Any clue what is going on with the Urbanrest Tap Room? Looks like they have closed, sign is down.

i (32f) moved back here a couple years ago (grew up in waterford) and work remotely — finding real-life friends has been a task, but here i am, shooting my shot on this sub. i can carry a conversation, i have unique interests, and i’m the proud mom of a very sweet pup. comment or message me if interested — there’s loads we can do in the area (coffee, thrifting, book stores, etc.).

p.s. do you prefer your cider mill donuts sugared or plain?

p.s.s. what’s your favorite, uniquely michigan thing to do

Hi all, I’m currently looking for a roommate to share half of the rent with utilities from mid/end-December 2026 to mid-May 2027 in downtown Detroit.

My current roommate is moving out due to personal circumstances. The apartment is a 2-bed 2-bath with a shared living room and kitchen. It’s super convenient for working folks with a microwave, fridge, dishwasher and in-unit washer and dryer. There are also other amenities: gym, pool, Amazon lockers and a market. There's also security on-site and code-protected entrances. It's also connected to a people mover and the Riverwalk.

Current base rent is 1,115 and we’ll split wifi and other utilities. There’s a monthly fee for the parking and you’ll have the master bedroom with a giant closet + bathroom attached.

I’d love to live with people who identify as femme, non-binary or queer individuals. Plus, someone who is quiet (no loud parties, please), neat, pro-LGBTQ+, responsible, employed - would be great if you also love the area.

Some of my personal info: I’m a creative intern in my early twenties, female, recently graduated from CCS. I really love making art, Clairo and walking!

If you’re interested or know someone, please message 𓇼 ⋆。˚ 𓆝⋆。˚ 𓇼. Many thanks!

Anyone have any luck contacting city services about installing additional safety measures at intersections? We’ve had a lot of close calls crossing at center and 9 mile even with the button light crosswalk system. Drivers look directly at us as they speed up to try to beat us walking across. I submitted a couple complaints through the clickfix system but haven’t heard anything. Concerned someone is going to get hit there! Any advice is welcome

They used to release beers weekly but they haven’t had a release since August. Anyone have any insight?

We'd love to see you there. I'm happy to answer any questions or provide more info if needed!

Light grey/tan, striped, with a blue collar. Seemed friendly but skittish, couldn’t get a good look at the collar but wanted to see if anyone knew the owner or if the cat was a roamer, thanks to anyone with info!

I’m in a bad situation and need to move to Ferndale with my cat and my dog. But I live on SSI which doesn’t afford me any apartment in a normal situation. I also have a Bridge Food Card which helps. What should I do?

Wife and I plus our 3 year old are ready to move closer back home in Oakland county where we are from. I grew up in Troy and would like to suck it up and move there for the schools, my wife really likes ferndale and I do too especially for the cost of a home, but I am concerned about the school district. I was a 2012 grad and I remember visiting ferndale for sports all through high school and it felt pretty ghetto to me, the city looks like it’s changed a lot , but how are the schools really? Please people with kids in schools reply only

Looking for the best (dry) martini in and around Ferndale. Who has good recs?

Take the prescreening survey to see if you qualify!

I’m from the area originally and I’m excited to move back with my family. But it seems like every home we view online was purchased a year ago for a reasonable price, got a cheap facelift of millennial grey paint, laminate flooring, and AI staging, and is now listed for twice (or more) the price from a year ago. I know this is happening everywhere, and some of it has to do with greater economic issues, but it seems particularly egregious in Ferndale compared to surrounding areas. Just venting my frustrations I guess. How are y’all handling house hunting when everything appears to be a price gouging flipper? Are people holding off buying or just going for it since it is a nationwide issue?

seriously yall do we just hate having money around here? also is everyone enjoying their sidewalk bills?

I’m hosting an all neurodivergent and queer art show at the LGBT center, Affirmations on Saturday OCT 10th 1-4pm we will have vendor tables also set up as well as gallery walls exhibiting the artwork for a month! Hope to see yall next Saturday!

Hello everyone, I just moved into a home near Donald-Geary park this year.

With Halloween approaching I was hoping to get a gauge on how big trick or treating is in the area just so I can make sure I’m stocked up to hand out candy

I lived in Ferndale about 10-15 years ago. Our budget didn't have room for the main store, so they sent us to the warehouse, which had tons of treasures. We're back in the area now and I haven't been able to find it, wondering if they had to close it down or relocate.

Is it still around?

Growing up, people used to do boo baskets for the kids in the neighborhood. Is this something that still happens?? I had a baby recently so I thought it would be cute to do a boo basket for my neighbor who has little kids from my newborn!
