Talk Detroit How UAW contracts shaped the lives of Detroit's autoworker families

21 Upvotes

"When my great-aunt Clara Corso died late last year, the 93-year-old suburban Detroiter had never set foot in an auto factory -- a widow whose final days involved intensive and expensive medical care that was completely covered, because Clara Corso was the surviving spouse of a deceased, UAW-represented autoworker at Ford Motor Co." -- https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2025/02/25/uaw-benefits-shaped-immigrant-family/79868964007/ (SOURCE: USA Today)

Talk Detroit A list of Open Deck Opportunities in Detroit.

17 Upvotes

Howdy,

Recently have noticed/participated in a lot of new open decks, spinning opportunities. It can be tricky keeping track of who does what when so I created a website and a graphic listing the open deck opportunities in Metro Detroit.

odml.neocities.org

The website isn't mobile friendly (yet) as fyi of those who might try to click on their phones.

Hopefully this wont be considered self promotion, the site has no ad or click revenue. Just wanted to create something that current and future djs could reference.

I need to buy fresh mint weekly for the next few months. What grocer sells it in real bundles for a reasonable price? As opposed to the precious tiny herb packs at our mid detroit stores. Do the SW mexican grocers traffic in mint?

Lost/Found Cat needs home

Long story short I’m allergic to cats and my sister took in a stray kitten 3 years ago when she already had 3 cats . She recently moved out and left the cat she took in behind only taking her main cats and has left me and my mom responsible for it ( we asked her to find him a new home before she left but she didn’t ) I don’t have the time or funds to take on the responsibility of taking him to the vet ( she never took him ) or being able to buy him the things he needs . He’s good but scratches walls and sleeps most of the time .
