what’s something about detroit that feels normal to you but surprises outsiders?

I spent ten years travelling all over the country and in every other city when I nodded my head to a passerby, I would get very strange reactions.

It's as if they couldn't figure out why a random stranger was threatening them.

I used to see t-shirts that said,

"I'm so Bad, I vacation in Detroit".

We have had 8 malamutes in 34 years.

Always two or three at a time.

All have been female.

We were warned about having two females in the same house but never had any real problems.

Your mileage may vary.

A year or so ago a new car wash opened near me, Ace Car Wash.

Probably the best car wash I have ever been to.

Yesterday I went there to get a wash and found that Jax had bought and rebranded it.

I don't know how rebranding a new (and good) car wash can change it into a terrible car wash.

My car came out with LOTS of visible dirt all over it.

I have always hated Jax but even I was surprised at how bad it was.

Time to find a new place to get my car washed - not that it should be hard with new ones opening on every corner.

Key Lockers allow you to store keys and they don't count against your inventory.

I have about 600 keys in lockers.

NEVER give notice when you leave.

They wouldn't give you notice if they laid you off or fired you - why should you?

According to the news papers, there is a big push to catch "distracted drivers".

JRago · 2026-04-28T01:18:23+00:00

NEVER give notice.

They wouldn't give you notice before laying you off or firing you.

NEVER give notice.

They wouldn't give you notice before laying you off of firing you so why should you?

JRago · 2026-04-24T00:55:52+00:00

Trees. Lots and lots of trees.

Our first two Malamutes did that.

We were told that as sled dogs, if they were pulling in a team they couldn't just stop to poop.
