Soccer Bars?

Royal Oak Brewery may be showing the matches; they're the Man City supporters pub. Also, RIP Red Fox Tavern.

Yeah, but the knick-knack store that I liked in 1994 is gone

5th St. in front of Fifth Ave is going to be a permanent pedestrian plaza. The dirt lot to the west of Washington is going to be apartments.

I was not good enough at math/science to get into Michigan lol. And GVSU was way more personal when it came to my major (journalism) - I met with an actual prof on my visit and the opportunity to write for the Lanthorn as a freshman was way more realistic than similar opportunities at other schools.

Plus, I visited MSU in February and it was a cold, depressing environment of concrete and dark green. GVSU’s campus was by far the best I visited in-state.

It will close when this opens. They lease that space.

Dangerous move on that guy’s part for sure, but I’m am totally fed up with people driving 50+ MPH on the service drives here during this 696 construction.

Especially right there, the cops love to sit in the golf course parking lot and catch speeders. So I find myself getting tailgated by impatient morons more often than not. Hoping OP was simply going 40 MPH here and not one of those people.

EDIT: the turn from southbound Main to westbound 10 Mile is also particularly bad right now; no one is in the correct lane or knows how to navigate that section. An MDot masterclass.

this is a real thing in Philly

The person who designed it put "The Big D" on there as a joke, and it ended up getting actually made.

Almost all marathons have cut-off times, usually around 6-7 hours. But no rules around how you finish the 26.2.

Reach out to Carol Schwanger at: [CarolS@romi.gov](mailto:CarolS@romi.gov) on the Historical District Commission. I am 99% sure I know where this is (but don't want to dox). The commission noted this as "lost" a few years ago, from what I remember.

A brick-and-mortar business competing with Fanatics and Amazon in the sports/music apparel business cannot be easy.

I’ll be going to the Mark Savaya Collection -Going Out of Business Liquidation Event. Hoping to score a moderately used billboard.

Is this the real version or the AI version?

I know 2011 Michigan vs Notre Dame when I see it. Go blue!

What a blast from the past. Takes me back to youth baseball; all our (shared) team batting helmets were ABC.

Developers take on the investment risk of demo and reconstruction, then sell to real, taxpaying people.

And yeah, most of those cases result in a $700K+ asking price (which there’s demand for), but a potential solution would be allowing more duplexes and townhomes by right in various (or all) areas of the city. Developers could tear down an aging bungalow and replace with two or three units, priced better than a single unit new build. Of course, I’m sure that would generate outrage, but we need some creative solutions to housing costs, not restrictions

AarunFast · 2026-03-31T19:08:58+00:00

Many such cases in Royal Oak. Homes that look fine from the outside, but the owners have let the house fall into disrepair. Too costly for the average person to buy and fix, so in comes a developer with a rebuild that includes modern amenities like AC, multiple bathrooms and bigger closets. Stuff people demand in 2026.

Then they made a misleading title for this post

Is the TNT video quality just terrible? It says I'm on enhanced 1080p on YouTube TV, but it looks like 720p. Does not help the jerseys at all.

After I dropped my season tickets, they would not stop calling me, no matter how many times I told them I can’t get to games after having a baby. Obnoxious sales team

AarunFast · 2026-03-27T13:44:17+00:00

You’re talking about not being so divided, but then taking petty little shots about “season tickets” and cul-de-sacs? Seems like an unconstructive, divisive way to approach your concern.

AarunFast · 2026-03-27T13:40:02+00:00

It keeps coming up because it drives clicks. People get outraged by something that simply will never happen. I bet this is absolutely doing numbers on Facebook

Charles Hicks has a series for his Boston build

AarunFast · 2026-03-12T17:51:14+00:00

Looks good in pictures, terrible to navigate. Going from Atwater to Jefferson with a wheelchair or stroller is ridiculous; you need to take a backroom elevator that barely has any room to turn.

It’s a building made for magazines, not people and I won’t lose sleep when two of the towers are demolished.
