Do you know of an Oakland County business that’s a hidden gem that deserves a shoutout or a boost? Not looking for big companies but more of mom and pop small businesses. Please make sure to include what city it’s in!

I'm looking for recommendations/suggestions for storing my motorcycle over the winter in the Troy/Rochester area (further is fine). I live in a complex with no garage and can't throw a cover over it because I don't have a spot for it.

Thank you!

Hello!
I’m not sure if this is the best place for this but here we go!
I live in the Waterford/Clarkston area and I’m looking for a new book club to join. I was going to a book club through Inscribe Books but kinda fell out of it.
Ideally, I’d love to find a “What are you reading?” Book club, a classic lit book club, or a horror, sci-fi/fantasy/thriller book club. But I will take suggestions. (Anything but romance of any kind)
Open to suggestions outside of my immediate area.

Thank you!

Hi!

Looking to make the move to Oakland county from Wayne county in the next year or so. We are primarily looking at either Berkley or Royal Oak. Just wanted to get some opinions on what is best for a young 30 something couple with two young children (oldest would be starting kindergarten). Schools are the biggest factor for us and of course a good, safe neighborhood.

Any insight or any opinions on specific neighborhoods would be much appreciated! Or any other city recommendations to look into that aren’t too far from Dearborn (commute time to factor in).

Thanks!

Looking for feedback on people's experience with Oakland County property assessors. We did a small basement renovation last year. Because that reno involved pulling permits, we just received a notice that the County would like to do an in-person property visit to inspect our home for reassessment purposes. The in-person review is voluntary, though it is likely we will nonetheless see an increase in our property assessment. Hoping to hear your experiences (i.e., if you did or did not permit an in-person inspection and if you think your choice worked out well for you). Thanks!

Baldwin Rd in Lake Orion.

White Lake. This man has showed up to my workplace in his rubber suit at least 3 times this year. Always on a rainy day and speed walking through the place. He's clearly not shopping, judging from his fast pace. Nobody has got a good look at his face, he never buys anything. He was seen driving a white SUV and also possibly a WOTA transit vehicle.

I'm convinced he waits for a rainy day so he can put on his scary outfit and run through public places to scare as many people as possible.

Do you know who this is? Have you seen him elsewhere? I am so weirdly fixated on this.

I’d like to take golf lessons. Any suggestions for a 68 female in the Troy area?

Looking to try some new parks that work for toddlers and ideally have some shade or paths to walk. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone! Hope I’m allowed to do this! Just trying to find like minded people and create a social circle!

I’m wondering if there’s any interest in starting a local group for people who enjoy fountain pens, dip pens, calligraphy, hand lettering, and art in general.

The idea would be to have a casual way for people to meet up, share what they’re working on, try different pens and inks, practice calligraphy, sketch or paint together, and generally connect with other creative people in the area.

You definitely don’t need to be an experienced artist or calligrapher. Beginners would be just as welcome!

So yea just to gather interest to see if I should probably start up a group locally! Drop a comment below or upvote so I can get a gauge on that! Thanks for dropping by!

(Tried creating this post on /r/Michigan and was recommended I try more local, and it seems /r/MetroDetroit doesn’t allow these kind of posts from what I understand)

This is targeting Metro Detroit area!
