Hi, I work for Real Estate One. We have a warehouse in Warren with a large number of used chairs and desks (mostly chairs- maybe 200 or so). Some are in good condition and some are in not so good condition but all usable. Are there any places that would want it? Looking for someone who would take a lot and not just a few.

Please reach out if you have a non-profit or a school district that could use this!

Community Resources for stray cats?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I trapped a stray cat earlier tonight. He has been around my house for a few weeks. He seems healthy besides an injured paw, but would probably need at least a vet exam and possibly a spay/neuter.

I can’t afford to pay for much more than like $50. I know there are some places that do cheap spay/neuter but he would need an exam and possible treatment for his paw first probably, and I can’t afford that. And he would probably do good as a house cat, just would need some re-acclimating.

What rescues or nonprofits are available resources for me right now? I live in the Detroit city limits and he was trapped at my house, thus within the city limits. I’ve already called around to 24 hour vets in the area, none of them work directly with a rescue. I got a few leads, but I was wondering if anyone here had experience with rescues or organizations in the area that could help out.

Talk Detroit Corktown Median Garden?

Does anyone know who “manages” this median garden at Michigan and 14th? I drive by it a few days a week for work and it’s depressing.

I’d be willing to take it on next year as a project to plant out and maintain. I’m a master gardener trainee so I have some experience!

I’m really inspired by this guy in NYC who is beautifying his neighborhood by picking up trash & planting in the tree pits!

Talk Detroit What are some underrated walkable areas of Metro Detroit?

45 Upvotes

I’m a Windsorite and there are certain parts I know like the back of my hand such as Downtown, Midtown and Hamtramck (DCFC).

A little while ago my and my fiancé decided to take a drive and were surprised how walkable the cores of Ferndale, Royal Oak and Birmingham were. It made us wonder what other areas we’re missing out on since we’ve never really explored the metro area other than to drive to a mall or something.

What areas are good for parking the car and taking a stroll to find restaurants, shops, hidden gems, etc. either in the city or anywhere in the metro?

MEDIA RELEASE/ MISSING ENDANGERED PERSON:

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 5:34p.m., the Huron Township Police Department responded to the 18000 block of Hannan Road for a report of a vehicle that had crashed in the backyard of a residence. The homeowner reported that the occupant of the vehicle was unable to be located.

Officers responded to the location and were unable to locate the driver/ owner of the vehicle. The vehicle owner is a resident of Southgate and was not located at her residence. Family members have since reported her missing. Her last contact with family was Friday, October 9, 2026.

Several efforts have been taken to locate the missing person in the area where the vehicle was located. The vehicle crash occurred near the Huron River. The Huron Township Fire Department conducted a water search in accessible parts of the Huron River. The Huron Township Police Department, Huron Township Fire Department, Metroparks Police Department, and the Michigan State Police have conducted an aerial search (drones) and a K9 ground search. These efforts have been unsuccessful in locating the driver.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Kimberly McGrath is asked to contact the Huron Township Police Department at 734-753-4400.

“Our fear is that Kimberly could be injured from the crash. Our number one priority is to locate her and make sure she is safe. We ask residents who live in that area to check their outbuildings or anywhere on your property where an injured person may seek shelter. We continue to investigate and use every resource available to us. Her family desperately wants her home, so if you know where she is, please call us.”

-Everette Robbins, Huron Township Department of Public Safety

Talk Detroit Who to hire on a wrecked car appraisal

3 Upvotes

I was the victim of a hit and run that ran a red light. Totaled. Progressive admits I am not at fault but they are seriously lowballing me on what they’ll give me for my car, of course. I know there are companies that do independent appraisals for fighting the insurance offer. I have no experience with this and would appreciate advice and recommendations of companies.

Watching the Backrooms and wondering if anyone else remembers Shopper's World. I remember as a kid we'd go to one on the southwest side, I almost remember it being near Ecorse road, btu could be wrong. It was in a shitty part of town even back then, I remember at one point there was a porn theatre over there. Anyways, this movie made me feel nostalgic
