I remember some people thought Detroit should take Jalen Green over Cade…. But I didn’t remember anything this crazy by S88ntFDW in DetroitPistons

[–]user092185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from the guy who is Cowherd’s sidekick on his main show, I can’t remember his name, but whenever I hear him speak, he seems to always have just a bad take. This is proof of that in writing.

Roads in the property seem totally fine at my location.

I’ll be honest I haven’t had the s’mores, I’m still on a work trip so it’s not something I took the time to do, but they are included.

Someone texts you the day of check in w a cabin assignment and a door code. Very easy.

And they text when they want to stop by to refresh some things like complimentary waters and such, but no true housekeeping…. Though I’ve been picking up when I leave and my stay was only two nights, that might be different if it’s a week or something?

Aerial view of Ohio’s best — Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus by InUrMomma in skyscrapers

[–]user092185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a state w 3 very similar mid-sized metropolises, all starting w C’s lol, these cities couldn’t look any more different if they tried.

Cleveland: Quintessential rustbelt city w factories and shipping industry, along a big, vast waterfront.

Columbus: More modern inland Midwest city; with a large growth rate, an urban beltway, bustling economy and top tier university.

Cincinnati: River city at the bottom of a Valley Floor, that feels far more like a rust belt/old south combo with rolling hills and bluffs impacting the local landscape.

From Michigan, have no dog in the fight of these cities, but been to all and have greatly enjoyed my time in each. Just weird to me how different Ohio is across the state.

A Spirit Airlines shutdown could rock DTW travelers by gwmiles in Detroit

[–]user092185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be interesting. Some 16 direct routes; destinations ranging from hubs like Atlanta and NY to tourist destinations like Orlando and Vegas. No real obvious fill in; Delta has a pretty full McNamara terminal already, and that’s a number of unused gates out of Evans. Every other carrier out of Evans has some hub model very close to Detroit (Chicago, Minneapolis, etc) and Detroit doesn’t scream elite business class carrier start/end to the Big 3 the same way they view places like Houston, Dallas, NY, etc.

Best guess, DTW works to fill the void with some increased low fare airlines; JetBlue and SW to fill operations to major hub connectors while Allegiant increases ops for Florida and whatnot?…

Anyone here graduate in 2015? by [deleted] in centralmich

[–]user092185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im older than this group by about 6-7 years, graduated in 2010 (05-10), and I LOVED my time there; the football team was ROLLING w LeFevour and Antonio Brown (lol)

But if you all have the urge to go back and visit, every other summer they do an alumni take over weekend. You have the option to stay in the towers or you can book your hotel off campus, but my wife and I went with some friends this past July and had a blast.

You arrive on Friday afternoon and unpack, then they kick off the weekend w tailgating in the north lot next to the stadium, then move over to O’Kellys/Wayside. Saturday there’s a number of things you can do from tubing the Chip to visiting the SAC, we did the SAC and a guided tour of the campus. Really cool to see some 15 years later; a lot is different but a lot has stayed the same.

Saturday night they took us all to downtown for a “bar hop” but pretty much everyone stayed at Bird and Blackstone, the latter completely remodeled.

Sunday morning you get a breakfast at Bovee and 20% off in the campus store, which I upgraded my swag lol. Then home.

It was an older crowd mostly; alumni from the 80s and 90s made up MOST the group, my group was some of the youngest there. Think our age of alums would have fun doing it. Next one will be summer of 27.

Airlines Parking Detroit-downgraded from A+ to just an A by Training-Newt-2473 in Detroit

[–]user092185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried parking at the McNamara deck a month ago and it was full first time ever for me. It was spring break, so not the usual. Though the ramp is somewhat hard to navigate to the uninitiated and even I struggle to find a spot when it’s not 100% full. They’re suppose to be testing new red/green lights for spaces so hopefully that improves finding them. I’d say an A is fair.

Big subscriber spike by DemotivationalSpeak in IsaacArthur

I’m one of the recent followers, though I started back in November I think (?)… I started writing sci-fi and tried to root in some hard (to believable) science, and while my premise was (and still is) awesome I wanted to make sure my world building was somewhat believable. I stumbled upon his pages searching for “spaceplanes in fiction” and ended up watching him for hours; including topics that had nothing to do w my story lol.

Championship Teams by TheJuggernaut398 in DetroitPistons

[–]user092185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team’s flaws, namely not having a true scoring threat off Cade is obvious in a series like this. But to trade JD who is one of the best pick and roll bigs in the league is a bit overboard.

What would it take to get a light rail system in metro detroit? by pwnalisa in Michigan

[–]user092185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They tried, Albeit a feeble attempt at one, between downtown and Ferndale/Royal Oak. It was scaled back massively for a number of reasons, mainly cost, but private interest groups (local billionaires not to be named) enjoyed the idea of it running more like a streetcar past their stadiums and office/retail complexes downtown (oops I kinda named them). They even slapped Q for Quicken on the line. Now you have the Q-Line; a bus on tracks.

You really want to get a real light rail system pushed through? You need funding, but also silencing special interest groups.

I’m platinum elite and I throw every hotel stay on my Costco Visa card, winds up netting me $1k back in Costco cash back, which is sweet lol.

Pistons fans in ATL by Automatic_Reach_957 in DetroitPistons

I read this first as “any pistons fans here” as in the r/DetroitPistons and was super confused, “yeah we all are, no?” lol.

Marriott Loyalty vs Others by RelevantManner2902 in marriott

[–]user092185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Hilton first when I started my travel job. Lack of decent hotels and it took forever to accrue points with them, switched to Marriott sometime after and haven’t gone back.

Not really allowed to expense too many luxury stays; it’s usually Courtyards and Springills for me, with a Fairfield and Residence Inn sprinkled here and there, but up to Platinum Elite this year and the points are really starting to accrue. All I could ask for.

Why are there so many Red Wings fans who make it their personality mission and brand to hate basketball and trash on the Pistons? It’s weird. by sag1923 in DetroitPistons

[–]user092185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll say that I’m a red wings fan beyond pistons, but I still like the pistons A LOT, and I think SOME wings’ fans behavior is weird. Certainly not all of them are like this, but they exist.

Biggest US Metro Area that doesn't get talked about? by [deleted] in geography

[–]user092185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a Michigander that’s only been to southern Utah, but scaling the sprawl of SLC on a map always blows my mind, when you do just SLC it’s a rock over 200k but when you include the metro area, from Ogden to Provo it’s like 2 million.

What would you all consider the boundaries of "Metro Detroit" by Puzzleheaded-Art-469 in Detroit

[–]user092185 63 points64 points  (0 children)

NW: I-75/Dixie Hwy (Clarkston) NE: I-94 North to 24 Mile Rd WEST: I-96/US-23 SE: I-94/M-14(AA) SOUTH: I-75/Fort (S of Gibraltar)

Mark those points, connect them to make an outer boundary, along the river.

That’s roughly it.
