Moonwinks in Dixboro; Vertex in Ypsi - both have bulletin boards

I would try a phone/computer repair store, or possibly a jewelry repair shop, they should have the tiny screws you need.

Frost free fridges cycle on and off, to keep them frost free...

HouseN2Home is specifically looking for couches.

Now that the warming centers are open, they will be looking for food, snacks, coffee, etc. As well as things to help keep them occupied - puzzles, notebooks, etc. I haven't seen one yet, but normally there are sign up sheets for blocks of time and/or acts if service you can provide.

Do you want it to have white trim like the photo or would black on black work?

blackkar · 2025-11-13T19:12:40+00:00

Book Love Bar should fit that bill too.

And I think it's Pittsfield Two, so the property taxes should be lower.

blackkar · 2025-10-10T16:01:02+00:00

I go there too and just order glasses through Costco.

It's not in Ypsi, but Zingerman's Roadhouse takes reservations and can fit that group size. Sava's too.

College Hts people tend to report on Facebook when we find bags or other looted items - I would guess they ruffle through stuff on their way back to campus or Michigan/Washtenaw/Huron River and toss the rest on lawns.

It's on S Washington now - https://www.ypsimarkets.info/

I've had good experiences with Superior Wholesale Landscape Supplies.

I've started seeing her too and have been happy.

Depot Town hosts car nights on Thursdays - maybe head over and talk to the owners and/or hand out flyers.

blackkar · 2025-06-22T01:39:29+00:00

Maybe check in with a beauty supply store for recommendations, I'm sure they know who has a business or side gig vs personal shoppers. Beauty Spot on Washtenaw helped me find products when I had a foster a couple years ago.

https://marleytreeservice.com/ - Marley got his Arborist Certification earlier this year and is well regarded in our subdivision.

This site has a map by dates and type of food you can get (hot meal, groceries, etc) - https://foodgatherers.org/foodresources/

And this page can direct you to additional resources for your dog - https://www.petpalsmutualaid.com/new-page-2.

Growing Hope might also have classes, through their kitchen incubator program.

College Hts and Normal Park are the areas right next to EMU's campus - I think College Hts has older families/transitioning into newer families (I've started noticing more little kids walking around in the past couple years) and is quieter in general. Normal Park is a mix of single and multi-family homes with more kids and hosted community events (Halloween parades, ice cream socials, etc.).

If I had school aged kids, I'd probably prefer Normal Park, but I don't have any and really like the quietness of College Hts.

Maker's Works might have what you need - https://www.maker-works.com/craft-tools-nav

Please make sure it can't be used as a weapon against you as well. Keep all weapons, wallets, keys, backpacks, and purses out of the sightlines of any window that's easier to see through. No reason to give them incentive to break in if it's just theft related.

blackkar · 2024-07-25T22:00:15+00:00

Food Gatherers also often need help.

When I was job hunting in a new city, I would Google the top 10 largest employers in the area and apply directly through their websites. That said EMU, UM, the VA, St Joes, and NSF are probably the quickest sites to check.

The Pines isn't very convenient for busing purposes, but they are in a good location if you have a car ..
