mouth.

I'm looking for work similar to https://www.instagram.com/mckenzietattooer/ and https://www.instagram.com/michellelynntattoo/

Is there a way to file enough complaints for these loud obnoxious protest that accomplish absolutely nothing. They are definitely violating some kind of noise ordinance.

Talk Detroit Bought a house in Detroit recently? What was your SEV?

8 Upvotes

About to buy a house in Detroit. If you bought a house recently in the city, what was the purchase price and what was the SEV when your taxes were reassessed.

Trying to budget and want to know if generally they'll set it to 1/2 the purchase price, or if they deviate heavily. Another house I bought in a different city "assessed" the house 50k over my purchase price when the taxes were adjusted the next year. Kinda want to know if Detroit pulls that crap

Thanks for any guidance 🙏

News National Day of Protest Saturday April 5 - Locations All Over Metro Detroit and Michigan

250 Upvotes

For those of us upset with the way what's happening in our government, HandsOff2025.com has an easy-to-use event finder for this weekend and more. So far, I see Detroit, Novi, Hazel Park, Ferndale, Troy and Dearborn. Also Downriver, Romeo, Ann Arbor, Canton, Saline, Wyandotte... take a look if you're interested. Make a sign or just go,

I recognize that plenty of people in this sub really love Trump and Musk. That's ok. You're entitled to your opinion and your Free Speech. You can certainly go to the protest with your pro-Trump signs if you wish.

For now, at least, our right to stand on public sidewalks and express our opinion about the government, is legal. Might as well enjoy it until neo-Nazis strip it away.
