As someone who kinda gets grumpy when I have to go shopping, I feel uniquely qualified to say: Robot Supply and Repair is the ultimate best. Period. I almost don’t want to give away what makes this place so awesome, because the reveal as I walked in the door without knowing anything about it –ContinueContinue reading “The Most Wonderful Shop of the Year”

Paws and Pie
A couple weeks ago a local Detroit animal shelter brought dogs, cats, and other mammals to the first floor of my office building downtown (as well as free pie, but that’s another story). It was an absolute treat to watch these creatures work their magic and transform otherwise stoic all-business coworkers into piles of mushyContinueContinue reading “Paws and Pie”

Rediscovering Detroit: Mercury Burger & Bar
Not to be confused with the band Mercury Salad which I blogged about recently, I had the recent pleasure of meeting a friend at one of our favorite pre-pandemic spots on Michigan Ave: the Mercury. One of the absolute best places to get a turkey burger, this Corktown location is probably better known for itsContinueContinue reading “Rediscovering Detroit: Mercury Burger & Bar”

Rediscovering Detroit: Mercury Salad
Lean in, and I’ll tell you a little secret: the music scene is Detroit is alive, well, and kicking serious tush. Even more than I was giving it credit for. I admit, I’d gotten into a happy little groove with my 3-4 performers to follow, and was content to focus my fangirl activities on thisContinueContinue reading “Rediscovering Detroit: Mercury Salad”
Down at the Ole Cafe
It’s been awhile since I’ve had the opportunity to prop out a new local Detroit band. This time I headed out to my favorite lesser known dry cafe in Oak Park, Berkley Coffee, to catch a little folk rock Americana courtesy of Poor Player. In their own words, Poor Player is “all about finding theContinueContinue reading “Down at the Ole Cafe”

The Bridge
I recently paid another visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), for their special “Van Gogh in America” exhibition. My more constant readers will not be surprised to hear that I kinda sorta really liked it. What surprised me, however, was that despite being surrounded by 74 incredible works of his — all broughtContinueContinue reading “The Bridge”
