How to get inside . I wanna see.

So I use a bank that does not have physical locations, and live in an apt complex that has coin laundry machines.

Where do y'all get quarters from around here? Are there any particular banks (where you aren't an acct holder) or stores that don't mind trading a $10 for a roll? I feel bad rolling up to a laundromat just to trade out cash for quarters and then bounce.

A new fantasy tavern place opened up just outside of Ypsi in Van Buren. I tried to go after work but it was packed so I didn't get a chance to actually see what it was like, but everything I saw from their bit of marketing seems really cool. They have draft root beer, which I'm not entirely sure what that means. It sounds like it'd make a good third space, so I'm curious if anyone else got to go to it, and what their thoughts were. Or if anyone else is planning to go to it.

Bring the kids to Neuroscience Storytime at our downtown branch from 1–3pm for stories and hands-on activities all about the brain, led by our friends at Ruvvy Resilience Lab and Wayne State’s Silberstein Institute for Brain Health. Free, no registration needed!

Hey guys im looking for a dentist in the area I moved here last year im am 24 and a bit embarrassed I have never been to the dentist in my life growing up we never had insurance for it and my parents never thought it was a big deal the problem now is my teeth are really bad and im worried that if I go they will make fun of me for having such bad teeth.

Hi! Next month is NaNoWriMo! The idea is, you write a whole first draft from the 1st to fhe 31st. The official tournament is defunct but who cares? No parents, no rules!

I’m looking to see if anyone is interested in a local group or local supports. Thank you!

Take the prescreening survey to see if you qualify!

Hi all, I'm a graphic designer based in ypsi, and i'm looking to update my linked in/site with some professional portraits, maybe in my home office +/ around town.

It's paved, freshly painted, and beautiful. There's a nice little crosswalk painted by 734 Brewery and Thrift Depot, too. Construction is still ongoing at the boat launch on the north side of the lot by the W Forest Street entrance/exit. Tons of spaces, and today is a beautiful day to check out Depot Town and downtown.
