There are things that are funny and things that are "make very specific and explicit references to them on national television" funny and this show is convinced we have one of column B every six minutes
From the story: The Detroit Institute of Arts' first major exhibit of Native American art in 30 years has exceeded expectations, attracting more than double the anticipated number of visitors, and the museum now seeks to acquire many of the artworks to tour the exhibit.
The exhibition "Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation" features 90 works from over 60 artists who are descendants of the indigenous people of the Great Lakes region. The Anishinaabe (pronounced uh-NISH-ih-NAH-bay) includes the Odawa (Ottawa), Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Potawatomi, and others.
"The reception has been amazing," DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons said.
The show ends Saturday. Originally, museum officials anticipated around 30,000 visitors during the show's nearly seven-month run.. Instead, up to 70,000 visitors will have attended. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/arts/2026/04/03/first-major-native-american-art-exhianishinaabe-exhibit-was-a-hit-detroit-museum-seeks
After being booed at the michigan republican party convention, John James not even a week later was spotted hanging out on the Caribbean.
As we all have to deal with insane gas prices and TSA lines. Mr. James seems to be able to many a vacation, such as last month when he visited mar-a-lago.
James has missed about twice as many michigan congress roll call votes than any other member of congress since fhe start of 2025.
So while michigan familes continue to struggle with problems he's helped create, he gets to chill kn Caribbean.
Not sure if anyone else is getting this, but what’s up with all the people wanting to bring their babies to a bar? At least once a week I have people walk out because they refuse to be seated anywhere but the bar with their baby. Since when is a bar an appropriate place for your newborn child? Other metro-detroit bars/restaurants, are you seeing a similar trend? Are there places that are allowing this?

Anybody with some experience on the best way to do an architectural tour(s) of Detroit?
I've seen some self guided options for like 10 bucks, other guided ones for 135. I've seen some that are tours of individual buildings with greater access than you'd otherwise get that are 15 bucks.
Just curious what people's thoughts/experiences were. I'm leaning towards the one building at a time approach rn. Thanks!
>The Tigers (3-4) beat the St. Louis Cardinals (4-3) 4-0 on Friday, March 3, at the home opener at Comerica Park in Detroit to snap a four-game losing streak. Lefty starter Framber Valdez had another impressive outing, pitching six scoreless innings in his first game in a Tigers uniform at Comerica Park.
The Aretha Franklin Amphitheater box office is open! Can't wait for another fun season on the riverfront.
Sort of a follow up to my recent post on Livonia's upcoming gas station boom. Some people were hoping that Costco would expand their gas station on Middlebelt. Now we know they have plans to do that. Meanwhile, Meijer next door wants to build a gas station along with a car wash. Either way, if plans for both stations are approved, it would invite a lot more traffic to an already busy area.
LANSING – Faddi S. Salim, DDS, 37, of Troy, was arraigned in the 54B District Court in East Lansing on March 19 for allegedly conducting a massive Medicaid fraud scheme involving dental crowns, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Salim has been charged with one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise, a 20-year felony, and 131 counts of Medicaid fraud, each a felony punishable by up to four years’ incarceration and/or a fine of up to $50,000.
It is alleged Salim repeatedly billed the taxpayer-funded Medicaid program for placing large numbers of crowns on individual patients that were both unnecessary and never provided. This case came to light partly because some of the patients who allegedly had many crowns billed under their benefits were subsequently told they were not covered for needed treatment because their annual benefits were exhausted.

Recently relocated to the West side from Downtown and in efforts to support our local community (and stop lining the pockets of delivery apps) we’d love food and even business recommendations from our new neighbors!!
Does anyone know where I can find the soufflé Japanese style pancakes?
