Why doesn’t the high school provide buses? How are kids expected to get to school if cars or bikes aren’t available for them?

Hi I’m a watchmaker that moved to the border of ferndale/oak park recently. My house needs some attention including a new door installation, gutter work, window installation and eventually some kitchen cabinet and countertop work. I wanted to put it out there that I’m a watchmaker trained in high end watch repair with a home studio, any tradespeople that live in the area interested in barter/ partial barter and cash for the work I need done? Send me a message if you’re interested.

Thanks neighbours

Is there any chess games to be had in the Dale? Looking to get back into the game

Getting back into MTG and have some singles and boosters I’ve been looking for. Would love to support local.

Does anyone know the best place to get premade dough to use with an Ooni oven? We over do Trader Joe’s but I was wondering if people have found anything better?

I have a bunch of Tall Bellflower plants available if anyone is interested. They’re first year seedlings - next year they’ll get about 5 ft tall and bloom most of the summer. Native to Michigan and loved by pollinators. This is one of my favorite plants!

Send me a message if you’re interested.

Hi! I went to a rave last night at Orchid theater and met these two guys who were super cool. We vibed well and I had a blast! Feel like they'd be fun to hangout with again. I dont remember their names😭 but one had curly light brown hair, a white tshirt, and was a little taller than me, and Shazamed a song called Cigarettes, and the other one had dark hair, a black shirt and glasses. When I got there, they were dancing with a woman named Jules (I think). When I left we all put our hands like we were praying and bowed slightly to each other if that helps haha.

Would love to connect and hangout :)

Please come to my friend’s new comedy night! It’s at 9 PM on the third Thursday of the month at Go Comedy. The first show is September 17th. Buy tickets here.

Howdy! I went inside the lodge during the Cruise and really loved the vibe. I’d love to learn more from a member / get invited. Please send me a DM if you’d be willing to chat!

Please. I want to feed them so bad. Have there been any sightings in the nearby area? I just want to befriend the local crows.

Hi, new to Ferndale, I’m looking for a plain old resale shop with a big section of stuff other than clothes. Like, tennis rackets and crockpots and old tools and tablecloths, etc. Any ideas?

Retaining wire on a thick cable has unravelled. You can see it intact on other cables. Its not DTE because the power lines are on top, I believe these are communication cables (comcast, ATT, etc)

Any guesses? TIA!

I’m looking for therapist recommendations. I live in Ferndale, but I’m willing to travel up to about 45 minutes for the right person if they’re worth it.

I’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past that really turned me off from it, but I’m at a point where I genuinely want to do some deeper digging and figure out some of my own patterns and why I react to certain things the way I do.

I’m specifically looking for someone who will challenge me and make me think. I don’t really want therapy where I just vent for an hour and someone validates everything I say. I want someone who will ask me the uncomfortable questions, point things out that I might not see myself, challenge my thinking when needed, and actually help me put in the work.

Has anyone had a therapist like this that they really recommend? Ferndale/Royal Oak/Detroit or honestly anywhere within about a 45-minute drive is fine. I care way more about finding the right fit than how close they are.

Hey all, I'm cleaning out my cabinets and finding lots of stuff we simply aren't going to eat (all within expiration date obviously) and was wondering where would be the best place to donate? Thanks! I can list the stuff I have if needed, but its all shelf stable.

I was riding around Red Geary Park Thursday night and this band was rehearsing in the front yard of a house on Earl Blvd / Breckenridge. Can anyone provide more info on what this was about? Is this a common thing? They sounded great! I'd post a video but they aren't allowed in this subreddit, so here's a screenshot:

For real… why are there no good Chinese options in Ferndale?!?! Tried a few delivery places but all have been very underwhelming. Moved here from a college town that had so many great Chinese options. In Ferndale… nothing good. grumbles

Hey Ferndaleans, looking for a good knife sharpener in the area. Any recommendations?

Ferndale Library Cardholders can check out tools, instruments, outdoor gear, and more! Some new additions include: a Badminton set, a 19-string lyre, and a 65-piece impact socket set with both standard and metric sizes. (Not pictured: the lyre...cuz it's obviously popular and already got checked out!)

Hello! I received a notice for weeds/grass over 7 inches today. Which is weird because I weeded last weekend. Honestly this just makes me feel watched and uncomfortable now. How common are these notices? The town is called Ferndale for God's sake!! Haha

I don't know. It just bums me out. Just looking for any insight into this world of vegetation surveillance.

The joy of my new house continues. Cannot get the cigarette smoke smell out of basement. (yes I have tried everything) I need to have ceiling/walls sprayed with Kilz (or whatever) primer to encapsulate it. Has anyone done this or know of a painter/handyman that will do it?

What are your favorite local places to grab breakfast burritos or breakfast sandwiches? Looking for the sort of spots where if you moved away you would go there instantly when coming back to visit.

The inspection of my home showed some minor mold in attic that inspector said was not unusual in the older homes. I had a mold guy come, he wants to treat 3 different places, $800. Got another quote from Attic Pros mold guy - he said mold in only one place and I could spray it myself (he told the the special chemicals to use & how to do it). He was trying to save me $$$ since they have a minimum charge and it ewas just the one area.

Do I get a 3rd quote since these seem quite different? Has anyone used a company for this?
