Realistically, which industries are hiring? All the jobs around me are for nurses.

What's your preferred method of job search?

My fiance and I just got engaged and are looking for wedding venues for June 2028! I've seen all of the classic places online but wondering if anyone has any hidden gems. Not really looking for a barn, but outdoors-ish would be nice. We're from Macomb County and downriver, so really anything in the span of the Metro Detroit or Ann Arbor area LOL! Thanks (:

I sure hope not - it’s only one day & it’s going to rain tmrw but I’m worried the heat is going to shock the trees & ruin the foliage before it gets a chance to peak next week :(

Republican state Senate candidate John Goldwater’s business connections to China extend beyond a recently reported lawsuit accusing him of selling counterfeit food additives and evading tariffs on Chinese imports.

Import records obtained by Metro Times identify numerous Chinese suppliers doing business with two companies where Goldwater has held positions, including a chemical manufacturer identified as state-owned and another that has publicly promoted its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Nine Michigan U.S. House lawmakers were reimbursed nearly $192,000 in taxpayer money for lodging and meal costs for days spent in Washington for work last year, amounting to an average 12% bump for the participating members in 2025, according to a Detroit News analysis of federal data.

It’s been over a year since I’ve been home to Michigan! When we stepped out of the car two days ago back in Michigan I got so excited about the smells. I know it may sound weird but living in the prairies I don’t the dead leave/ forest smell and I’m all here for it. We went out to Tahquamenon Falls to see some fall colors and the drive there and back from The Soo was gorgeous! Here are a few photos from my day.

Today was beautiful

I know this post comes up from time to time, but I don't recall seeing one for a while. Has anyone noticed that Vernors Zero Sugar tastes different lately? It almost tastes like Barrett's Ginger Beer...it's just a little sweeter or something.

Hi everyone, michigan born and bred native here!

This is a bit of a strange ask once you know why Im asking.

I was reading up on the history of ramen, and it says that what makes a good ramen is showcasing what makes the area great, or special, and using fresh ingredients. So I had the idea of making a Michigan ramen showcasing what michigan is known for. I know were known for cherries, and Im already experimenting with some savory cherry recipes I found online to use as a toppings, but Im struggling to think of other things to add as topping that would compliment them, and also what type of broth to use. I want to really make it special, so any help would be appreciated!

In the spring of 1934 the Historic American Buildings Survey put unemployed architects to work measuring old buildings. Six of them did Gordon Hall in Dexter: Howard Simons drew the east elevation, Robert Deigert the plan, Frank Wright the half-inch elevation, and Ralph Vervalin, Philip McDonnell and Herbert Wenzell the rest. Seventeen sheets, dated April 28, 1934, in the Library of Congress, free to anyone.

The house is Greek Revival, built 1841 to 1843 for Judge Samuel Dexter, who founded the town; Calvin Fillmore designed it. The sheets give it in feet and inches: a 49 ft main block behind six fluted columns, each 21 ft 7 in tall; a kitchen wing running 48 ft to the north; split fieldstone under everything. The plan has two drawing rooms, a servants' hall and a scullery.

The four-storey tower at the left of the drawing is the part that no longer exists. Millisent Dexter added it in the 1870s. When Katharine Dexter McCormick, the Judge's granddaughter, bought the house back in 1939, her architect Emil Lorch spent eight years restoring it and took the tower down. The 1934 survey is the only measured record of it.

I'm an architect, and I'm making a game about drawing houses in elevation, the way these sheets are drawn. As a test I rebuilt Gordon Hall in it from the 1934 measurements, tower included. Top is the HABS elevation, middle is the house drawn in the game, bottom is the game's photograph of it. A few things don't match: the lookout's X-braced rail is plain posts in mine, the columns aren't fluted, and the stair window on the tower's south side is simplified. For the record, I wrote the game with AI coding tools; the drawings and the photograph are the game's own renderer working from the lines, not generated images.

McCormick gave the house to the University of Michigan in 1950 and it was faculty apartments for fifty years. The Dexter Area Historical Society bought it in 2006 and has been working on it since.

If anyone has been inside, or has photographs from before the tower came down, I'd like to see them.
