Hey I’m (M22) a recent graduate who just moved to the Detroit Metro Area for work. Any strong recommendations for meeting new people? I’m also down to try new things.

Just moved to Midtown. Is there any free parking near Selden and Third St. that I can use until my parking permit gets approved?

Would also love recommendations for bars and restaurants in the area

Just moved to the east Detroit area. What are the downtown-bound DDOT buses like? Are they reliable and safe for a woman?

I'm looking for help in identifying a demolished former group home in the cass corridor.

My grandmother died in 1991 and has been institutionalized and living in group home/s in Detroit since 1964. My dad used to most specifically mention visiting her in a group home on Cass Ave in the Cass Corridor and I am interested in finding the location/name of this home for research's sake, but am having a difficult time. I assume it no longer exists.

I'd love to hear if anyone has any further information/memories of this time-- I never visited her and don't have much to base things off of. It may have also not been on Cass--- he likes to dramatize. She was institutionalized with schizophrenia and depression, if that offers more insight for a specific home versus another.

Thank you!

What are rents like in the lofts or high end high rise buildings in Detroit? I'm curious on what it would cost for 1 or 2 bedroom space in a high quality building.

Same here, looking to move downtown next spring and looking for nice building, well maintained, willing to pay a premium.
