Gays Eating Garlic Bread at the Park is happening this Saturday on Belle Isle! This is a free community meet up. We’ve got Shelter 5 reserved and will even have a plant swap happening at from 3-6 as well there.
I'm new to the area and looking for places to get new clothes, like decent everyday pants (I'm M24). I don't want to go to chain-type places like H&M, would rather go to smaller shops. I'm in hazel park, but don't mind going to other areas. Not looking for anything stupid expensive, but don't want trash either. Any recos??
Hey community, was hoping you might bless the internet with your Ferndale knowledge- which places are serving mocktails and NA drinks?
I don't go to bars or eat out often (who can afford it?), so I'm not really in the know. Looking for some options.
A diverse cross section of Ferndale citizenry was on display Thursday evening as Ferndale city council met in special session to hear 5 minute presentations from the 15 of the 24 applicants for the open council seat who opted to speak before council.
Among the applicants were former appointed council member Dennis Whittie, LGBTQ organizer Ricky Bricknell and Facebook provocateur Jim Mcluckie.
The number of applicants more than double the 11 who applied the last time a council seat was vacated.
In comments at the end of the meeting mayor pro tem Laura Mikulski said she was "shocked and excited" by the number of citizens who responded. Councilwoman Rolanda Kelly said the applicants "blew me out of the water" and councilman Eddie Sabatini stated that he found the presentations "inspiring".
Council will deliberate their choice at the regularly scheduled May 11th council meeting with a decision expected at that meeting.
How many books do you think you can read this summer? Our Summer Reading Kickoff Party is June 6! Swing by and sign-up!
Any sense what this will be exactly? Long ago I heard a standard Sports Bar, but wondering if there’s any concept / menu.
Hey everyone — I live in Madison Heights, I moved here about 6 years ago and kept running into the same frustration: trying to figure out what's happening this weekend meant checking Facebook groups, Eventbrite, city websites, venue pages, and still missing half the stuff going on (I guess Metro Detroit has plenty to do haha).
So I built TownBuzz (townbuzz.app) — it scans a bunch of sources and puts every event in one feed. Concerts, farmers markets, town halls, charity runs, art walks, library programs, bar trivia, all of it. You can filter by distance, category, free vs paid, etc.
Right now it covers Royal Oak, Ferndale, Birmingham, Detroit, Troy, Berkley, Southfield, and Madison Heights.
It's completely free and works in your browser — no app download needed.
I'm posting here because I genuinely want feedback from people who'd actually use something like this. What events are missing? What would make it more useful? What's annoying about it? Don't hold back.
Thanks for checking it out!
As a new Ferndale resident I just wanted to SO that the backyard art fair was so cool and I feel very grateful to live in a community that can pull something like this off with so many people volunteering their yards to help local artists! It was a blast despite the rain hitting towards the later half. Met some really cool people and just had a blast in general! Can’t wait for next year! Stay rad, Ferndale!
