Talk Detroit One-time Sauna Recommendations in Metro Detroit

24 Upvotes

I used to belong to a gym with a cedar sauna but post-covid I work out at home. I miss the sauna experience, and was thinking of asking for a "sauna day" as a Mother's Day gift this year. Are there any places around metro Detroit (I'm west, between Detroit and AA) that have a sauna for a one-day drop in? Random question I know. TIA!

My grandfather has a sign in his home that is made up of images of various signs in the Detroit area. We can recognize all of them except for this R.

Do any of you have any ideas of where it might be from?

Talk Detroit Random: anyone have advice as to what to do with my wedding dress from 30 years ago that wasn’t preserved properly?

8 Upvotes

I have taken to 2 different dry cleaners. It was sent to another state to try to assess. No one will touch it. I’m devastated as it was made by my mom & I want to preserve it. Any place in metro Detroit? It has some random red stains on the lace & bead work. Anyone know where I could send it? Dye it? Something?

Food/Drink Fun Bars/Clubs IN Detroit not Metro!

Hey all! My friend and I are looking for some fun night life to explore in Detroit proper. I've been to UFO, Marble, and that's fun BUTTT she's more of a mainstream girl and looking for pop, rap, etc. Think Tin Roof (groan, I know) but we're in our early 20's and just want shitty cheap drinks & mainstream music lol. Thanks in advance :)))

Talk Detroit Così fan tutte at Detroit Opera

37 Upvotes

This show was such a great time! I think the last time I saw an actual opera was on a middle school field trip 30 years ago. I was worried about being confused and/or bored, but it was easy to follow (captions!) and very engaging.

The production was really fun and interesting - both modern and fantastical. The story is silly, tone is pretty sarcastic. It was really funny, which I wasn’t expecting.

It looks like there are a couple more shows next weekend, so I thought I’d bump it here as a cool thing to check out.

Talk Detroit The best deals in Metro Detroit/SE Michigan?! Do deals still exist?

162 Upvotes

So…this economy is extremely stressful and it is not letting up. I remember back in the day, when businesses offered kick ass deals to get people in the door, and we would flock to those places. Now…seems like everywhere is squeezing every penny from us while offering the bare minimum and it’s F’in tiring. There have to be some hidden gem good deals out there. Let’s share with each other. Maybe it will uplift a few of us out of the current economic situation affecting our lives. Any region, any deal, leave it here. I will go first

$DEALS$ $DEALS$ $DEALS$

-$5 dollar ticket Tuesdays, MJR theaters

-Free popcorn Tuesdays, MJR theaters

-Emagine Woodhaven has an “all inclusive” option on concessions for a flat fee.

-Fuji Buffet Madison Heights, lunch is 19.99, not an amazing deal but within reach for a special occasion.

-papaya market, Dearborn, on Wednesdays they have big sales.

-Gas prices downriver are routinely cheaper (by like 20 cents+) than the burbs

-Aahar Indian lunch buffet Farmington hills, wide selection.

If I think of more I’ll comment below. Thanks all.

Good to know that DTE is spending my hard-earned money on ads marketing their whole home surge protection plan that's not really needed unless you live in an old house with faulty wiring (in which case that should be fixed first and then problem solved!)

As everyone else would say: FUCK DTE.
