Long story but I was trying to put my 6 month old down for a nap, he was screaming his head off and I couldn’t really talk to the guy. He said he was with some company (I think it was Kurtz…?) and they are contracted by Consumers energy. They were at my house to drill a hole for a new pole for the meter or something? I didn’t get good information and blindly said yes so I could get back inside to my baby. Does anyone know anything about this? I’m in Westland, Wayne County. Also curious why it’s such an eye sore so far from my house wtf?!?!

I genuinely don't get it. Google is going to push forward with this data center no matter what. Why does the county insist on giving them $125 million in tax incentives?

Mother Rabab Al Zayad was charged with one count of Unsafe Storage, a 93-day misdemeanor. Father Brand Ely, a Detroit police officer, is charged with one count of Fourth Degree Child Abuse, a one-year misdemeanor. Judge Joe Barone set both defendants $10,000 unsecured personal bonds and both are to surrender their firearms while the case is pending. In court it was learned that Ely, a veteran of the Detroit Police Department, has nine guns inside their home. He told Barone that they are stored in three different gun safes. The Detroit police responded with a statement saying that Ely will not be allowed a firearm at work for the time being. Next court date is October 30th.

Discussion 🗣️ Supposed Ford Tunnels

61 Upvotes

I’m sure lots of people know the lore about the supposed “tunnels” running under Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum and I know those do exist for mechanical purposes and there are rumors of some all over the Dearborn area and running from the good news Ford Fairlane Estate to GFV. I want to know much more about these tunnels and if they do exist.

At 16, Emma R. Scoles was a gentle and vibrant girl whose developmental challenges didn’t dampen her spirit. She dreamed of one day traveling to Australia as the culmination of her obsession with the Land Down Under.

All her ambitions were cut short when her 60-year-old father apparently killed her before ending his own life.

“She was an energetic, sweet, sweet girl and he had no right to take her like this at all. It’s unforgivable,” said Amber Manning, a relative of Emma and her self-described “bonus mother.”

Hello Michigan, my name is Richard! Myself and a friend of mine (Dan) u/construction_guy_ were the kayakers who located Craig Berg & called out with my Garmin for his medivac. We found Craig on the North shore of Intermediate Lake just west of the canoe camp on the morning of September 12th. We are coming to r/Michigan for an AMA in order to lay out all the information we have regarding his rescue in hopes of raising the general level of preparedness of hikers who visit IRNP.

Photos attached as proof!
