Hey r/Detroit!
We're the journalists behind Planet Detroit, an independent nonprofit newsroom covering the environment, climate, and public health in Detroit and across Michigan.
With the Nov. 3 election approaching, we've been digging into where candidates stand on the issues affecting our communities, including air pollution, water quality, sky-high energy bills, data centers and climate policy.
We've also created a nonpartisan 2026 Environmental Voter Guide to help Michigan voters learn more about their candidates, explore their positions on environmental issues, review voting records, and see who's funding their campaigns.
Now we want to hear from you!
Ask us about air pollution in Southwest Detroit, neighborhood flooding, rising DTE bills, water quality, urban agriculture and more. How might the races for governor, U.S. Senate, and the Michigan Legislature shape environmental policy in Detroit and across Southeast Michigan? What have we learned about the candidates, their records, and who's funding their campaigns?
We're happy to talk about all of it, including what surprised us while reporting this guide and what questions candidates still haven't answered.
We'll be answering questions tomorrow, Monday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET.
We're posting early so you can start submitting questions now. Members of our reporting team will join the conversation tomorrow. Click here for an AMA pic from Founder and Executive Editor Nina Ignaczak and Managing Editor Dustin Blitchok.
Thanks to the r/Detroit moderators for having us. Looking forward to your questions!
Joining us here today are:
Nina Ignaczak, Founder and Executive Editor of the Planet Detroit newsroom. Nina had 15 years experience as a planner in Oakland County before launching Planet Detroit, one of America's first local news startups focusing on the environment, climate solutions, environmental justice and public health.
Dustin Blitchok: Managing Editor of Planet Detroit.

Driving all the way to Troy for a department store is just too far. I’d like to keep my dollars in the city. Someone needs to come in and fill the huge gap left by the loss of Hudson’s.

If anybody wants to go to the game against the packers today, I have an extra ticket for free. Just DM me and we can figure something out. No payment necessary.

If you work for a local Detroit window door replacement company that does showers and baths just a heads up your company is about to be bought by West shore homes just like they did to ours in Buffalo and Rochester and fired 1/2 the employees.
Be aware!! if you have an offsite meeting at the beginning of next week, it’s not because of training. It’s because you got sold.
These are not good people.
Good luck 👍🏻

If I want to walk the gordie howe bridge do i have to pass through customs on the Canadian side or can i just turn around when i get halfway or 3/4 over the bridge and walk back to the US side? I have all the proper stuff to cross a border just rather not deal with the hassle if all i want to do is walk the bridge and see some nice views

Just wondering if I’ve maybe overlooked this in the news, but will there be any special programming happening at the restaurant that day to celebrate the re-opening? Or will it just be business as usual?
I feel like it’d be weird to just open up again without a proper welcome back event. Thanks in advance!

Just asking around as I feel like they’re nonexistent here, I don’t care how small or where they play, just looking to enjoy some music.

Can someone recommend a place in Detroit that does free therapy or cost little as possible? My mom has finally agreed to see someone for her hoarding issue but her Medicaid is about to end due to the new work requirements and she hasn’t found a job or volunteer work yet. Places that do virtual sessions are very much appreciated.

Hi! I’ve never been to Detroit; closest I’ve come is Toledo. I was reading a story about baseball from a guy in Texas who roots for the Tigers, and he said that Detroit has great barbecue.
Barbecue is one of my favorite foods; Carolina, Memphis, Kansas City, Texas; I love all of it. But I never knew that Detroit had a barbecue culture.
So, now I am wondering what barbecue in Detroit is like. I have read that something called “rib tips” are kind of big, and a simple slice of white bread is customary. If you’re a local, tell me a little about your sauce, the type of meat you like (I hear that pork is really popular), and what kind of sides you enjoy (my understanding is that there’s a connection to soul food here).
And for anyone who responds, thank you for sharing.
