I have been attending Women's First OBGYN in Royal Oak for my prenatal care. I will be 30 weeks Monday and they just informed me that Royal Oak Beaumont does not accept my insurance, which is the hospital they are associated with. I have to call my insurance but I don't think any Corewell hospital will accept my insurance. Any recommendations for good hospitals and associated OB clinics in the area? I am not from here and have only been living here a couple years, have never even been to a hospital in Michigan. This is kind of a nightmare. Thank you
Edit: Women's First gave me recommendations for clinics in Roseville, Chesterfield, Macomb, and Grosse Pointe, all associated with Henry Ford St John's. Besides Grosse Pointe these are all pretty far away, I live in Oak Park and work in Detroit. I don't know anything about St John's. If there is a better option I'd love to hear about it
Ive seen some McMansions pop up in Clawson. Will 5 or 10 years from now be the new RO?
New to the Royal Oak area and looking for church recommendations in the metro Detroit area. I prefer a laid back church with good worship, a great pastor, and I'm also looking a men's or young professionals Bible study group (in my late 20's). Thanks for any recommendations!
Just trying to find word on what’s going on over there! They closed part of the road down
I I really need help with finding a hair salon that ACTUALLY knows how to do hair.
Every time I go to a different salon, the stylist tells me everything the previous stylist did wrong. Then they fix it, then I go to another one and they ask me what happened.
It’s really really frustrating. I have pretty thick hair and it’s curly. I just want to be happy with my hair cut for once lol. Thank you.
Hello! Looking for recs for a photographer who can take my daughter’s first year photos. Her birthday is June 18th, ideally hoping to find someone who would be open to having the shoot be outside.
Thanks in advance!
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!
Is there a limit to what I can throw away on my curb for trash pickup?
My partner and I are planning to move to michigan this summer but we have been struggling to find a good apartment to rent
We are soon to be college graduates I have a job lined up in auburn hills and her in ann arbor
we are looking for an apartment in the 1400 or less range
we also have a cat
outside of that we just want a somewhat nice apartment in a good area
if anyone has any advice that would be great!
My mower gave up on me this week and the grass is getting a little out of control lol. I only need someone for a one-time cut while I decide if I’m fixing it or replacing it, but most places I’ve looked at seem focused on recurring service plans.
Anyone around Royal Oak know a good option for just a single mow?
I see a lot of posts in r/Michigan about morels (mods won't let me post there tho'...). I'd like to try them myself but can't physically wander in the woods anymore. Where can I get some near here? Either fresh or a restaurant that has them.
ok i need to know if it's just a me issue— does ANYONE else's car's bluetooth randomly cut in and out when driving in royal oak???? i swear to god i will be on 11 mile driving back home and just that entire stretch until like main street my music skips like it's a cd! i am so baffled by this it's been happening for literal years
Hi All,
I am seeking a local contractor/ handyman for some help. I had a local contractor renovate my very small Landry room. The project reached approximately 98% done. He asked to be paid in full at that point and said he "would be back tomorrow to finish grouting 4 joints on toe kick tile, and install a sink (plumbing is already ran and done, just capped), and that would have concluded the project. He did amazing work, but I can't get him come back after I paid him. He seemed like a good guy, didn't smoke, did great work, was respectful of my home - gone. Cannot get a hold of him. Is there anyone out there that can help me out to finish this up? I of course can send photos. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Hello everyone.
So, obviously economy sucks and as a result we really haven’t gone out to the movies much. But my fiancée was excited to see the new DWP movie and thought catching the Sunday matinee would be nice. We parked in the structure thinking that it’s Sunday, so parking is free and even if that doesn’t apply to the Emagine lot, they’re supposed to validate. So either, we’re good.
Well, as the title implies I was wrong. So first off. Couldn’t find a human to talk to as the only ones in the building were working concessions. Not a soul at the guest services or ticket line. Just a bunch of people standing around looking confused and needing help. So, figured well let me just test the kiosk outside before heading back to the car. Every kiosk I found was just powered off. My assumption then is, it’s Sunday so they probably just do that cause it’s free. At least that’s how it usually is when I park at the Lafayette lot I thought. Nope, wrong again. They make you drive up to the gate, and that’s when you’re informed that parking is still $5 and there’s a parade of cars behind you so they know you’re pressured and just want to go.
I know it’s just $5, but FUCK EMAGINE. I’m so sick of the greedy penny pinching and enshittification. This is clearly an intentional ploy and I will no longer support this garbage. We straight up would’ve just walked had we known. It’s a nice day, but I guess that’s what I get for assuming things should just work like normal. Thank you for coming to my rant, I guess we’ll just do MJR from now on.
Hi everyone! I'm moving to Detroit for work and am eyeing Royal Oak as its close to my hospital (Sinai-Grace). I would really appreciate any recommendations for apartments for rent. Currently, I'm eyeing District Royal Oak.
My budget is around $1300 since I need to factor in car related payments, and Dr pay in Detroit is tough, ngl.
I don't have crazy demands either. I would prefer having an in-unit W/D and a covered garage.
Any opinions would be deeply appreciated!
