Tap the arrow at the top of the screen & this screen pops down. Helpful if you have a lot of returns. Taken at Meijer in Van Buren/Belleville with Tomra machines, so YMMV.

History ⏳🕰️ Real specific ask from 25 years ago

23 Upvotes

In 2002 I was in MHSAA All-State Honors Choir. We performed a choral piece based on that poem *Hail to thee Blythe Spirit* and I would really love to hear the song again, not necessarily the version we sang but any version. I know they also sang it at Columbine in an event some time after the tragedy there. If anybody could point me toward a recording that would be great, but my hopes are not high.

History ⏳🕰️ Lewiston and Surrounding Area Folklore

5 Upvotes

Members of my family lived in and around the Lewiston area at one point. I heard some strange tales about the lakes and forests of that area, as well as, "paranormal" phenomenon.

I am curious if there is any reference material out there that focuses on this area of Michigan? I have heard the folklore centered around South Michigan, but am looking for more information on Northern Michigan.

Thanks.

I wonder just how profitable the gift shop is ... at $2.7 million to purchase this place, with a $1.00 fee to climb to the top, who knows how many years it would take to get your money back just from the climbing. I go by here all the time heading up to my mothers place in Hessel, and seldom see a whole lot of cars. Seems pricey to me, but maybe the gift shop really does do well?

Discussion 🗣️ Ticks in November?

180 Upvotes

This is a bit of a public service announcement as well as a bit of a “what the hell” moment.

My wife describes me as an indoor cat of a human. I only go outside if I really need to. I love the beauty of Michigan, but prefer to spend the majority of my time indoors with central air and wifi.

This morning, we found a tick had decided to make a new home for itself on a rather personal area of mine. It is the second tick I have had in my life, and the only one this century.

Additionally, in the last two weeks, we have removed five ticks from my dog.

I spent all summer mowing the lawn, teaching my kid to ride a bike, walking back and forth to work, taking the dog for walks and nothing on any of us.

Is anyone else noticing this lately? Or is my life just that unusual?

Catastrophic flooding in Spring of 2026 eroded shoreline, overwhelmed containment systems, and flooded basements. The water level was finally coming down when the Lake was hit with a toxic algal bloom.

Conservation Agencies and City Council will be working on a community education program for Spring 2027 (suggestions of existing, sharable resources welcome).

Discussion 🗣️ Is Frankenmuth safe for a solo black traveler

I’m going to Frankenmuth alone for a three-day work trip in December, and I wanna feel comfortable enough to go out in the late evening for a drink or some food?

I’ve been to Frankenmuth before with family during the day, but never alone overnight, of course I intend to practice safe and careful practices but should I be worried about being African American?

Discussion 🗣️ Looking for an employment attorney — contingency-based EEOC representation

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for recommendations for an employment attorney experienced in ADA disability accommodation cases and EEOC mediation.

I was terminated following approximately 17 months of medically documented leave. I understand the length of my absence presents a significant legal challenge, but I have documentation of my anticipated return date, accommodation discussions, and communications with HR and the company's leave administrator.

I've already initiated the EEOC process and am awaiting corrections to my prepared charge.

I'm seeking full representation on contingency if possible. Alternatively, I would appreciate recommendations for attorneys willing to handle the EEOC process, mediation, and settlement negotiations on contingency.

I cannot afford upfront legal fees but am willing to pay an agreed percentage of any recovery.

I'm open to Michigan or Alabama attorneys qualified to handle the matter. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Discussion 🗣️ Food question for Chinese Michiganders

Thumbnail

265 Upvotes

Hello! I recently moved back to Michigan (Grand Rapids area) after spending ~3yrs in NYC. My girlfriend, who's only ever lived in NYC, came back with me. Both her parents were born in China, and she's used to having an abundance of Chinese cuisine around. We've found some Asian supermarkets that have much of what she wants for around the house, but as far as restaurants go, there are a few things she's been missing. In this case, I'm hoping some of you folks might be able to help me find somewhere that serves the food pictured below.

As I understand it, this is called 肉碎肠粉/cheung fun/minced pork rice noodles. There are versions of this commonly served for dim sum, but what she's looking for is not that. From what she's told me, the version she's looking for that's seen in those pictures is generally silkier & thinner than the dim sum variety. I did some research and I think what she wants is a sort of Guangdong-style street variant, but neither of us are sure of the name.

​If anyone knows a place in lower MI that serves this, that'd be hugely appreciated!
