This happened yesterday in broad daylight to my 11 year old son and his best friend, right across from Big League Brews.

They were riding their bikes not even three minutes from our house when a man stopped his car, got out, approached them with cash, and said, “Here, I have some money. Do you want to go with me? Do you want to get in and go for a ride?”

My son and his friend were completely caught off guard, but they did the right thing and quickly got away from him.

Thankfully, another gentleman saw what was happening, stopped immediately, and made sure the boys were okay. The man then got back in his car, pulled into the bar parking lot, and went inside like nothing had happened.

The police were called, and a nearby neighbor’s security camera captured the incident. The man was arrested, and his car was impounded. I was later told he may have had previous incidents, but I don’t know the details, so I can’t speak to that.

I’m still in shock. I am beyond grateful that my son and his best friend are okay, and so thankful for the strangers who stepped in, called the police, and stayed with the boys until I got there.

I never imagined something like this would happen so close to our home, especially in broad daylight. It really makes you realize how quickly something can happen. I’m just so thankful my son and his friend are safe.

Does anyone know where I can get Chinese Bourbon Chicken, like they used to have at mall food courts? I remember they'd give you a free sample on a toothpick. It was delicious. I haven't had it in YEARS.

I don't know any Chinese joint Downriver that makes it. The closer to Downriver the better.

Guess it’s park where ever you feel with this ugly ass car

Found an 8mm cassette of a family baptism from the early 2000s - can you help me reunite it with the owners??

Grew up downriver live south make it back couple times a year
But saw the strip mall closed on tele/eureka wonder what’s going on or going in there?

I'm tired bro

Hello - posting here because I don't want 900 people on Facebook responding with questionable recommendations, realtors suggesting they can just sell my home instead, or lectures about why I should be cutting my own lawn.

I am currently using a local lawn care service that I loathe. I'm aware that I am capable of cutting my own grass, but I'm a single mom (who works too hard and loves her kids and never stops) and have travel commitments for work plus a lot of child-related extra-curricular activities.. so this is just something I'm choosing to outsource .. because quite frankly, I hate cutting my grass.

However, the company I've hired never does edging, tends to leave my backyard a mess, has broken my back fence to move equipment in/out to cut (to the point where my dog has now slipped out of the yard twice and the fence needs to be fully replaced), and is very unreliable in many other ways. I'd get into more specifics, but I'm paranoid they'll see this and figure out who posted this.

I'm going to keep the service for the remainder of the season.. but I was hoping someone here might have some good recommendations for lawn care providers.

I currently pay $40/cut. I have no idea what typical rates are, as this is the first time I've hired a lawn care company.. so I'm pretty open to suggestions if the company actually does a decent job.

Thanks in advance!

I currently like in Ypsi but my husband works in Monroe while I work in Dearborn. My current job is temporary to August 2027 but there is a chance i get an extension or permanent job after this project. My apartment lease is up next May/June.

I hate my current apartment and with all the construction between Ypsi to Dearborn, it takes almost an hour to commute.

My husband and I have been thinking of moving closer to our jobs. I just started looking at places to rent but would like suggestions on places to check out, ones to avoid, etc. I have been told Southgate is nice but I’m open to other suggestions.

Has anyone spotted any DTE trucks around our area this weekend working on outages? I know they’re working somewhere because people are getting power restored in some places, but driving all over downriver this weekend we saw not a single truck working on anything. Not even an off-duty truck en route to a location. Nothing but support for our local line workers, but what is DTE having them do?

How is everyone holding up in the dark, on day 3?

Someone hacked into the system! LoL!!

This sign on Jefferson near the GI bridge had its message updated last night. There were two police officers by it the first time I drove by. This was after 8pm on the 4th.

Starting this Saturday 8-midnights ADHDalex of Audial Entertainment will be DJing every Saturday night

It's really not complicated. Sometimes when it's larger roads with multiple lanes in each direction, sure, it's a little confusing if people start getting very out of sync, but if we all just drive like adults and *be predictable* and not self-centered idiots, it's still not bad. Come on. We're all in this together.

Also someone please turn down the temperature a bit, and the humidity quite a bit. That would be very helpful.

See you all Monday by 11:30pm.

P.S., if anyone has cool pictures of storm damage they don't mind sharing, this is a reasonable place for it. I saw a live downed power line for the first time today (as in, with my own eyes, not a photo, etc). Neat. Someone put that back, please. I was using that.

With the storms, does anyone have an update if Southgate and Lake Erie Metropark are doing fireworks tonight?
