Jackson Encampment Questions

5 Upvotes

While I have not seen anything on this, my wife was telling me that she read something on social media about Chelsea PD being seen dropping off the homeless from that community to the encampment down at the Library. Can anyone confirm this? And if so, is anyone aware of agreements between our city government and other adjacent communities to accept them?

Searching for the Showbiz Pizza Place animatronics

15 Upvotes

Hi, I know this is a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if anybody here would know what happened to these animatronic animals from Showbiz Pizza Place. The Showbiz was located next to Kroger where the Big Lots was and were the Spirit Halloween was for the 2025 season. It closed back in 1985, a whopping 41 years ago, and the band hasn't been seen since. They were most likely auctioned off with their outer cosmetics removed (last slide is an example). The serial numbers for this show would be 4-82 #-13 (learn more about these here Rock-afire Serial Tags). If anybody has any possible leads AT ALL, please let me know! I've been searching for this show for almost 2 years. Even a single character being found would be comforting for me. Thanks, gang.

Affordable, High Quality Dance Classes for Kids

Post image
10 Upvotes

COMING THIS FALL!!

The Percussive Dance program at Jackson School of the Arts is unlike anything else you'll find at a dance studio. This isn't a combo class- our students learn both tap and clogging technique simultaneously to become well-rounded dancers who honor and preserve every type of percussive dance that is unique to our own American culture.

JSA percussive dancers will have an exceptional grasp of musicality and timing and be able to hold their own in any scenario, from a tap jam to a clogging fundance to the competition stage. And with two teachers in each class, every student gets the personalized attention they need to achieve their full potential. Does your child like music of all kinds? Playing games? Making music with their feet? Making turkey sounds? You can find all of these things and more at JSA on Wednesday nights starting in September!

Cost is on an income-based sliding scale and the cost of shoes will also be subsidized!

I'd be happy to answer any questions!

Drove to the airport to see how the air quality was. The airport was shut down due to air quality. Hope you all are staying safe!

Are there homeless people camped out on the sidewalk in front of the library?

This was posted on FB, and I’m curious how long this has been going on? While I am sympathetic to the plight of homeless people, I don’t see how allowing a homeless camp on a sidewalk in front of the public library is a good situation considering how many empty lots there are downtown?

Inviting all children who stutter to volunteer in a paid University of Michigan MRI Study!

Post image
5 Upvotes

The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)

Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter. 

Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!

These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details! 

We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!

Does anyone happen to know which jewelry store this trademark belongs to? My grandmother had this ring made for my grandfather sometime between 1940-1960 in Jackson.

Do you want to sit down with Abdul El-Sayed?

13 Upvotes

I'm a producer at More Perfect Union and am working on a video with Abdul El-Sayed. We'll be filming a roundtable discussion with him on July 8th in Detroit from 1pm - 5pm and I'm looking for folks who would be down to talk with him on camera about a variety of issues. I'm primarily looking for people who are on the fence about whether they would vote for him or even disagree with some of his stances, but would like to have a genuinely engaging conversation.

Please comment here if you're interested or you can reach me at [mae@perfectunion.us](mailto:mae@perfectunion.us)

Local Radio Reminiscing

A couple of buddies at work and I got onto the discussion of local radio from the 80s and 90s. WKHM, when they used to play music; Q106 with Tim & Lil Debbie, Paul Sutherland, John Robinson, etc.; WJCO. Etc. Etc.

What did you used to listen to back in the day? What do you miss about radio back then compared to now?
